"Asking why corporations are woke is like asking why Hispanics tend to have two arms ..." richardhanania.substack.com/p/why-is-every…
... "Corporations are woke, meaning left wing on social issues relative to the general population, because institutions are woke. So the question becomes why are institutions woke?"
... "... how bad people want something to happen ..." is a nice Gnon-slip.
... Rightists tend to have a religion, whilst Leftism is a religion?
... "Imagine a pyramid with voters at the bottom and full-time activists on top, and as you move up the pyramid it gets much narrower and more left-wing. Multiple strands of evidence indicate this would basically be an accurate representation of society."
... "The discussion here makes it hard to suggest reforms for conservatives. Do you want to give government more power over corporations? None of the regulators will be on your side. Leave corporations alone? Then you leave power to Woke Capital ..."
... "Conservatives may tell themselves that they are the normal people party, too satisfied and content to expend much time or energy on changing the world. But in the end, the world they live in will ultimately reflect the preferences and values of their enemies."
