The woke capitalism thread [Get woke, go broke]

It appears that John Lewis, a long established English company, beloved of the middle class, has decided to commit commercial suicide. Last night, there was an advert on TV which featured Stevie Nicks' "Edge of seventeen". I looked up as soon as I heard the first few bars, only to be confronted with this:

Heh.
Lord have mercy, this is particularly appalling in like 5 different ways, even by woke standards.
Wow. I think this post nailed it for me, and everything became so much clearer. It's never been about equal rules, it's about heads I win, tails you lose. Religion used to be above reproach. If it was illogical, inconstant, ridiculous, involved things that would absolutely be crimes (sikhs bringing daggers to school, rabbis sucking the foreskins of babies, smoking weed) through the lens of religion all of a sudden it became perfectly fine, because hey you can't question people's religious belief. Indeed that was the entire trope behind the flying spaghetti monster. Flash forward to 2021, and request a religious exemption to the vaccine, and all of a sudden that's no longer the case. Turns out you *can* question someone's religion and call BS. Same thing with the super-straight/super-gay meme. Sexuality used to be a personal thing, you have no right to question or judge - but as soon as that's turned on it's head to say "I like women, but women who were born women and have vaginas" all of a sudden your sexuality is no longer valid, *can* be questioned, and is wrong.
I've generally played by the "tell me what the rules are in the broadest sense, and I'll stay within them", and I think even going back to the Magna Carta that was the whole idea. Lay down a ground work of rules so that someone more powerful can't just arbitrarily send his challengers, enemies, and ppl who annoy him to jail, and society as a whole will be better off.
Early life checks out:
“Fink was born on November 2, 1952.[7][8] He grew up in a Jewish family[9] in Van Nuys, California, where his mother was an English professor and his father owned a shoe store.”
Brandon is the most loved and hated race car driver in history.
I was thinking about siblings or parents that have relatives named Brandon and simply wanted to get the customized balls with the relative's name. Is Brandon now a cancelled name?
This is what really angers me. Behind all the woke stuff is satanic evil.
BTW, the early life on Ron Wyden reads as you'd expect.
This is corrupt and shows why lobbyists are bad for the common people. This should be illegal. However, I don't think the USA should interfere with Chinese politics in this way. It is their country and as long as they don't kidnap Americans and force them into slave labor, it is not really our business. A simpler and less controversial approach is to introduce tariffs to encourage FAIR TRADE as opposed to FREE (but often unfair) TRADE. Also, higher tariffs for nations with human rights issues (to include Australia and New Zealand) seem fair. However, complex requirements to prove the exact origin of items in foreign nations is burdensome for smaller businesses and tilts the weights in favor of giant businesses with money for people to deal with the red tape.
I recommend this book which dives into the subject of lobbyists more deeply.

Even though every word of this is true and verifiable, you will just be attacked as a conspiracy theorist if you try and talk about it.
Making “conspiracy theorist” the ultimate term of abuse was the smartest move the Satanists ever made. Because you can’t even get the necessary conversations started.
it's good, unless you understand finances
really? That last paragraph is total nonsense. Corporations don't usually get any investment dollars. They borrow money from banks and if they are in worse shape they issue bonds and if they are in really, really bad shape only then they get investment dollars by issuing new shares (which lowers the stock price even further)
If you really think it's true, show me which of these big woke corporations got investments (and how).
