It's always interesting to see people talk shit about corporations and organizations as if these things are independent evils and not a community of humans doing evil together. Humans identify, decide, choose, and act.

Yeah "be gentle with people and harsh on systems"thing falls apart when you realize that systems are just a network of people and their relationships

Ya "don't hate the people that built and keep the system running" is a wild take to me lol

It is a successful construct though, that makes the evil easy. The corporate form is like the rope that swings them over to Terabithia.

Corporate and governmental systems give humans the excuse, but it's humans building and maintaining when they could choose to instead build something different. I agree though the corporate system seems well designed for the application of evil.

I’m absolutely not excusing it, you are right, but the structure works very well for what it is intended to do. I marvel at that bit. The innate inhumanity of a certain portion of humanity is a truth that we have poorly incorporated into almost any system we have built.

Oh ya, no i agree, like many forms of government, its very very good at segmenting decision, action, and analysis in ways that allow each group to justify and even incentives their pieces of the overall

I would suggest that even creating the nameless/faceless stockholders that the CEO/Board must appease creates a system top to bottom that pressures and incentives the behaviors nobody really wants at the end of the day; and so most often rewards those humans willing if not eager to do evil.
