    Companies aren’t real, they’re just people organized into a collective, and people do have ethics.

    And contrary to Internet wisdom, corporations do not have a legal obligation to pursue profit at all cost.

    One might ask what the point of spreading that particular lie was.

        Sure. But I find it strange that people act like those evil fucks are a faceless building and not individuals you can point to and say, “Hey, no, it’s that guy, he enslaved those kids.”
