    “so what if they poisoned, are poisoning, and will continue to poison everyone in the US and abroad. So what if they single-handedly lowered the life expectancy of the planet, whilst if not causing, exacerbating every cancer. They make good tape.”

    Not trying to come at you, it’s just this is where we are as a society, and it makes me sad.

      The world also still let’s planes use lead gasoline. My point is you won’t be able to buy anything if you boycott every corpo that does something like this. It’d be great if you could, but you can’t.

        indeed. I think it’s emblematic of the corrupting influence of money. When literally every company you can think of is engaging in arguably evil practices, it begs the question, was Marx right?

        Marx described Socialism not in any concrete terms, but as the result of revolution against corporate capitalism. When workers decide that they’re tired of evil corporations and wealthy class protecting only their own, and instead return power to the workers via coops and anti-monopolistic regulations. Investing in the welfare of the common people, instead of bailing out companies that are “too big to fail.”

        Everyday I become more socialist.
