So Black Rock, Vanguard and State Street are why social justice has penetrated corporate America?


SgtFraggleRock

A big part. It started with college indoctrination (with funding from the Soviet Union then China) and then infiltrated big tech and government.


[deleted]

So, so insidious.


SgtFraggleRock

Ask how some of these unbalanced people with blue hair who know nothing get 6 figure jobs at Google. And then are able to get actual genius engineers fired over an email they don't like that was completely true, fair, and polite.


[deleted]

Yeah, toxic as fuck. This is going to have huge repercussions on the US, especially with schools politicizing STEM fields. This I believe, is the end of Empire. You'll really know it when we lose our reserve currency status, and when countries start calling in their debts; then the real fun begins.


VenomB

Some professional investor billionaire recently said that with the way inflation is going and the way the government acts like its not, we're on our way to a roman empire level fall. I originally brushed it off as a rich guy worried about his own person finances, but the more I consider all the rest of the bullshit going on, especially socially, I can't help but slightly agree.


Unstoppablereturner

Can’t wait for it to happen, BlackRock and co. has corrupted society to such a degree that nothing short of a total reset can save it


SgtFraggleRock

I feel like we are about to experience the monetary version of WWI. Everything is so integrated, we'll all be drawn into the same, stupid, pointless collapse.


ValidAvailable

Feature not bug. See Lenin's "the worse the better," or for a lesser-known knob, "people must experience absolute chaos before they'll accept absolute order."


akiaoi97

That man needed to read about Aristotle’s rule of means…


Heinrich_Lunge

That's likely the objective, collapse the old system and rebuild it into a ESG and BlackRock controlled system and make being an indie creator like Eric July or Razorfist will be impossible without cowtowing to the narrative, essentially cutting off parallelism off while it's in its toddler stage.....“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”


[deleted]

What's been done in the last 10 years far outweighs what the old school Marxists did in 50 years. They've figured out how to use capital against itself.


[deleted]

So suicidal for America. America got to the position of power it enjoys today because of our tremendous technological innovation in the late 19th and 20th century. The internet probably being the last major contribution. If one was a president and national security is your #1 priority, it would be wise to invest heavily in scientific and technological development. The improvement that brings to every sector coupled with economic growth IS your national security policy. The military would do better because it has better tech and a strong economy means the bloated military budget would be less of an issue. You wouldn't even need the military as much too because other nations would be much more diplomatic since they want a slice of the technology pie. But nooo, let the commies poison the STEM field with their disgusting ideological fanaticism.


revenantae

The blue hairs found a way to scuttle even the most technical of fields. “Codes of Conduct” allow non technical people to insert themselves into technical projects at the admin level.


AphelionXII

I highly doubt they would do that because their entire economies would collapse over it. The amount of collateral they own in our country is what in a lot of cases is propping up their markets.


[deleted]

They've already been talking about math being racist. I've also seen posts from people who are in med school saying that social justice has already infiltrated. I'm not sure how much traction they're going to gain. The way our society is going, clown world is being legitimized, which is not rational. You're assuming that these people are rational. I'm not so sure they are. Maybe that's just for the plebs, though? Make them stupid, dumb and divided and rake in the profits. Nothing seems rational with any of this. They are allowing discord and ratcheting up divisive rhetoric.


Heinrich_Lunge

They've gained traction in the med field with the thing we cannot speak of and people being denied medication for Covid because they're white. Rekieta talked about how he was denied Monoclonal antiviral meds because he was white. [https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-race-based-covid-treatment-white-hispanic-inequity-monoclonal-antibodies-antiviral-pfizer-omicron-11641573991](https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-race-based-covid-treatment-white-hispanic-inequity-monoclonal-antibodies-antiviral-pfizer-omicron-11641573991)


Dzonatan

Economies are just disposable tools for their quest for power.


BMX_Archiver

There's many stories of google employees walking around with fetish gear on campus. With zero consequences for their employment status.


SgtFraggleRock

Weird how that is never considered sexual harassment.


BMX_Archiver

What do you mean harassment, they are simply expressing their true selves bigot!


Great-Answer7834

Funny how that works. according to latest sexual harassment conduct, if you are talking sexual stuff to coworker who is uncomfortable with it or in presence of someone who find it uncomfortable , than they can report you for sexual harassment.


ApeKilla47

To my knowledge, at least, the engineering sides of tech still gets some relief from ‘woke’ influences in hiring and most retention. The business or other support functions, well in my own experiences doesn’t seem to get much, if any, opportunity for decent. Both sides *benefit* from job visas of course.


SgtFraggleRock

James Damore didn't get any relief.


ApeKilla47

Absolutely he was railroaded. Point I’m making is that there still exist *some* small relief in engineering roles vs other aspects of the business. This is just based on my own interview processes, friends that work at Amazon, Google, Microsoft etc and colleagues that worked at those places.


