People are allowed to have a past, I don't see that it's that relevant to IKEA today.

  Indeed. Let’s talk about modern IKEA and it’s modern tax avoidance methods: https://medium.com/@jurgeng/ikeas-tax-scheme-a-corporate-structure-designed-to-facilitate-profit-shifting-and-tax-avoidance-798caf842fb6 https://medium.com/@jurgeng/ikeas-tax-scheme-a-corporate-str... and an extremely poor quality of their products. They are made from paper and breaks already during assembly.

    "Extremely poor quality". If that was remotely true why would they be successful? Millions of people are just dumb and just enjoy having shitty furniture and go back for more? Have you been to a real IKEA beyond the imagination of your anti-corporate dream?

  Any past transgressions or wrongthink will be weaponized against you or your legacy, and that past will never be forgotten or forgiven. Welcome to the new era of outrage based cultural purges.

  What does “allowed to have a past” mean? What a person does today can have long-lasting ramifications. If you decided to chop off your own hand, for some misguided reason, ain’t nobody ever growing you that hand back. The permission to “have a past” is not absolute.

    People are not born perfect. People do stupid stuff and post it on instagram when they're young, but people continue to grow and learn throughout their lives. What I'm saying is that I don't see any benefit to dragging up someone from the past's beliefs and putting them into an article next to the IKEA name, except to create a clickbaity article that serves someone else's interests in an obscure way.
