And we can be hopeful for companies to have solid principles where if they are accused of genocide that they reflect on their actions instead of firing, and hope for a future where that's the expectation instead of apathy.
Don't anthropomorphize companies. They don't have principles. Companies are essentially nothing but incentive structures designed to maximize profits. You wouldn't expect an algorithm or a machine to have principles so why would you expect that of a company?
Companies aren't inanimate objects. They're groups of people. They absolutely do have principles, it's just for corporations those principles are usually "fuck everything besides money".
Coops are companies that are worth championing in a capitalist setting, no? While money and capitalism is ever prevalent and seemingly necessary to interact with for survival, it's good to have an option like a coop. Or actually an open source based coop.
