> I don’t agree with the statement that corporations are machines to absorb money, behind corporations there are people and people must have morale.
replyThis is covered by the principle of the diffusion of responsibility. One person may have morals but spread over many, the entire structure does not. Those corporations that do have morals are outcompeted by those that don't, in terms of amount of money made, so over time corporations that are not moral do better.
I hope time and good people/consumers will prove your theory wrong.
replyActually, over time they prove it right. I'm sure smaller companies back in the 1800s needed to be nice to their customers as they are likely neighbors or well known in the town or state, but now with multinational companies, there is no hope of them ever being nice to their customers.
replyIt feels different because as horrible as other conflicts are they at least have a military objective. For example Russian invasion of Ukraine is horrible but I can see some strategic purpose to it for Russia. Gaza just feels like a Genocide.
replyIt's ridiculous that the person that replied to you got flagged for pointing out the deaths that happened on Oct 7th that started this war. Either have a discussion or don't.

replyGetting flagged for providing facts is a form of hecklers veto. In other words it’s assholes trying to bury a truth they are weak against.

replyThat is unrelated to whether or not Israel has a clear military objective in this war (it obviously does)
replyThe rest of us just see genocide, which is why they are deliberately killing journalists.
