Social media gave the movement god-like powers. Adams touched on this in todays live show, talking about success mindsets, and how an SJW/DEI/ESG focussed mindset is ultimately a guaranteed losing mindset. --- End quote --- I don't think there was a self-made CEO of any company who was socialist. It's just an incompatible mindset with it. But they started to place diversity hires into these positions, and then somehow the company's bottom line suffers. I wonder why? The Silicon Valley Bank that went out of business? The lady responsible for the risk assessment of the company's assets was more concerned about wokeness than doing her job, they put their money into junk bonds, interest rate went up. They gave bonuses to everyone hours before closing down. So we are at a stage, where you have to interview your bank, your kindergarden teacher, your doctor, your employer, insurance provider, and so on. "Hey, how woke are you? Are you going to act in my best interest, or are you just an NPC, brainwashed with social propaganda?" --- End quote --- Banks have been failing as long as banks have existed, & even if everybody eschewed "wokeness" forever, would continue to fail from time to time. There is an old saying----- "whenever I see a "self made" man, it restores my faith in the Almighty." "Self made men" are quite commonly absolute turds, however, they are quite often competent. Many CEOS these days went to Uni to study how to be Bosses, got their heads full of idiotic management theory, & set out to make as large a personal fortune as they can, even if their incompetence leaves a trail of failed or close to failing companies behind them. Strangely, even with a disastrous record behind them, boards continue to employ such people, who are so self obsessed that they have no identification with their company, let alone any consideration of "woke" things. Meanwhile, ordinary employees who do identify with the company are "kicked to the kerb" without a thought. |

Several right-wing American politicians stated that SVB failed due to "wokeness". The New York Times fact-check department, pooping the party, checked the normal "D&I" and "ESG" scorekeepers for the financial industry and found SVB parked right near the middle/median of its peer group. Facts are for losers. |

If you do I have some cal equipment to sell....HA! |

--- Quote from: Nominal Animal on March 17, 2023, 10:18:33 am ---What is the key here, is that not all who have left-leaning political views are cancelists! Note that I myself pointed out that in the past, when the mainstream conformist pressure was towards conservatism, the cancelist/shunners were conservative. This all goes down into herd mentality and social pressure mechanisms in urban environments. --- End quote --- Throughout recent history (last couple hundred years or so at least) this was mostly a right leaning thing and the liberal left were the ones pushing for free speech and defending the right of people to talk about anything without being punished. I'm not sure when this changed exactly but it seems like it was just the last 20 years or so and only in maybe the last 10 years that it has become mainstream. |
