        A gesture is meaningless. Advocacy is action and is intended to generate meaningful change. A corporation does everything for money. The only actual advocacy a corporation like Google is doing is to benefit its bottom line. Y’all look at giant corporate entities who provide some meaningless lip service to a marginalized community and think that means they are on the side of the left? That’s some truly delusional pea-brained shit right there. If you’d quit getting your panties in a wad about this dumb-ass culture war crap, you’d realize that class solidarity is the only meaningful way any of us can actually change society for the better, but all the right wing chucklefucks are too busy trying to punish some group or another for some trumped up crusade created by rich dudes to keep y’all busy. Pea-brained shit.

            First off, Democrats are not leftists - this is literally capitalism in action, and supporting a moderate right wing party over an extremist right wing party makes sense for many businesses. Second, those claims all come from an entirely biased source - the Media Research Center is a partisan organization with an axe to grind. Actual studies by researchers don’t show the same bias.

            All you’re doing here is exposing how propagandized you are.

            Also, if Democrats were anywhere remotely close to being marxists, I would actually support them. Anyone claiming that Democrats are leftist marxists doesn’t legitimately understand any of the words they are using.

              Marxists =/= ideological Democrats =/= People in the Democrat party =/= Right wing =/= Objectively defined =/= Capitalism

              There were a number of sources there. I wasn’t saying Democrats are Marxists (all the things listed above are unlike each other), we were talking about Google’s inner mechanisms. For the same reason though, none of the entities mentioned are right wing. The influential ones are arguably more left than Humanists (who aren’t associated with America), and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone well-studied who sees Humanists as right-wing even despite their own monetary connections. But anyone who speaks in wings thinks in a more linear way anyways, especially when they draw the line where capitalism starts/stops supposedly being capitalism, which ignores the three-dimensional range of ways capitalism can befall a political entity.
