Sorry, yes, I agree - both the evildoers, and figures of authority that enable their behavior, deserve scorn and derision. I didn't mean to say that entities actually doing bad things don't deserve shame.
The point that I'm trying to make is that, while evildoers will always exist, we don't have very much agency over their actions. You don't have very many options over the actions of a bad company (or person) - but you do have the ability to hold your representatives accountable and protest and vote against them if they don't make good laws and enforce them.
So, even though evil companies/people should be shunned, at the very least we know that there's always going to be some of them around - but our representatives are ostensibly acting in our bests interests, and have more responsibility, power, and accountability than the bad actors, so we should focus on them instead.
That is - the same amount of energy applied to our representatives will do far more good than applied to bad companies.
