And we can be hopeful for companies to have solid principles where if they are accused of genocide that they reflect on their actions instead of firing, and hope for a future where that’s the expectation instead of apathy.

Don’t anthropomorphize companies. They don’t have principles. Companies are essentially nothing but incentive structures designed to maximize profits. You wouldn’t expect an algorithm or a machine to have principles so why would you expect that of a company?

Companies aren’t inanimate objects. They’re groups of people. They absolutely do have principles, it’s just for corporations those principles are usually “fuck everything besides money”.

Coops are companies that are worth championing in a capitalist setting, no? While money and capitalism is ever prevalent and seemingly necessary to interact with for survival, it’s good to have an option like a coop

Companies are not machines, nor algorithms, nor even just “incentive structures” devoid of humanity, regardless of their stated or actual purpose.
At their core, companies are ALWAYS groups of human beings, who have created that structure around the very principles you insist they don’t have, the primary principle being profit.
Algorithms don’t give a shit about money, nor do structures. But the people in them care a great deal. Enough to support genocide, which they individually, to a man, know is wrong, or they would not be trying so desperately to darvo this situation, to the point that they have the press ignoring that this protester’s email was her resignation. They didn’t fire her. She quit first.
Don’t normalize amoral behavior and group sociopathy.
