I actually miss the days when corporations were 'if it makes money and government agents can't raid us, do it!' compared to the modern day where a lot of them are petty motherfuckers..
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.
I paraphrase it often, but it's difficult to convey the same point as the original without using C.S. Lewis' words themselves.
They actually believe it will make them money. They must be taught it will not.
Boycotts ain't enough, we need Destroycotts. Like the Woke Left's "mostly peaceful protests" or the Boston Tea Party, targeted at Woke corporate property
And with ESG, they may be right. Blackrock/Vanguard may very well be paying them a ton of other people's money to not do business with valid customers.
They must be taught it will not.
True, but it's also not that easy since, as mentioned above...often the customers are, well, no longer the primary customer. It's what makes ESG so insidious.
We can't have anything even resembling free market capitalism if the primary transaction isn't between customers and the goods/services provider.

Bring back corporate greed.
Corporate moralizing is a hellscape.

True, plus they are using our own 401ks to buy the world up from underneath us. It's pretty sick
