I don't think that's different from saying "most Elbonians are crooks, therefore I feel no remorse for fucking over Elbonians". Collective punishment isn't a good thing.
- minikites 7y agoThere's a difference between individuals and profit maximizing organizations.
- chillwaves 7y agoCorporations get to define themselves. They can also dissolve and reform. Can an "Elbonian" do the same? "Collective punishment" applied to a corporation is called a boycott and I see zero problem with consumers expressing their preference in this way. Zero.
- JadeNB 7y ago> "Collective punishment" applied to a corporation is called a boycott I think that's not the usual meaning of 'collective punishment'. I believe that term is usually applied when many people are subjected to punishment in retaliation for the deeds of one person (or of only a few), not when one person (or corporation) is subjected to punishment by many people.
- FussyZeus 7y agoCorporations are not entities born out of their control. They are constructed, deliberately, to maximize profit at a cost that does not exceed that profit. That's all. They are not people and they do not have any sort of rights, or at least they shouldn't.
