Not impossible, but mostly impossible. You can discuss the interesting aspects of large corporations, but you can't really discuss them in a vacuum. The top level post about "big kahuna" companies comes across as an unambiguous defense of monopolies, not an attempt at nuanced conversation.

Not a participant in your back-and-forth, but the top level comment seems to be much more nuanced than your posts. Perhaps you could:
