> Rich people pushing a liberal agenda are still rich people. The "capitalist agenda" I mentioned in my prior comment still applies and supersedes the virtue signaling. This is a belief in magical entities the same as you were denouncing. > For example, Bill Gates, the EU, and the MPAA all stepped in to tell President Biden to get lost when he proposed suspending COVID-19 vaccine patents. Yes — which is why it’s important to understand the particular benefits to Bill Gates, and other individuals involved. > Things like ESG scores are offered because people don't want to invest in oil companies and investment brokers can make more money if they offer that option to people who would otherwise not have invested in the stock market. Yes — that’s the pretense. But not the practice which a) uses captive funds to push agendas of insiders and b) is focused on pushing the destructive social agendas of insiders ahead of actual metrics. > This is free-market capitalism working "as intended" - people see the long-term risks of bad environmental management and divest themselves from it. Except that it’s not: It’s insiders using grandma’s retirement money to push their personal political agendas, even when that loses money for grandma. Again, look at media companies for that collapse — WarnerMedia, Netflix, Disney, etc.
