> if you are a big multinational company you can literally get away with murder
Pepsi's cockups are no doubt the catalyst of the events that unfolded but can you say that they are responsible for someone murdering someone else during what happened? are any actions the protestors undertake in anger the responsibility of Pepsi?
- Retric 6y agoShared culpability is a common thing in the law. A get away driver is not directly robbing a bank, but they still go to prison.
- duxup 6y agoI think that's way too distant a comparison. Pepsi made a mistake that disappointed some folks, nobody lost anything because of what Pepsi did directly, Pepsi wasn't assisting anyone in committing a crime, they weren't out to commit a crime / help anyone commit crime like you describe.
- tifadg1 6y agonot the same as a get away driver is still part of the organised action. I would say a better, or atleast much more controversial example is this - you cannot hold BLM movement responsible for the people that loot and burn, for exactly the same reason pepsi isn't accountable - because these actions (promises made -> not delivered -> riot started) are causated, but they are not correlated.
