I kind of thought corporations aren't allowed to murder people but at this point I don't know anymore.

Murdering people has been a normal part of corporations for a long time, but they generally do it to union organizers in the developing world.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

Let's be fair, they do it everywhere. They do it more in the developing world, but it's not exclusive there.

In America it used to be you could just bribe your governor and they'd deploy the national guard to kill striking worker's families like the Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair mountain.

Ludlow Massacre and the Battle of Blair mountain.

It blows my mind how blatantly these events are not taught to anybody. Never forget.

[–] remus989@sh.itjust.works 20 points 9 months ago

They're clearly allowed to do whatever the fuck they want.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

I mean, there have been several huge instances of mass murder by corporations. Go look into the US’ history with strikebreaking and you’ll see just how bad it used to be. At least Boeing is trying to pretend it was a suicide, instead of just blatantly firebombing him in his own home.

I don't think they are allowed. But I think they do it.
