Nestle - check out some of why https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9 Its Jame Bond level villainy
Its Jame Bond level villainy
Quantum of Solace is about monopolizing a freshwater supply.
Amazon. Fuck Amazon and bezos.
DuPont, scourge of the Earth.
Incredible no one said it before considering the poisioned the entire world TWO times.
Singapore Air. The canceled our international return tickets, so were left stranded in Greece. They didn't tell us. They fucked it up so hard, and then they also weasled out of the compensation they're legally required to give us. They owe us over $5000 and they offered us $40. Unbeleiveble cunts. I actually hate the whole country now.
Unilever for polluting tonnes of plastic waste back in my home country, Indonesia. They can do better with single use plastic but they choose not to, pure greed and evil!
Hmmmm tough call.
Whichever pharmaceutical company(s) is hiking the price on insulin. The patent was fucking free, the product costs pennies to produce and distribute. No, 99.97% of the cost cannot be "R&D" for an old, mass produced drug.
Maybe also my old employer, which got laws passed to make them the only possible workers claim comp system in the state, then spun up a side business consulting for companies on how to use coding errors in medical billing to deny healthcare and compensation for people injured in their negligent and hazardous workplaces.
I mean, that is a whole level of evil I couldn't stoop to on my worst day.
I can't think of one I like nowadays.
Itaú, largest private bank in Brazil. Thanks to a 1995 law, all earnings from stock shares' dividends are tax exempt. They're always lobbying and pushing forward legislation to make the rich richer, to the point that they managed to found, together with other bankers, a political party, Novo, who fiercely defend libertarian economic values and sidestep individual liberties.
Second would be Microsoft. They took over the computer world in the 90s and didn't pay for their crimes. All they did was try and pretend nothing bad happened and that they totally wouldn't ever do anything similar again, pinkie promise. Nevermind the office2007 standard never fully working on alternative software, nevermind microsoft teams, pay no mind to them buying out github, nevermind their shit being inside pretty much every government around the world. They hold absurd amounts of power.
Third place goes to all non state owned petrol companies. Thank you for your continuous funding of bogus research against scientific climate facts and, more importantly, in funding assholes the world over to ensure climate change and global warming go full throttle. Fuck you with a hot exhaust pipe.
Apple.
There are worse companies, Google, Facebook, all oil companies, and Nestle, to name a few.
But with the exception of the original iPod with that sweet wheel interface, there's never been a single thing from Apple that looked appealing to me.
Edit: Oh and Amazon
Tyson foods. They raise, torture, and kill 40 million animals per week. There's probably no other entity in the history of our planet that's responsible for more total suffering.
all multi-billion dollar companies. pretty much not compatible with (quote mode) democracy (end quote mode)
Agreed on Meta. I quit Facebook years ago and refused to touch anything owned by them.
Besides the most obviously evil corporations everyone hates - Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, Nestle, etc?
I have a deeply personal grudge against Sega for how they repeatedly butchered my favorite series. I'm also carrying a grudge against Capcom for lying about SF5 on Linux, they posted that announcement and then just never mentioned it again, still to this day.
Nestle. I don't believe there's a single company that's been responsible for more evil in the world.
- Blackwater? Rank amateurs.
- Chiquita? A full level higher of malicious human rights violations, and worthy of execution. But still small game.
- De Beers? Hopefully someday a book will be published naming and shaming every executive and their families. Company and descendants should be stripped of all their wealth and used to restore the countries and cultures they've raped.
But Nestle tops the list, and a lot of the current execs should be lined up against the wall.
Most governments qualify, but they're not, technically, "companies," so I'm sticking to brands.
Everything Elon touches
Chick Fil A. Fuck you and your anti-gay, fake Christian bullshit.
Same for Hobby Lobby.
Comcast/Xfinity they only move into markets where they have little competition and don't properly service folks at the "end of the road" they will give you the run around for years until you bring up signal quality then they cancel your account saying they don't service your are.
Turbo tax. Never has there been a more useless organization propped up only by an even more useless law which they, themselves, lobbied to have put in place.
Nobody says Oracle??? It's hard to think of a company with more contempt for its customers.
