What's stopping people who lash out at the world from going after corporations?

Obviously violence isn’t ever the answer but I’m just curious, when people go nuts and decide to take life and cause terror, what makes their decision to attack something like say a school or a church/mosque, a sporting event. As far as I see it in this day and age the biggest stressors in our society are corporations yet you never see someone say. “Yeah im gonna attack Amazon or HG wells”

Why is this? Why seemingly random places

Well… It used to be called “going postal” because of the frequent mass shootings in postal offices by postal workers…

Why that changed I can’t tell you.

On a slightly funny(?) note, postal the game was created where you are in fact going postal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_(video_game)

Apparently there is a plot line that is not about shooting postal workers, so who knows.

That's not true.

ETA: the perception of "frequent mass shootings" maybe stuck because it was novel, at the time.

If you don’t like corporations do your best not to give them your money

They attack those that let them down the most, that they wanted the most from. It’s how we all operate really.
