- Shlobster200107 6y agoErosion of traditional values through marxism, feminism etc. Japan is still holding but not for long.
- bantunes 6y agoAre you serious?
- danbolt 6y agoPerhaps you could elaborate a bit? I’m not sure I follow how Marxism and Feminism eroded values to change Western business practices.
- earthscienceman 6y agoWhat? Are you suggesting that a lack of fealty to corporations is a result of the rise of feminism and marxism? Could you give more detail on these connections?
- kaybe 6y agoIsn't it more a lack of fealty from corporations?
- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 6y agoFor the people lost about the connection: Fascists value: - corporatism - nationalism - "traditional values" - masculinity / machismo This guy is arguing that we've been straying from these (his) ideals, and corporations that don't stay domestic are part of a larger narrative of cultural decline.

- 29083011397778 6y agoI suspect a comment above you spelled it out: corporations value stock price too highly. When stock price is all that matters, cutting costs wherever they think they can get away with it is the end result (over a long enough period, I'd assume this will always happen as execs cycle through) As things (engineering, components, design, UX, etc) are cut, customers notice - and switch to brands that they percieve as having cut less. One example of this I'd assume is Apple.
- pqhwan 6y agoThat’s an interesting take, but I was making a different point. Corporations will always do what’s necessary to thrive, and what they need to thrive is largely a function of what society demands. If the corporations are taking down their nationalist trappings, then it’s because we no longer demand them. As far as my globalist politics is concerned, that’s good and well.
