Jack Dorsey is absolutely an enemy, but it's doubtful he actually had the power to stop Twitter from becoming what it is. If he had tried to allow correct pronouns for troons, he would have been canceled and forced to step down.
Twitter went public in 2013. There is no way he would have been allowed to remain as CEO if he pushed back on people such as Vijaya Gadde.
Spez: Some examples of canceling CEOs: John Gibson, CEO of Tripwire Interactive, removed for tweeting support of Texas abortion ban; John Schattner, founder of Papa Johns Pizza, removed for saying nigger on a conference call; Brendan Eich, CEO of Mozzila, removed for donating to a campaign against gay marriage.
This. I went to a tech conference where Alexis Ohanian and Brent Herd were headliners. The whole conference was about how to get different rounds of funding. Basically... how to sell your tech company. These "founders" don't really own their companies very long, and have to sway with the investors to keep their position. Yes, Jack is to blame, but it would have happened without him.
The bourgeoisie is propertied, local, attenuated, and independent. The proletariat is propertyless, national or even international, expansive, and dependent. The bourgeoisie's power was fundamentally rooted in ownership and domination of physical space, while the proletariat is subject to whims and approval of the indivual or organizations that employ them.
The bourgeoisie no longer exists. Even physical real estate that is nominally owned requires yearly payments and government approval to develop, which is more akin to a lease. The modern managerial class, to which founders/CEOs belong, is a proletarianized elite. Larry Fink and his ilk are no less subject to this fact, as his power is derived from managerial control of assets that he fundamentally does not own; it is the collective property of the individual investors and organizations who have entrusted him with managing their capital, in other words the People.
We live in a world where the People own the means of production under a dictatorship of the proletariat.
The "trans lobby" is just the mask that the deep state wears. Im willing to bet they'd have done something worse to him than cancelling if he didnt obey
I think the biggest factor is people's refusal to adopt new technology, which led to post-industrialization, which led to death of communities, which led to most of the issues faced in the world today.
You take an enlightened view. We can hate on Dorsey for being a creepy soy faggot all we want but at the end of the day he, his god forsaken platform and our decaying civilisation are only the result of ideas and processes taken to their logical ends.
Mandating "correct" pronoun usage is separate from the technical and business reasons why twitter isn't an open standard/protocol like email or IRC. Jack Dorsey absolutely had the authority to mandate twitter be an open platform, but then his company would have been less attractive to VC firms and may never have gone public. He wanted to maximize his chances of a big payout, so that's the choice he made. That's not a "capitalism" problem; that's a "Jack Dorsey" problem.

Papa John was removed for saying nigger in a non racist context.
The left doesn't care about context until it's their head on the chopping block.

Yep. Can't blame the individual priests for what the whole structure is designed to promulgate.
