So far, I’ve only heard of nation-states committing atrocities whose gov’t officials end up in the Hague…
How about companies, whose CEOs and stockholders have a role in committing such large scale crimes who deserve the wall?
Edit: Bonus points if you include a death toll…
From what I’ve read on wikipedia’s Nestle
In a 2018 study, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) estimated that 10,870,000 infants had died between 1960 and 2015 as a result of Nestlé baby formula used by “mothers in [low and middle-income countries] without clean water sources”, with deaths peaking at 212,000 in 1981.[47]
Petronas, the Malaysian oil company, funded war crimes in Sudan.
DuPont: funded climate change denialism, Cancer Alley
Ford: Henry Ford was of course a Nazi, and they produced military equipment for Nazi Germany using slave labor.
De Beers: started by Cecil Rhodes (Rhodesia guy) and built on African slave labor.
Krupps. Today they make coffee machines, back in the day they used concentration camp slave labor to make Hitler’s artillery pieces.
Nestlé is known for many misdeeds, such as promoting unhealthy products, using slave labor, demanding Ethiopia its pay debts to the company during a famine, extracting large amounts of water for commercial purposes in drought areas, union-busting, promoting deforestation.
Condemning it was mainstream 15 years ago, nowadays I think it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to get a yesmen army like Elon Musk has. 😌
Name an oil company and you’ll more likely than not read about one of the enviro-cidal fucky-wuckies that they legally weasel out of and laugh all the way to the bank to repeat the process
pick basically any german company
