They aren’t. They are groups of people.

If we apply your statement are you saying corporations have zero constitutional protections? The state could seize their assets without compensation? Enter a company’s property to search it at any time and without a warrant?

My comment was a reference to corporate personhood, the legal notion that corporations are considered to be persons per se (i.e. not “groups of people”). Which is practiced in some countries, like e.g. the United States.

That makes no sense to me, but that’s the kind of world we live in.

So relax. Corporations don’t need your apologetics—they’re doing just fine.
