The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.
Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.
What foul company would you erase for good and why?
Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I’ve witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that history, I want to puke my guts out.

Societal drug abuse is indicative of so many systemic issues. It’s far beyond a shame that conservatives used ‘the war on drugs’ to attack minorities and political dissenters and enrich pharmaceutical companies instead of focusing on the roots of the issue.
ACAB: All Corporations Are Bastards Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.
“
” should make it obvious what kinds of corporations I’m talking about: the kinds that are privately owned, including the ones on so-called “public” stock exchanges.
It’s not corporations function to be ethical. Their function is to make the biggest profit possible and they will be evil as fuck, if there are no repercussions.
Corporations need to be constrained by law and oversight. Current trend is the opposite and we will be creating monsters to lead our future AI powered oligarchies.
I’m no communist but I agree.
I like you a lot more than any conservative.
I mean, all that are privately owned. A system that puts profit above all else will never have any corporation that acts ethically and in the interest of society.
But I also wanna mention, Nestlé isn’t a particularly evil corporation. It’s just the only food corporation where we know these things they’ve been up to but you can be damn sure the others aren’t any better.
Nestle is pretty particarly evil.
I’d argue the publicly owned ones are actually the bigger problems. At least with privately owned ones there’s usually a single individual or small group of individuals that can be influenced threatened and held accountable, or what passes for accountability these days. With publicly own companies though there’s this concept of the nebulous shareholder. There’s such a wide range of people who own the shares of the company that they are untouchable yet at the same time completely ignorable. Companies don’t have to answer to the shareholders because the shareholders don’t feel involved enough or care enough to actually speak out. Instead it’s the concept of the shareholder. Which is actually more dangerous. That anonymity makes it a more brutal and ravenous concept. Private companies are able to think more long term because the private owner is able to think long-term, or longer rather, where is publicly owned companies that Anonymous shareholder concept requires constant unending and immediate growth. Which is a cancerous concept. For society and the planet both.
Not that either is good of course, just that one’s more dangerous. Also Nestle is very very evil, publicly owned by the way.
All of the biggest ones … no corporation should be allowed to amass so much wealth that they could literally control entire countries or regions of the world. The fact that this level of power and control exists means we value money and capital over human life or even more terribly the value of millions of human lives.
If I get a single shot it’s Nestle for sure.
Multiple shots? bp, shell, exxon for obvious reasons.
with the exception of some mom and pop cornershops, some state owned corporations and almost all worker-owned cooperatives, pretty much all of them can go. but i’d start with palantir.

Palantir needs to fucking go.
I’m deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir’s data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.
All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.
See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.
Except Costco and Arizona Tea
Welcome to Costco, I love you.

So angry at Nestle and the time they killed all those African babies doesn’t even hit your highlight reel. I agree- we can do without Nestle.
So. Many. Choices. Not sure I can pick one.
