They are doing marketing. I feel many companies are reading lemmy and try to gauge sympathy and market reputation.

Klarna pr marketing if you are reading, i hope you get explosive spray diarrhea.

Thatโ€™s why shitting on them is never enough. Corporations are not people, bullying is fair game.

Corpo inherently is a threat actor no matter the context.

Employment or customer relationship... Doesnt matter. It is an enemy

But some how propaganda got these peasants simping against their self interest.

I think it's called blind actionism. But I feel (your) strong words won't help here. People need to be educated. And it's not like they have a good option to pick. The options with payment providers are mainly: bad and worse. But you should be aware once you sign a contract with the devil...

Cash, debit, credit, and then loan shark.

Klarna is a loan shark.
