It wasn't just bigger names like Volkswagen it was also the chemical companies manufacturing Zyklon B, it was the ventilation company that made the air ducts for the gas chambers. So many little pieces of cooperation that were needed to create an atrocity.
There were also plenty of businesses in America (like Chase bank) that made the decision to enable the Nazis and profit from the opportunity. Chase Bank knew what they were doing, and their willingness to financially assist Nazi Germany helped keep the German economy afloat.
Obviously for Trump/ICE it would be Amazon, Palantir, Geo Group, and Core Civic. I would guess all Meta platforms like Facebook and IG, Reddit, Spotify, all the airlines and transportation companies arranging deportations.
There's been a few articles about the individuals and companies profiting most from helping the administration suppress free speech by selling tear gas and other forms of crowd control:
•The men making millions selling pepper spray to ICE
•Meet The Former Banker Who Is Now A Private Defense Billionaire
Also looks like in addition to CoreCivic and GeoGroup the administration is now bringing in some smaller companies to help build their warehouse concentration camps:
•Trump team picks little-known companies to spearhead turning warehouses into ICE mass detention centers
Basically any company big or small that is profiting off of the actions of this administration should be held accountable. Idk if anybody is keeping a single list, but we need one. A list of every deflection of responsibility and "They approached us, what were we supposed to do? Not take the offer? If it wasn't us it would have been somebody else."
We need a list like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust
Would be interesting to see a venn diagram showing involvement then and now bc I'm sure there's overlap.
