I hope he means back toward those companies, in which case he's exactly right.

You wouldn't treat a deranged serial killer with respect and courtesy. Why should poorly-behaved amoral corporations be treated as you would treat normal humans?

Corporations should be treated in accordance with their own behavior. The mom-n-pop shop down the street that uses an LLC for legal purposes and treats you like a valued customer? You should treat them with respect and kindness. The evil megacorp that tries to lobby for shitty laws to screw you over? You should screw them over too. (And alternatively, the big corporation that makes good products for decent prices and doesn't seem to be actively trying to blatantly harm society and twist things to their advantage with legal tricks or lobbying? You should treat them respectfully too.)