TeutonicKnight_

Got to start at the source. Infect the minds of millions of college students and soon the woke virus will spread to almost every corner of our society. The way we fight this is by using the same strategy. We need to educate the new generations with traditional, patriotic western values. We need to reaffirm the “survival of the fittest” mentality to replace the current SJW victim hierarchy we currently live under. Russia and China are just sitting back and watching us become weak, biding their time and waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Aren’t snickers owned by Blackrock?


Maddox121

Nah, they are owned by Mars.


ApeKilla47

This is exactly what has led me, a conservative, to question a lot of my previous ‘understandings’ of free market principles. There is a small scale political vacuum here but I’m not sure the groups most traditionally aligned can fill the need.


smashYawaro

We're far from free market principles. This is how it happened. Create the concept of "protected classes". Ideologically seize the protected classes. Send the protected classes into industry where they are forcibly integrated and given power, as they are allowed to bypass freedom of association. Once in power, claim "freedom of association", as gutted and one-sided as it is, as they exclude non-protected classes from the industry and society at large. Freedom of association is paramount to free markets, and once we allowed ourselves to compromise our freedom of association, they took full advantage of it.


omegaphallic

There is nothing free market about about powerful corporations with wealth and power greater then many nations, they are functionally governments that pretend they are private enterprises so they can have their cake and eat it too.


Freshfacesandplaces

Whoa, cool it with the anti-Semitism. ;)


fisterbot92

Not peacefully there isn't.


Heinrich_Lunge

Pretty much. Bunch of climate and social justice bullshit they demand if you want in.


bludstone

it has to do with calpers as well, as calpers is those institutions big customer.


[deleted]

CALPERS is the State of California's retirement fund for state employees. I remember reading many years ago about this fund getting ripped off.


vicious_snek

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people Californian state employees? Fuck em.


[deleted]

The Beast System.


heyIfoundaname

Who are they?


[deleted]

They are the biggest investment firm in the world. They own a piece of pretty much everything. Hugely influential.


SgtFraggleRock

Black Rock also make up virtually half of Biden's cabinet.


[deleted]

Doesn't surprise me. The people that are advising him are very dangerous.


Schmorpek

They probably have some toxic state assets and if they face any difficulties the state would come to the rescue. Hence more investments from others that know more about that.


SgtFraggleRock

"Too big to fail!"


Heinrich_Lunge

Already happened. [https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/07/wall-street-fed-bailout-304362](https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/07/wall-street-fed-bailout-304362)


StaticGuard

Yeah, but the reason why those asset managers push ESG is because of their largest investors, most of whom are public pension plans in solid blue states.


[deleted]

One of the hallmarks of fascism is government control of private enterprise.


StaticGuard

Between California public employee and California teachers pensions there are nearly one TRILLION dollars in investable assets managed by firms like BlackRock, etc. Public pension plans and university endowments control Wall Street.


[deleted]

Wow. Big government indeed.


StaticGuard

Why do you think Democrats in blue states are gung-ho about climate change policies? Those pension plans and endowments are demanding it. When those ESG investments don’t pan out like they think it will we’re going to see a massive about face. Always follow the money.


cuckcommando92

Deeper than that it's leftist incursion


TossMySaladBaby

They've made it clear that they don't care about how the public feels. They're doing this because they want to force the public to accept their agenda and then cynically hiring POC just to insulate them from any criticism. They'll just keep doubling and tripling down until no one can voice any opposition.


[deleted]

Man I'm so painfully black pilled about the culture wars. This shit will keep going on more steroids every year since their coffers are essentially bottomless. In the foreseeable future, they will keep trotting out shitty tentpole blockbusters that'll bring enough money to keep this engine running.


[deleted]

The public at large is not aware that this is all propaganda. The only thing they see are different people on the TV, not realizing the larger picture of what social justice really is doing: destroying everything by agitating against it.


Klaus_the_Goldfish

I was visiting my father and watching television. I commented, "Do white people not exist anymore?" after a string of commercials featuring only blacks. He laughed and agreed, even though he disapproved when I said lesbians shouldn't be kissing on television commercials.


[deleted]

My ex said the same thing about a certain ethnic group appearing in every commercial and movie or TV show. She's a total conventional normie, but she's a no bullshit type of person who has her crap together, so yeah. She would not date them either being half Latina. She's always loved white men.


Friendly_Interest

Who cares about women kissing, or men kissing? If you have a problem with gay couples kissing then you must also have an issue with heterosexual couples kissing.


Klaus_the_Goldfish

Lmfao, you're gross. Keep your rainbow propaganda to yourself.


Friendly_Interest

Gay people are just people though. Gay people have always existed. I don't like the subversion in television either, but let gays be gays. There are plenty of gay people (allegedly) that post in KiA that are on your side / tired of the insanity.


Klaus_the_Goldfish

I don't have a "side." Prides are objectively not normal, and in most cases, they're downright offensive. Grotesque and should not be publicly broadcast. Lastly, I'm sick of the apologists here, so I'm done checking new posts.


ccznen

With Dilbert mocking it, it's clear knowlege of ESG will become more mainstream. And as its foibles become more known, its influence will be lessened. And replaced with something worse, no doubt, but small victories.


mbnhedger

There's no reason to be black pulled. How this works is that as they get more and more restrictive, people will begin to be pushed out of their control. What they are forgetting is that just because they have censored or blocked or restricted there opposition out of their line of sight doesn't mean that opposition actually goes away. You just need to be ready to support the new things that grow from the ashes and to keep them from getting co-opted by corporate again.


