How is it rational? What's going to stop a different We Stop Really Bad Guys NGO from showing up next. Corporations are perfectly capable of not getting involve

  when people say "it's rational" they're invoking this feature of rationality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_rationality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounded_rationality in other words, if you see behavior in others that doesn't seem reasonable, there's two possibilities: 1. it makes sense to the subject, using the axioms they're reasoning from, which they've chosen because they have a stake in the outcome 2. an uninvolved, anonymous commenter on the internet knows -- better than the subject -- what's best for them It's not always the case that (1) is correct, but it's the better prior than (2). And this fact being a downvote magnet here doesn't change that.
