    Yeah, I’m also kinda surprised cuba apparently allowed them to operate there? There are few companies that more thoroughly exemplify the imperialist state than those two.

      Nestlé? Amazon? HSBC? The fucking VOC?

      Come on, there are a lot of evil companies but it’s crazy to pretend Visa and Mastercard are somehow the worst of them.

        All of them, as long as their only reason to exist is to chase profit above anything else

        … The dutch east india company hasn’t been relevant for more than 200 years, but like fair enough. If you want to have “capitalist megacorp fightclub” that could absolutely be one of those few I mentioned. I’m gonna defend that “the primary architects of the global financial transaction system” are good entries onto the list though…
