Google's motto is "don't be evil"? Did it do it? So what about other companies that don't say no to evil?

After watching this documentary, I realized that the Fanta Orange I used to drink occasionally was originally exported to Nazi Germany by the Coca-Cola Company during World War II.

The punch card machine required for the massacre of Jews in Nazi Germany (there was no computer at that time, the punch card machine was used to record a large amount of data) recorded a large amount of personnel information. provided by IBM.

It is true that fascists kill countless

large companies and kill countless people, and the

difference between killing people without blood is that

the former is: I can shoot you at any time, and the
latter is: I am unhappy with you, and I drink chronic poison without your knowledge.

Irony The thing is, the latter can get legitimacy in a grand manner!

DDT, chemical plant sewage...

Fascists use lies to deceive the world, and big companies can control the media, control public opinion, and even control the government. Marketing! Branding!


Fascist 2.0?

Of course, the enumeration can go on

and on... So what about the situation in China?

What about the "public relations transaction" between a certain degree and a certain deer?

What about human rights violations in sweatshops?


When the media and the government become corporate puppets, can we fight it? Is the outlook bleak?

procession? demonstration? Gandhi-like "non-violent non-cooperation"?

This film has a lot to watch, the data and information are detailed and insightful, and it also interviewed public figures with social conscience such as Peter Drucker, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, Milton Friedman.

The Corporation quotes

  • Vandana Shiva: Fifteen corporations would like to control the conditions of our life, and millions of people are saying, "Not only do we not need you, we can do it better. We are going to create systems that nourish the earth and nourish human beings". And these are not marginal experiments. They are the mainstay of large numbers of communities across the world. That is where the future lies.

    Michael Moore: You know, I've often thought it's very ironic that I'm able to do all this and yet what am I on? I'm on networks. I'm distributed by studios that are owned by large corporate entities. Now, why would they put me out there when I am opposed to everything that they stand for? And I spend my time on their dime opposing what they believe in. Well, it's because they don't believe in anything. They put me on there because they know that there's millions of people that want to see my film or watch the TV show, and so they're gonna make money. And I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he make a buck off it. Well, I'm the rope. I hope. I'm part of the rope. And they also believe that when people watch my stuff, or maybe watch this film, or whatever, they think that, you know, they'll watch this and they won't do anything because we've done such a good job of numbing their minds and dumbing them down, you know. People aren't gonna leave the couch and go an do something political. They're convinced of that. I'm convinced of the opposite. I'm convinced that a few people are gonna leave this movie theatre or get up off the couch and go and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands.