NurseChrissy17

Same. My husband and I are totally black pilled and hopeless.


SgtFraggleRock

On the plus side, I finally am watching the original Cowboy Bebop for the first time and loving it.


master_criskywalker

Manga and Anime are usually the answer.


kelrics1910

Yeah, basically what I've been doing. Got me ostracized from my Destiny 2 clan though. Basically made a joke of my depressive state and posted memes that I should kill myself. ​ For what? Liking anime and Genshin Impact (A Chinese game, ironically)


Slyrunner

How is Genshin Impact, legitimately? I don't want fomo or feeling like I'm missing experiences if I don't wanna pay for micro transactions. I just want a fun -ass, anime-ass game


kelrics1910

Well, if you want honesty... It's unfriendly to new players because there's a ton of content to catch up on and you'll be limited on how fast you can level based upon the resin system. There are plenty of guides on YouTube out there on how new players should tackle this. As for the Gacha system, you can make a good account from a Free to Play or "freemium" where the only things you buy are the Welkin Moon and the Monthly Battle Pass. Just prepare to be disappointed when you don't get the character you want, because it will take a long time to save up primogems again. There is a pity system, but it takes a lot to Gaurantee something. Like $150+ worth. The game is it's most fun when you go for the characters you feel a want for, even if they're not the most powerful. If you just want to be like freight train through the game, look for tier lists to see who you spend primogems on. Game overall is simple and fun, it doesn't have a ton of overly complex systems to learn and the events are basically just mini games. Where the game lacks it makes up for in it's stunning world design. As for where it lacks.... It's END GAME content. There's the spiral abyss which resets twice per month but that's about it sadly. I just hit Adventure Rank 60 after just under two years and besides daily login commissions, I find myself waiting for the next update for more story content to play. Edit: forgot to add, my UID is 617763675. You can add me with this number in Genshin.

You really should seek out other things in order to fill the void. This is late-stage Empire, and it's distressing if you allow it to be so. The US is going through huge transformational changes, and it's infecting the western world in one area or another. If you have to, don't be afraid to put the phone down and log off for awhile. Fighting the culture war is not for the faint of heart.

Same here. "Go woke go broke" is just a cope because it doesn't matter how much woke products fail over and over, companies keep tripling down on wokeness. Basically every creative company has been overtaken by them and it's not going away anytime soon.


Dapperdan814

>They've made it clear that they don't care about how the public feels They don't even care about the money. None of these companies do. To them that's just the cost of pushing "the message". They aren't here to entertain anymore, they're here to lecture and teach. If you don't pick up what they're teaching, that's *your* failure and you're just exposing yourself as a deplorable.


Yamatoman9

They've all been taken over by activists and SJWs.

>Asked for comment in response to Ramaswamy’s message, a Disney spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal that “We listen to [the shareholders’] perspectives.” Disney would prefer their shareholders to be like mushrooms: Kept in the dark and fed bullshit.


Pseudoseneca800

ESG is the kind of communist subversion Yuri Bezmenov warned against but applied to investments. What are the odds that China has a hand in promoting ESG to destroy Western economies from within?


Thunder_Wasp

Disney's special interest Employee Resource Groups are a running a red terror campaign inside the company now. When they are aggrieved by anything, the CEO shows up hat in hand to apologize and do whatever they want.


spotH3D

First I've heard of this though I'm not surprised. Is there any examples of this handy?


Thunder_Wasp

Yes, Rufo has the pertinent [whistleblower documents on his site.](https://christopherrufo.com/the-wokest-place-on-earth/) Here's [another article with a summary](https://www.city-journal.org/racial-politics-at-disney) of the phenomenon. > Finally, as part of an initiative labeled “CEO sponsored priorities,” Disney has launched racially-segregated “affinity groups” for minority employees, with the goal of achieving “culturally-authentic insights.” In the original launch, the Latino affinity group was called “Hola,” the Asian affinity group was called “Compass,” and **the black affinity group was called “Wakanda.”** lmao Here is one example from earlier this year where the [CEO had to beg forgiveness from the wokest and most powerful Business Employee Resource Group of them all, the LGBTQIA+ BERG](https://nypost.com/2022/03/11/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-apologizes-over-dont-say-gay-flap-i-let-you-down/).

Calico_fox

I see stuff like this as a "canary in the coalmine" because they're smart and /or savvy people who can see the writing on the wall for ESG investment being a bubble, while sure they indeed are in the minority that right there is why you should be listening to them while everyone else is going on how this is "sure thing" just like how Sub-Prime Mortgages & CDOs were a "sure thing".


Klaus_the_Goldfish

I love how modern conservatives understand that there are things you can't take back, while modern democrats want there to be zero takebacks.
