That said, I don't accept corporations have the kind of personhood that should come with "inalienable rights" to speech as this kind of thing turns from "free and open debate" (good) into "those who have power get to be propagandists" (bad). And I'm saying that before reading the article, so I don't even know if this is a red or a blue (or yellow or green) thing.
Huh. Just realised a thing. If the US constitution is what gives corporations free speech, do US corporations also have a right to bear arms and form a militia?
Edit: Now I have read the page, still wasn't sure why this was potentially political, googled stickermule, never heard of them before.
Sticker Mule is one of the major internet-order small-batch/on-demand custom
sticker/T-shirt/swag suppliers. You may know them from "unixstickers".
Following Trump getting shot, Sticker Mule send out a marketing email to customers encouraging them to buy a T-shirt that "shows you support Trump."
This has caused many Sticker Mule customers to seek alternatives. Sticker Ninja has benefited greatly from this (they are "slammed", as TFA says). Sticker Ninja hasn't done anything political here, and that's sort of the point; they haven't while Sticker Mule has.
A corporation cannot bear arms without a physical person/object (drone?) doing so, whereas speech can be done by the corporation as a purely legal entity. I guess the closest is a corporation can hire someone to do it, but that someone ultimately is a person/drone. Employment is not bearing arms.
