The Age of the Coward is here, where America’s most powerful corporations, once eager to preach their values, now fold like cheap umbrellas at the first gust of political wind.

“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can’t find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can’t muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren’t businesses making tough choices – they’re paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

    assuming their actual hiring practices are not really changing

    Why on earth would anyone paying even the slightest bit of attention assume that?

    If Google from now on only hired straight, white people, it would be detrimental to them for missing out on a huge pool of talent and they know this

    Even with DEI they still hire more straight white men than any other group, and they do so because they don’t give a shit about the talent they might be missing out on because they don’t consider marginalised people to be as talented in the first place, that’s literally how white supremacy along with other systems of oppression function, and they aren’t something that is just happening now, they are literally what America and capitalism are founded on.
