    Have you noticed that americans are so indoctrinated that when they have to choose a big evil company to rant about (up until recently) it’s usually Nestle, a non-US company.
    While they had plenty ones at home that are far worse.
    They don’t even realize how they get nudged and primed to direct their anger away from their own criminal multinationals.

      What a weird complaint. Do you have a better example for what they’re describing? I think Nestle is one of the best examples they could have used. They’re one of ten food megacorps and FAMOUSLY shitty.

      Americans bring up nestle because they bring up the most local company they know of (brandingwise) that is doing shady shit nearby.

      Nestle is involved in a major water extraction operation in california (largest pop US state) where some towns have been rationing water for years. Its one of the most cynical, evil things being done by a heavily branded corporation that USians can see.

      I’d probably mention microsoft or uber first but I don’t live in a city with water rationing.
