How is this even possible? Is it because corporations are far more afraid of punishment from the democrats? (twitter.com)

Executives of all the largest companies operate in a very incestuous manner. They all go to the same conferences, they all sit on each other's boards, they went to the same high school together, grew up together, live in the same neighborhoods, get invited to the same dinner parties, etc...

Many people here know about the WEF and Klaus Scwab because of his prominence during covid-19 and the push for "globalism" but what many don't understand is just the extent organizations like WEF go in pushing their agendas and just how many of these organizations there are. It's not a conspiracy but a member of the Rothschilds will put on a conference and invite executives from the top 100 largest companies, at the conference they'll discuss all the "happenings" around the world and how to solve "global challenges". Then they'll have their selected speakers, men like Yuval Harari who'll come up and speak about a global issue. Of course, all the speakers are selected ahead of time specifically because it is already known they are going to say exactly what those who select the speakers want them to say. A specific agenda.

When executives are all at these fancy parties, they chat among one another and what's one thing no executive wants to be? No executive wants to be regarded as the black sheep, or less intelligent or anything like that. They all want to be well-liked and respected by everyone else in the group. That how they can grow their own image and the image of their organization among supposedly other prominent people so the executives start agreeing with everything that has been said even if they don't truly agree with it because who are they to question such renown speakers, etc...

Eventually, you start to get a consensus among all executives on these issues because among all the fancy dinner parties, conferences and events they go to, it seems like everyone is saying the exact same thing. In this way, the values and beliefs of "the elite" becomes a consensus. Now these executives and board members start to only hire people who share a similar vision to everyone else. Anyone who might disagree with their vision isn't part of the club.

Furthermore, the capture of corporations wasn't only done at the executive level but also from the bottom up. These rich and prominent people who rub shoulders with executives of big companies also invested significant amounts of money into Human Resources at the academic level and incorporated their values/beliefs into the HR process such that all new HR graduates believe that these values/beliefs are integral to a healthy corporate culture and therefore they start to only hire people at the bottom who fit the same values/beliefs as everyone else. In this manner, it becomes incredibly difficult for anyone with different beliefs to make it far in the corporate world.

Finally, as a last added pressure: ESG Investing. If being part of the consensus wasn't enough for executives, there's now a monetary incentive to be part of this consensus because by advocating for a specific value system, companies like Blackrock and Vanguard will overweight their corporation in indexes which will increase the demand for their shares and therefore increase share price. Even if executives disagreed with the values, it wouldn't make sense from a shareholder value perspective to ignore these values.

Now, until Trump, the Democrats and Republicans were on the exact same page. You would have noticed corporations were a lot more 50/50 back on those days. These days, the "MAGA" types of hijacked the republican party and now many of the values out of the republican camp don't align with the corporate consensus values. It's the democrats that do. Even if some of the executives are smart enough to figure out the values the democrats stand for aren't very good over the long-term most don't care enough to go against it. Executives just want to earn their salary and call it a day. The richest people see themselves as insolated from all the problems facing average people and therefore they don't care to fix the problems. They just want to do whatever is going to ruffle the least amount of feathers so they can collect their paycheck and go home.

We may be also seeing some good old fashioned corporate looting. Ford's CEO has increased his own compensation by 90% from just 2020 even as the company loses $30k on each EV it sells... which is the tech they've supposedly committed to.

Props to the United States Marine Corps.

"US Marines" was listed as the employer for 200,000 small donations to the Trump campaign. The entire active duty USMC is 220,000 Marines. They formed the single largest employer group for donors to the Trump campaign.

Marines are the white blood cells of America.

Go back and look at the the 2020 lockdowns and riots. Why did you keep hearing about gyms refusing to close? Why did you hear about bars refusing to close? Because those gyms and bars were run by Marines. In many cases, not just former servicemembers, Marines specifically. You'll hear it in all of their backstories too. The convoys, the protests, the civil disobedience. You'll find Marines running around in all of them. Why?

Besides being extremely ideologically focused on values, tradition, parochialism, and meritocracy (even if it doesn't always live up to it); it is the culture. It is a culture of masculine aggression and discipline. It embraces the mantra of the Solar Hero. This is why the Marines have always had the mantra: "run towards the sound of guns".

Then they put out commercials like this, and this, and this, and you wonder why you see them as the primary form of resistance to Leftist, tyrannical, globalist, nonsense? Should be self-explanatory.

Correct.

Within the next two years, the military will save us all.

And the doomers will find something else to complain about.

At this point, there is nothing I can do to convince anyone here that isn't already on our side.

Just know that I'm cozy. It will all make sense in hindsight.

I would agree.

Just one question.

What's the name of the instrumental Trump plays over the final words of his rally speeches?

I didn't say that. I said they are white blood cells. You still have to go out and do shit to save your country instead of hoping others do it for you.

The doomers will always find something to complain about.

Too bad they're trying to goy up the military and the army, so that more marines get put into the line of duty to be detonated instead of the army doing its job. One white blood cell can carry ten brown cells, but a hundred?

what gets me is that they're donating to Biden of all people. Biden who quite explicitly rigged the Democratic primary away from college students favorite candidate Bernie Sanders. Biden who is on video multiple times being clearly senile.

I would at least expect them to be donating to Newsome, or Buttjudge, or even Harris. You know, a candidate that is at least moderately able to pretend they know what they are doing or pretends that they have their best interests in mind. But fucking Biden?

it's embarrassing.

Neo-Cons work on behave of corporate oligarchs.

Neo-Libs want the corporate oligarchs to work on behalf of them.

It's actually a very big difference.

Well yeah, establishment Republicans which are the majority in power, don't shit, sit on their hands and whine that the evil dems are running everything and to vote for them to slow them down not even stop them.

The dems in power are like a meth head who got keys to a chainsaw factory

Who do you think most companies are afraid of?

Post Mccarthyism the communists retreated into the universities and festered untill they spawned the wave of revolutionary terrorism across America in the 70's that didn't go anywhere because only a sliver of the population cared. Following this repudiation they went on the "long march" through the institutions.

What's more telling is how each of the wings are rooted in how they perceive the world. The bottom end is (generally) dealing with things rooted in reality, whereas the top end is (for the most part) insulated in cushy offices. The more hands-on your job is, the more likely you are to vote Republican.

An example I would know is Deloitte. I used to be a delivery driver, and every time I had to go to Deloitte, all the cars in the lot would either be luxury cars, or brand new models of more standard cars. I almost never saw a pickup truck, and aside from other delivery drivers I don't think I saw a car more than 4 years old. The workers there were always dressed in office attire, and many of them ordered lunch instead of packing it, which is where I came in. These people would spend $20 just on lunch for themselves like it was nothing.

On a side note, I'm glad to see my company at the bottom, even if they butchered the initialism.

That don't make any sense to me. Well, I guess it depends on how much you like working for the man. I think if you are gonna work for the man, Democrats will throw you some benefits that a Republican would make it hard to get. If you want to work for yourself, of course, only Republicans even purport to support that for white people. At some level, they're all anti-small-business IRL. All would gladly replace you with an illegal by hook or by crook.
