    But they have to be rich, right? I’m interested in the criteria.

    What about a nation that supports a company who produces goods that allow the company to make profit, and the production of the goods harms people’s lives (e.g. pollution or poor working conditions in the production country). Somebody should police that nation. Maybe bomb the nation?

      In that case the people in charge need to be removed. The nation can redeem itself once the greed poisoned leaders are dealt with.

        But if the citizens didn’t fund the company’s greed, they wouldn’t exist. Plenty of examples of things people don’t need that they continue to buy, and support unethical business operations leading to harm.
