I hope corporate American see a comeback of DEI

memes is profitable and very worthy.

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️

This is special, this is newsworthy.

2. I have mixed feelings

I support the accomplishments of those ladies, but i have very negative feelings about the use Corporate America makes of woke.

If I wanted to set out to sabotage woke I can’t think of a better strategy than to get corporate America involved as a friend or foe. Staying off corporate America’s radar seems like most woke thing..

Would you want corporate America knowing about the Underground Railroad? They would try to exploit it while destroying its gravitas.

Nothing radical can survive the narcotizing homogeneity of corporate America or its equally sleazy and shallow clones the world over.

3. Black children need these images

When you have white people questioning our credentials and expertise, these images are powerful. We also need this remembrance to push back against a racist and lawless administration.

6. I understand that

That I totally get

It’s just that by now I think corporate America is actively malicious often in its pretense wrt caring about anything.

I usually figure in any of its interaction with any of us, Corporate America’s main plan is to tame and deradicalize if not discredit the left. And promote shills at the expense of most people.

Their brainwashing is hard to shake off..

7. How many large corporations

Have you worked for and how recently?

[jfz9580m]

9. None

And that will remain true forever. I try not to stray outside academic science if I can help it.

But their brainwashing influence could not be escaped even in academia. The cultish crap where you are supposed to be polite about ott stuff you consider garbage.

10. I think you are stereotyping

I thought we knew better than that here. Obviously not.

11. Stereotyping industrial corporations?

I guess..yeah.

I was never a fan of woke capitalism. It just seemed like extra anti-woke capitalism.

It seemed largely like social engineering deliberately aimed at the public to shift everything more to the right. I despised my last workplace which was all about that stuff.


(Edit: To be clear, I am very much for what is truly bona fide woke. I was attacking the way Industrial corporations do those things in a way calculated to destroy their most radical aspects while keeping anything that overall works against woke. I think those people actively foster the image of a left or feminist movement that is frivolous and unrelatable or entitled.

The only stereotypes I see are the ones that I suspect corporate America wants to project while pretending to be on the side of harmony etc. I had this cognitive dissonance a lot in the 2016s etc when Facebook Google etc claimed to be woke. I found it confusing since they are obviously no such thing. Otoh by faux championing woke they tainted the image of woke. As just a keyboard warrior thing.

Woke must by its nature be more unpredictable and less easy to control than anything corporate America latches on to expecting the normal trite payday or a sneaky, backdoor attack on the values they fear the most as it would upend the status quo for real. Lina Khan was woke and she certainly gave them a run for their money.

Woke is alive and well. Down with woke capitalism though is my stance. )
