Why let pesky 'courts' and 'due process' get in the way of efficient ruling by capitalism and mega-corporations?

What are you talking about? The courts are involved.

Their business is already shut down - guilty until proven innocent, which is great because it really streamlines the whole justice process.

In fact this new form of justice is so efficient we can even shut down a company before the court proceedings have even started. By we I mean our corporate overlords, but they wouldn’t ever turn on us.

If they can prove that they were wrongfully shut down, then they can sue for damages, which is what keeps companies from abusing their power.

This isn't a new form of justice, this is how the civil legal system works.

This lasted surprisingly long until you invoked Godwin's law.

I'm done.
