      Plenty of other countries have nationalised oil companies and they pull the same kind of shit too. Corruption and gaslighting are a feature, not a bug.

    “not for profit”

    amazing that wage slaves must subsidize their political and economics activities on top of all the state aid we provide

    Shell has a non profit part? Literally don’t believe it regardless wether they have the paper work to legally state such thing. Its gotta be for profit with backdoors or they wouldn’t bother. No amount of good will tokens can fix the evil from their brand.

      A lot of major corporations have a non-profit that makes a bunch of grants in their name for PR purposes. In Shell’s case, they serve as part of the right-wing patronage machine.

        And then right wing gets to power and hands them a tax cut.

        Its what i said, they stink to much for PR to matter whats left is a non profit that is a long term for profit investment trough politics.

        I do appreciatie the technical explanation though. And i know there are plenty of corpos that pull that very same shit.
