You are right. But in this instance their "doing nothing" is actively supporting the proactive destruction of our environment. |
"Actively supporting" would be the wrong phrase to describe the behaviour of most corporations out there ...
If Sony or any other corporations wanted to be 'proactive' about destroying the environment then they'd do it by breaking the law such as producing/using CFCs which are widely banned substances but as far as I'm concerned anything else that is not a part of a consensus or against it is fair game to ignore because nonaction doesn't necessarily mean that a business is taking a political stance ...

False. It effects everything on this planet. |
This is pretty much exactly the stance that only fringe doomsayers would have ...
Even by most pessimistic predictions, there's still more than 500+ years left before Earth becomes uninhabitable for human life ? (arguably way more than that, closer 100+ million years realistically)

They represent a large portion of the people... And because of such will drive politicians and companies to have greener mandates. |
They still aren't anywhere near close to being the 'mandate' so they'll pretty much still be a fringe group in the forseeable future ...

Who gives a crap? Sony are a company, they can do whatever they desire, if you don't like the approaches they take with something... You are entitled as a consumer to take your business elsewhere. |
Sure we can do that but that doesn't nullify my point that acting more politically than necessary is harmful and it gets especially bad if every corporation is doing it ...
Having a world based on ideological division is negatively impactful ...
| Pemalite said:
Again. If a western society is so fragile that a company making greener initiatives is cause for it's collapse, that society should fail. |
What happens if it's more than just about being green and that every company starts doing it ?
That is my main concern and Sony heading in that direction is a slippery slope ...
| Pemalite said:
I never said anything should be modeled after Turkey or Russia, making this tangent redundant. |
No but having politics infect everything would lead to a semi-ruinous world like those I listed as examples ...
Is that a system you idealize even if it means politically persecuting those who would go against the green group's interests ?
| Pemalite said:
It does set a good example if Sony can profit from it and help out the planet whilst they are at it. |
That's the thing, Sony probably doesn't profit from it. They 'gain' in political ways by brainwashing the public in following the ideology they want ...
Not good to see every corporation becoming some arm for a political party. News corporations are plenty toxic enough as it is so how would you like it if Microsoft or some other big influential corporation effectively coalition with the republicans on every stance including being anti-LBGTQI or being a climate change 'denier' ...
| Pemalite said:
Nah. |
It sure does mean banning as much hydrocarbon extraction as possible which means that factory/plants/industry will stop running for the most part!

The Unions have done some good for the average worker. Especially in my own nation. |
I don't think I meant a 'union' as in a "workers union" but I meant 'union' as in a "political union" ...
Just about everyone is pro-industrialist and if the greens can't handle their needs been subdued in favour of public welfare then they should 'exit' this 'union' if they want to enact their own policies because an industrialists idea of 'progress' is largely not compatible with the greens idea of what 'progress' is ...
