The worst corp I can think of is Nestlé, these pieces of shit have done a lot of environmental damage and have been known to engage or complicit in slavery.

Erasing Nestlé is like erasing the infectious boil on a human body.

What foul company would you erase for good and why?

    I don’t think removing a corporation from existence would fix anything. We have a capitalist system killing the planet that has been extended to basically every country on the planet thanks to U.S. hegemony (which thankfully is coming to an end)

    Blackstone inc.

    Private equity firm. Owns more than $1 trillion in residential properties. It also owns or manages around 250 property developers worldwide

    Making it disappear basically solves the world wide unaffordable housing crisis.

      All corporations are evil, but this one has a special place in my heart’s hell. Blackstone’s Invitation Homes robbed me of $3k and ruined my credit for years.

        What’s an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I’m not aware of all the nuances yet.

          It’s a shell corp they use to buy up all the residential housing in cities across the US, and with a nice name like Invitation Homes who would ever guess that they’re a multinational conglomerate? As long as you’re not renting you should be fine other than the fact that corporate rentals, ‘investment properties’, and Airbnb have cannibalized the housing market. Good luck.

    Alphabet and Meta.

    They have a stranglehold on the internet that should never have been allowed to develop in the first place.

    But reading the other replies I guess my kneejerk reaction is a bit egocentric. Surely others are more important because they fuck up people’s lives directly, not just via the internet.

        Amazon controls corpos.
        Meta controls the general population (FB: Mostly older gen, Insta: Both young and old, WA: Also both). They control the political voice which is IMO more important if you consider voices more important than subtle (or not so) lobbying.

    I’m deleting Palantir, I think. I want Peter Thiel and his toxic ideology gone, and deleting Palantir’s data and software would meaningfully set back the timeline of unlawful surveillance of the American public by our current administration.

    I know everyone always says Nestlé in threads like this but what are they still doing? What damage would you save by getting rid of them?

      Nestle is one of the largest “employers” of children on Earth. The practices they use for Chocolate farming alone are enough to vilify them permanently.

    Purdue Pharma and the entire Sackler family. I’ve witnessed so many horrible things done by Oxycontin-addicted people; knowing that Purdue and the Sacklers caused it all for pure greed makes me want to vomit my guts out.

      Societal drug abuse is indicative of so many systemic issues. It’s far beyond a shame that conservatives used ‘the war on drugs’ to attack minorities and political dissenters and enrich pharmaceutical companies instead of focusing on the roots of the issue.
