Google was taken over by activists. Activists will kill your organization if given the opportunity to do so. Their goals aren't aligned with the company or the customers. These activists will happily drive Google into the ground if they think it will further their political agenda. Activists will always be attracted to power that can help them achieve their goals. Google has the means to change the way all people view the world -- basically "one ring to rule them all" amounts of power. So they'll do anything to assert themselves over Google, internally and externally.

These arent "activists", its the founders and leaders of the company allowing it. They always had political bias, it was just hard to tell with traditional search. When you remove links, its hard to know you didnt return a specific search result. When you do generative AI, the bias is very clear. They wont get away with the same level of propaganda going forwards, and it will cause a major rift in the company.

> Their goals aren't aligned with the company or the customers They wouldn't be working for Google if they were aligned with their purported ideology. This isn't specific to Google. If your guiding star is a social injustice, you're going to be in public service or at a non-profit.

  It’s just mob wife stuff. You want to have an art gallery and nice garden parties where everyone is happy. Maybe you even run some nice NGOs. But your husband orders murder and extortion. The whole thing lasts so long as the wall is maintained. But if you get to tell your husband what to do, his gang gets beaten by the other guy.

  You can thank the American public (we're all paying a few cents to Google through advertisement) and Google's monopoly status.
