I'll give 1 example out of many possible ones.
The government has the power to set rules that all corporations must follow. No corporation has this power. Only government does.
That alone sets it apart, and makes it incorrect to state that the government is a corporation.
Wether you think this is how it should be or not is a different matter. Wether you think this is only because people are stupid and brainwashed is is irrelevant. This is how it is. I don't think this is how it should be. I don't support this state of affairs. But I acknowledge that this is the reality.
It's fine to think things should be a certain way. It's not fine to pretend they are that way when they are not. That's the difference between idealism and delusion.
No they do not have any power over me. Without my consent nobody have any power over me.
But if you give your consent, then is your problem not mine. Do not try to put me in the same cage you are in.
Please show me that proof, document, from where a government have any authority over me. Where did I sign that and give the power to somebody ?
A gov will be in power as long the dumb people will continue to give their consent.

Darth, focus. You're not responding to what I said, you're responding to a conversation you're having by yourself in your own mind. I didn't say they have power over you. I said they are not a corporation and to pretend they are is delusional.
"A gov will be in power as long the dumb people will continue to give their consent."
This is exactly my point. You know that the government is in power and you know why. Wether it's dumb for people to do this or not does not materially affect the real true fact that they are in power and that their power and behavior is very different from a corporation.
You know all this Darth, why are you pretending otherwise?

Do you know what is DUNS number?
Every fucking commercial company in the world must have a DUNS number.
Ok now look at this: every fucking government in this fucked up world have a DUNS number... govs are CORPORATIONS.

Darth, that's a really stupid argument. "All corporations must have a DUNS" doesn't mean all entities with a DUNS number are corporations.
You're engaging in a Converse Error fallacy here.
All squares are rectangles.
→ True.
All rectangles are squares.
→ False.
Same pattern:
All corporations have DUNS numbers.
X has a DUNS number.
Therefore, X is a corporation.
→ Fallacy.
But more importantly, "Corporation" is a very well defined term with specific legal implications.
A corporation is a specific kind of legal entity created under corporate law. A government is a different kind of legal entity. Having a DUNS number does not make the government a corporation, it just provides a standardized identifier for administrative purposes. The government is a sovereign entity, created by a constitution or statute, with powers that a corporation does not have, such as taxation, law enforcement, and regulation. Governments may create government-owned corporations (also called state-owned enterprises or crown corporations depending on your jurisdiction), but the government itself is not a corporation.
It's perfectly fine for you to have moral qualms about what the government does, that's very good Darth. It's great that you don't like the government. It's not great that you don't understand what a corporation is and what it isn't. Having a DUNS number is not what defines a corporation. And governments are very different from corporations in many ways. Not sure why you're so hung up on this but it just ain't so.
Lastly, I'm not sure if you think that insulting people and constantly saying how fucked up the world is bolsters your argument or if you just enjoy being an asshole, but I just want to let you know that it does not bolster anything, and that you're a proper asshole.
