    Honestly, this is better.

    Corporations, especially publicly traded corporations are amoral. Sociopaths. If they could make moar money murdering you painfully, they would every time.

    When they give to charity, they donate 100k to the charity and spend 3 million advertising they gave 100k to charity, as it’s a marketing ploy.

    They don’t see poors as human, regardless of identity, you are livestock to them. I like my sociopath capitalists out in the open. They’re even more dangerous when they convince you they have basic decency. They don’t. Sell your products and services, if I absolutely need it, I’ll buy it, if I don’t I won’t.

    But we’re half a century past the point of pretending the relationship between the oligarch capitalists and their labor consumers is a cordial, or even respectful one. I’ve long considered these campaigns to be patronizing to a cartoonish degree. They never gave a shit about trans or LGBT who aren’t also affluent. They also don’t care about the hate speech they’re condoning, they just put on whatever false face they believe will maximize profit.

    It doesn’t have to be like this, but this is what our economy rewards, sociopathic greed. We’d have to change the shape and priorities of our economy to reward prosocial behaviors and vocations, and punish individualistic greed based vocations, if we wanted that to change. That would require painful revolution as our government is completely captured, and we’re sadly too chickenshit.
