Much like ACAB, even "good" corporations are still fucking corporations.
Brand loyalty is a parasocial relationship.

We call their fans/enablers corpo's for plural and corpo for singular, right?
I get that it can be hard, due to nostalgia and what not to step out of those parasocial relationships. Yet you should
Because they didn't get there by playing fair all the way, and all the time. None have, none will.
@Aprazeth @alice honestly, brand loyalty feels weird though... I don't get what's hard about using corporations and their products as yools, either suited or unsuited to your current needs
(including the need to do minimum harm)
corporations are machines created to make money, and havingparasocial relationships with them is odd 
@OctaviaConAmore
For most people is not the corporation they develop that with - it is with their products. Especially nostalgia.
The brand and type of cookies wr got when visiting our friends/family when we were a kid. The instant noodles that were the only thing people could afford during tough times, and so on.
That all said: if the only thing people can afford is corporation owned, and they need it for survival: do not feel pressured or shamed to change until safe to do so
