    They're the same, no?

    looks like more reason to qualify as most.

      For me, commercial social medias: they make money by spreading hate, violence, authoritarianism and misinformation.

        The system is the problem here, because it incentivizes these kinds of corporations to do these things.

        So by the very nature of capitalism, all corporations.

        When you have a boss "ruling over" a worker, that is just barely different than living as a serf. The difference here is you can choose your boss, but inherent in the system is that workers don't earn the full value of their work (surplus value), otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for the owner class to hire anyone.

        Worker-owned cooperatives are pretty cool, though. Would be nice if all corporations were forced to be worker-owned.

          Chiquita (or a parent company idc).

          Among the many other bad things they did, they knowingly AND REPEATEDLY hired terrorists, and also moved the US to overthrow the Guatemalan government just for a few labor laws.
          Is it even possible to get an order of magnitude more cynical than that?

          Name a company that wouldn't do it too if they'd get away with it.
          Not saying they're not pieces of garbage, but it's the system itself that's rotten from within

            I think you can't use the word cynical in that way. People can be cynical, but corporations can't. Corporations don't have that type of thought or feeling.

            So I'm really not sure what you're trying to ask. Are you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?

              It's not rotten but working exactly as intended.

                    Yeah you're right. Might've worded suboptimal. Working as intended, yet disgusting to the core. Better? πŸ™‚
