Seriously

I don’t understand how this is even a remote comparison lol

Governments are companies that have accountability to the public, wherein the public has direct influence over their decisionmaking, unlike regular corporations where people have no influence whatsoever (without lobbying the government to regulate them, anyways).

To the extent that governments work against the people, it is largely because people in some countries are collectively very stupid and willingly support such governments.
