Comment on What's stopping people who lash out at the world from going after corporations?

The wealthy assholes who destroy our planet and lives can afford to protect themselves. The other poor schmucks who are getting fucked over too can’t.
How would you get revenge against Amazon? Are you going after Bezos, who is probably on a private island getting sucked off right now? Are you going after the faceless corporate types that work in a well protected office building in a city you can’t afford to live in?
The greatest invention of late stage capitalism is that inaccessibility. On a smaller, less violent scale, you’re ultimately going to cuss out the underpaid customer service rep for the shitty store policy, not the wealthy asshole who made the policy.

Those low level workers also have to deal with exploitation, a job’s a job. That’s why Alphabet recently unionized, and then Alphabet retaliated against their unionized workers by firing them while they spoke to city council.
