I'm not a member of those companies' boards, so I could not say. I suspect because they're politically aligned with the "soundbite" message presented by the leadership of the riots, and that their marketing teams calculated it is beneficial for PR purposes. Useful Innocents.
- emodendroket 6y agoMy suspicion is that the protests are far less coordinated or politically aligned than you suggest. For every "committed Marxist" involved I think you have a lot of plain old liberals and people with no real coherent political ideology at all.
- Dirlewanger 6y agoThat's surely the case with many protestors, but these protests these widespread didn't happen without coordination at the top. Ironically, that's one of the reasons why Occupy Wall Street failed miserably: it was mostly just bored NYC-area college students that wanted something to do.
