230 GOP told SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade

Could've just stopped at ABC don't think.

Truthiness

[ibleed]

Couldn't they have just added in "woman" and saved themselves some trouble?

I think I need to find a way to worm my way into being a social media manager for some of these companies, because they clearly hire morons and it wouldn't be hard to look good.

That requires thinking. We all know that corporate media is incapable of this.

Plus, it fits right in eith the ABC hivemind with the left in that, if you aren't a raging leftist then you aren't black.

I certainly hope it wasn't intentional, but who the fuck knows anymore. Either way, get your shit together ABC.

Agreed. Which goes to the state of corporate press.

Hence why I get my news from fucking podcasts.... dear fucking god.

Okay, please tell me more about this leftist corporate media monopoly.

Okay, please tell me more about this leftist corporate media monopoly.

He's likely referring to their "left wing" social stances, which create the illusion that they care about the working class but is really just a cheaper way to keep them at bay than actually paying good wages. It's a clever ploy, and they are consistent in their messaging lately, but it's not because they actually believe the shit. These companies claim to care about the little guy and "diversity and equity™" until times get tough, and then they fire literally every single one of those people first.

Ding ding ding!

But to a leftist, corporatism and leftist ideals are mutually exclusive. Therefore, the idea of a corporate empire being aligned to the political left is like tryung to explain heiroglypics to a 4-year old.

I don't think it's quite that simple, though. You can't tell me that someone like Bobby Kotick is a dyed in the wool leftist just because he reads the statements his PR team and lawyer gives him, you have to look at their behavior. A lot of these people operate like ruthless capitalists and simply wear the garb of a man of the people. Honestly, I don't even know what I'd classify the executive class as politically at this point in time. They're definitely believers in the neoliberal model to some extent, but they'll even betray those values if it suits them. They're more like apolitical sociopathic free agents.

Disney pays pretty well from my experience.

I think it's pretty simple enough. Bobby Kotick is a perfect leftist in that he will say all the "correct" things, while at the same time doing all he can to profit off of the slave labor of the workers. He is basically the walking embodiment of any one of the pigs from "Animal Farm".

Reading what hookems wrote, this is your takeaway?

I guess I should be impressed that you are able to tie your shoes in the morning without managing to strangle yourself.

They’re the fucking asshole class.

There you go. But you understand that when you talk about leftist political philosophy, especially on the further ends of the spectrum, economic issues like the one you're referring to are at the forefront and he openly shits on all of their values. That's why I say these people exist in their own category and really don't match any of our commonly used labels. Left, right, middle, all they see is green and what gets them the most of it. Corporate wisdom in the modern day told these people that by embracing left wing social causes they could keep the poors at bay and deflect criticism of their shitty business practices, and a lot of liberals fell for it hook line in sinker and adopted them as their own. What they don't realize and will be forced to realize soon is, once word gets out that people hate all of that woke shit and being a dick is more popular, you're going to see the worst kinds of corporate abuse we've had in the last 100 years. Count on it.

I'd also just like to say that for people like Spartan who identify as being leftists but hate Democrats, claiming they support people that they want to see get forcefully neutered by angry crows is offensive.
