> organisations themselves have become extremely political
This is not true if only for the fact that organizations have always engaged in politics. In one of the worst cases, the United Fruit Company lobbied the US President to overthrow the elected government of Guatemala. In one of the most benign cases, Subaru sponsored gay pride events and publicly supported LGBT groups in the 1990s.
Besides that, everything else you've said is useless hyperbole. Get your history together before you go spouting nonsense.
- beaconstudios 9y agoorganisations have always been political, but the current political environment inside tech is at what I would consider to be an extremely high point. Politics right now are extremely divisive (I think much more so than say 10 years ago) and many tech companies have openly picked a side. Yes I am familiar with the UFC, and have read about their involvement in various Caribbean nations and the whole "banana republic" concept. > Besides that, everything else you've said is useless hyperbole. Get your history together before you go spouting nonsense. Why be so hostile? If you want to be a dick to strangers on the internet then piss off back to reddit. Feel free to point out which of these two statements is useless hyperbole: > Google is known to be a very left-leaning company > [Google] talks a big talk about being logic and reason-driven Everything else I said was conjecture.
