I think we're not in any danger of a true socialist revolution here seeing that the Chopistani warlord Raz himself is literally an Airbnb landlord who drives a Tesla with a trunk full of AR-15s. The moment anyone comes to him for the actual money (from each according to his ability, after all, and he's certainly able) they'll get punched in the teeth or shot.
Note how it's always someone else that needs to pay/atone/change, never the "activists" themselves. It's always this amorphous "we". Not a single virtue signaling white executive that I know of has resigned their position to "increase diversity". Not a single white actor has foregone a role. And so on and so forth all the way down the list. You know how many black people worked in the building I worked in while at Google? Zero. You know how many I interviewed in nearly a decade there? One. He was rejected (not by me though, the guy did very well in my interview). Talk is cheap. Want something done about it? Be the change you want to see in the world.
I come from a country where there was a socialist revolution. The entire contingent of the current "movement" would meet a quick and brutal end after a real revolution, because the moment you don't like something a real revolutionary likes, you become a counter-revolutionary, and those are dealt with quickly, with a bullet to the back of the head. Or, as was the case in the Soviet Union, with tens of millions of bullets to tens of millions of heads.

- m0zg 6y agoNot a real executive IIRC. He resigned from the BoD. And he's the only prominent person to do something concrete and direct like that. The rest are putting out PR releases and posting black squares to Instagram.
- throwaway6274 6y agoI don’t disagree with you by the way. I find virtue signaling to be rather useless (if not outright harmful to helping causes).
