Corporations such as ExxonMobil and Blackstone also big funders of climate crisis, new trade union report finds
Some of the world’s largest companies have been accused of undermining democracy across the world by financially backing far-right political movements, funding and exacerbating the climate crisis, and violating trade union rights and human rights in a report published on Monday by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC).
Amazon, Tesla, Meta, ExxonMobil, Blackstone, Vanguard and Glencore are the corporations included in the report. The companies’ lobbying arms are attempting to shape global policy at the United Nations Summit of the Future in New York City on 22 and 23 September.

No fucking shit. Large corporations only care about one thing profit. If democracy, the climate, labor rights, or anything else gets in the way of profits; then fuck those concepts. Profit must rule over everything.
Line. Must. Go. UP!!!
The solution is to force them to care through blackmailing and arrests without any due process.
I heard about this French invention that’s excellent for quisine! I’m hungry. When do we eat?
If corporations are people, we should be able to hang them for treason.
Can’t hang a company. A CEO, though…
Having said that, everyone should behave, not at all calling out for violence, but people should start pressing their governments to directly hold CEOs responsible, criminally where needed
Fuck that, get violent. Revolutions are never bloodless.
Uh huh, so are you okay with YOUR blood flowing, or those that are near to you?
Because the types like you somehow always are okay with the blood of strangers flowing bit as soon as it’s their own ass on the line, it’s all excuses
I’m not really sure how to prove this in a Lemmy comment without doxing myself, so suffice it to say that yes, I would gladly lay down my life to defend my beliefs.
Or treat them like their far-right allies treat socialists.
So, what time’s the revolution? Wanna make sure I clear my calendar.
And when Lina Kahn and the FTC is taken to the Supreme Court, they will give the FTC the final blow to overthrow any sort of government sanction.
That is the plan, yes
The report cites Meta, the largest social media company in the world, for its vast role in permitting and enabling far-right propaganda and movements to use its platforms to grow members and garner support in the US and abroad.
yeah allowing free flow of information is bad for democracy…
in what kind of bizarro world do we live nowadays anyway
Yeah, what’s up with these governments and people who want to censor white supremacy, xenophobia, nazism and pedophilia? Let the information flow freely!

Don’t forget twitter.
This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.
