Decades from now these companies will be lumped in the same bracket as all those American companies that did business with the Nazis
The ones that are old enough, did business with nazis
IBM (Red Hat) for example
They literally brought Nazis to go to the moon. I don't think being a Nazi is a deterrent in the USA. So it doesn't really matter if they're lumped with the wrong side of humanity. IBM, GM, Ford, Chase are still big names.
For the rest of the world, they would be whitewashed and portrayed as innovators and at worst rebranded under a different name.
No consequences, No regrets.
Businesses will always side with fascists, because fascism is the last bastion of capitalists to retain control of the state and preserve capitalism.
US companies and industrialist funded and collaborated with the fascists because they were always fascist to begin with. So more accurately the US has always been proto-fascist and has been openly fascist since the word was coined. There is no decades from now unless you are in denial.
