Their attitude towards these things, make them look like they value corporations freedom above their own, probably with a expectation that someday their own "corporation" will be successful and then they will be able to have the same freedom. Which is a weird backwards way to value freedom.

Yes, the question is: who is putting this idea into people's minds?

It's kind of a myth that Americans are generally pro-freedom. We're one of the most litigious, punitive, and highly regulated nations on the planet. The only freedoms people usually care about are speech and guns; there's more but nobody really cares about them and just lets their lawyers figure that confusing stuff out. If we value freedom, it's the freedom for multinational corporations to control people.

For the same reasons Europeans do, I suppose. Nothing really changes across the Atlantic.
