The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.

Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

    I wanted to say Meta but reading things like Nestlé reminded me there are other companies that are equally as bad.

    Now I wonder if Nestlé can be considered more evil than Meta because Meta influences the population on such a low level that it affects everyone.
    Thanks to those fuckheads at Meta (not the devs trying to make a living) Any developed country went so far right it’s almost unbelievable how fast it turned.

    I was also thinking Nestlé before I clicked through. They want to corner the market on water. WTF!

    So angry at Nestle and the time they killed all those African babies doesn’t even hit your highlight reel. I agree- we can do without Nestle.

    Blackstone inc.

    Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

    Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

      All corporations are evil, but this one has a special place in my heart’s hell. Blackstone’s Invitation Homes robbed me of $3k and ruined my credit for years.

        What’s an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I’m not aware of all the nuances yet.

          It’s a shell corp they use to buy up all the residential housing in cities across the US, and with a nice name like Invitation Homes who would ever guess that they’re a multinational conglomerate? As long as you’re not renting you should be fine other than the fact that corporate rentals, ‘investment properties’, and Airbnb have cannibalized the housing market. Good luck.

    Nestle, Shell, BP, prager U, PayPal (interac please), Uline, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, that dollar store brand.

    All of these have destroyed the environment, destroyed our democracy, or destroyed our small cities and towns.

      Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.

        ” should make it obvious what kinds of corporations I’m talking about: the kinds that are privately owned, including the ones on so-called “public” stock exchanges.

    All of them. Limit the size, ban acquisitions. Break up monopolies. They’ve never been good for everyone and just become exploitative.

    See Dutch East India company, the worst of the lot who was a corporation that had their own military. Learn from history so mistakes are not repeated again.

    Alphabet and Meta.

    They have a stranglehold on the internet that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place.

    But reading the other replies I guess my kneejerk reaction is a bit egocentric. Surely others are more important because they fuck up people’s lives directly, not just via the internet.

        Amazon controls corpos.
        Meta controls the general population (FB: Mostly older gen, Insta: Both young and old, WA: Also both). They control the political voice which is IMO more important if you consider voices more important than subtle (or not so) lobbying.
