This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'd mention KTM, but I wouldn't be shocked if you were also racist against Indians so how about ExxonMobil poisoning the living shit out of various South American countries and literally having people suing them thrown in prison?
Honestly: Fuck off with your own prejudices if you want to correct mine.
Now to your example: Mentioning the US is cheating. :p
They are equally as bad.
We wouldn't want to be prejudiced against racists by assuming they're racist against other groups would we.
OK, Nestle. BP. Bayer.
Yep agreed. Fuck Nestle especially. And BP.
I have notging special with Bayer. But being pharma is already bad.
The point of this is to get you to examine why, while you are aware Europe-based companies also scam/cheat/steal, and have the wealth disparity between Europe and the global south to prove it, your instinct is that this is generally a Chinese or Russian phenomenon.
Btw, Bayer owns Monsanto and sells poisons illegal in Europe to the developing world, which cause all sorts of cancers in farmers and kill rainforest. I can also jusr direct you to literally every europe-based logging, mining, or other extractive industry that relies on the global south.
Didnt know the Bayer-Monsanto thing.
Thought monsanto was its own entitity.
They're also involved in the lebanese genocide by pissrael supplying them with glyphosate and white phosphorus, I guess because of the g*rmans natural disposition to commiting genocide.
