While one can argue the freaky stuff on Twitter are just a bunch of far left weirdos, the fact that corporations are bowing to this and seem to be actively promoting it is far more of a worry. Horrible group think.
Often wondered what their ( corporations) motivation for all this wokeness is.
It's not that they're putting social justice ahead of profits. No way. There are many execs with the knowledge to identify that wokeness is a hypocritical and vapid ideology, but yet here they are going full retard.
Heard a couple of theories: they are reacting to the widespread distrust in their behaviour so this is their signalling to make them look less predatory.
: the left in America always win the sociological battles so siding with them gives the best of both worlds, Republican tax breaks and favourable business policies and the hearts and minds of the dems.It's a shame that companies who profit from real world analysis and services also head off into fantasy land when it suits.
Nobody, really nobody, should give a fig what a bank's stance on sex, race or sexuality is. We just want them to be prudent with money.
If banks are using race as a feature for denying mortgages, you don't care?
No. It's against current laws. If the banks got away with that we need to look at the judicial system.
Also my context about corporations was the public relations side
A lot of Gender Studies and Race Theory graduates end up working in either HR or Journalism, which probably goes some way to explaining that.
Fair to say the education system in the West has failed our youth. So few of them seem to understand self governance and just put all faith in the state to solve every personal issue or grievance.
I blame parenting.

This is actually pretty funny. They'd better start negotiating some sort of trade deal ASAP though or life could get pretty tough very fast.
There's a great irony in them putting up a barricade/ wall and determining who may enter this autonomous zone...

So what's worse - someone who simply makes shit up or someone who doesn't know what's going on?

@No-Quarter That's very well put.
I'm going to share it to facebook. Considering I have family currently putting together a BLM chapter to tear down statues in NZ I will expect significant blowback. -
@No-Quarter one hell of a letter! Thanks for posting. And link to it for use elsewhere.
I suspected the link to DNC, bearing in mind Soros is funding this.
Very sad state of affairs in US! -

There is all sorts of fucked up in that article. Not the article itself but the incidents they mention.
I actually felt sorry for Mr Fang.What boggles my mind is that suppressing views and debate is only good if you are 100% aligned with those who decide what's ok. And what happens when what's ok changes and you're outside the rent suddenly? It's damn scary, and seems to be moving towards thought crime and away from classic liberalism.

Watch it quick, Twitter will delete in 3, 2, 1....
Is it in the nation's best interest for the president to deliberately spread memes with fake content?
I don't get why people are enjoying this.

@Snowy I saw the whole of that clip on my FB feed the other day (cant be arsed trying to search it out)
the one I saw was promoting the opposite of racism, by saying kids dont see colour...which showed the 2 boys run towards one another with big smiles and then embrace, have a little chat then the above clip.

@taniwharugby That's the one I saw which I said was quite good. Messages might be a bit confused here.

Because its both humourous and the message regarding media is accurate. CNN were as late as last week still pushing the 'White supremacists are behind the rioting and looting" and many a moron who only consumes CNN/Guardian/HuffPo type one-sided media continue their supposed righteous outrage.
Also its a sweet video of 2 kids who haven't yet been brainwashed.

@gt12
It's pointing out the propensity of SJWs and corporate left wing media to promote the racism is everywhere bullshit. Humor is a great way to illustrate this.And he knows damn well Twitter will label it as "Manipulated Media" The left wing outlets will dutifully report on it and more people will see the meme out of curiosity.
Someone's "manipulating" the media............
(some of you are too serious.)
