It's right there in the article.

The resolution called on BP to explain how its pursuit of rising oil and gas production aligned with a world shifting away from fossil fuels.

“The question is simple: how does BP plan to create value for shareholders as oil and gas demand declines?” said Mark van Baal, the founder of Follow This. “BP would rather antagonise its shareholders than answer it.”

That seems perfectly rational to me.

    Acts 2:43-47 NASB2020 [43] Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. [44] And all the believers were together and had all things in common; [45] and they would sell their property and possessions and share them with all, to the extent that anyone had need. [46] Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, [47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

    I guess I'm a dirty socialist for owning a Bible.

    Ahh, see this is actually the first real, reasonable response so far.

    Nowhere did I say I tolerated Nazis or Zionists. Y'all are hallucinating that.

    People are real quick to jump to conclusions. THAT is the reason why phrases like "death to X" or "kill all Y" tends to make more enemies than friends whenever you step outside of your little echo chamber. So don't come whining when you get stuck with a ban.

    Why do we not like Nazis/Zionists? Because they want to murder whole classes of people.

    So, tell me, how does murdering a whole class of people make you better than a Nazi/Zionist?

    There are better ways of achieving justice.

    You've rightly pointed out how ridiculous it all is, but don't underestimate the effects of tangible consequences. Hearing about the orange man's foolish actions is much more abstract than not being able to afford your next meal. You can ignore the former, but even the most extreme ignoramus has a hard time ignoring the latter...
