    Modern corporations are a damned plague. Most of these fuckers would destroy our whole cultural heritage in a heartbeat if it meant making a profit.

    Yes, corporations exist to make profit, but come on, there are limits.

      there are limits

      I am glad you have a moral centre.

      But that is the capitalist way. A Redditor once wrote: “*Corporations have no morals, no ethics, no code of conduct, no feelings, no empathy, and zero accountability. They have one goal and one goal only: to increase profits at all costs.”

      Case in point: the climate crisis. Corporations are literally destroying their own home for a symbol of success that, like their products, is man-made: money. It is the ultimate pursuit of vanity.

      Crazy, if you think about it for a moment.

        And yet by law in some places (the US being one, I believe) they are treated as people, with certain rights.

          Like people, but with a feduciary responsibility to gain wealth at every opportunity. Corporations are almost like vampires: they don’t need food or water, they don’t age, they have inhuman power, yet they wear the guise of people; they pass as human to make it easier to drain us of our blood, an endless thirst they feel compelled to heed.

        Yeah. The monsters gnawing away at nature, public infrastructure, your friends? They are called corporations.
        Btw, megacorps have multiple faces and are especially hungry.

        The AI techbros wanna scare you with tales of AI becoming sentient and going rogue to destroy us all, when corporations, mindless machines made out of people to maximize profits at all cost, are already doing all that
