I think GP means in film, media, and by proxy, education.
The items you listed fluctuate rapidly by popular vote. These others aren't governed by democracy, but by the economic advantage of the wealthy few who control them.
- dttze 1y agoThe people with the power and wealth aren't far left.
- trimethylpurine 1y agoIn film? I think they are. Netflix Disney YouTube Apple Amazon I think they are more generally too; tech is a very large sector. But that's tangential.
- queenkjuul 1y agoNot one thing you mentioned is far left by any description.
- trimethylpurine 1y agoLiterally all of them are. Netflix has Obama making films. Co founders funding Gavin Newsom's campaigns. Even CNBC a left leaning news source, classifies Netflix as among the most liberal. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/02/most-liberal-tech-companies-ranked-by-employee-donations.html https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/02/most-liberal-tech-companies-... Disney is not left leaning? Obviously the rest of the humans sharing the planet with you think they are: https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/is-disney-moving-away-from-its-liberal-agenda.html https://www.movieguide.org/news-articles/is-disney-moving-aw... I won't bother continuing, because this is boring at this point, but at least you could search before responding.

- trimethylpurine 1y agoThat's subjective. Matters of opinion aren't part of an education, hopefully you agree. And firmly, I disagree with your opinion on what far left is, but I'm happy to hear yours. I didn't say liberals are far left, by the way, I consider myself to be one. But since you are bringing it up, I will specify that I think modern liberalism is very far left when compared with 90s liberalism, for example. Even in light of all that, this is a surprising comment. If the rest of the items you listed aren't far left, what is far left to you? Do I dare ask? PS. >Please educate yourself. Is your intention to claim that your education is exceptional above a likelihood of most others you encounter on HN? You may want to think about that.
- MisterBastahrd 1y agoIt isn't subjective. Those corporations aren't far-left even by US standards, where Bernie Sanders would be considered center-right in a global context. Get an education for your own sake.

- trimethylpurine 1y agoYou mean the mainstream articles I posted didn't agree with you? You may want to follow up your argument with citation. That's what would be expected in educated discourse. But you know that already. You're educated.
- MisterBastahrd 1y agoDid you know that mainstream articles aren't actual research and are made for mass-consumption rather than reporting factual information? Might want to actually learn something.
- queenkjuul 1y agoNone of what your described affects one's right to free speech
- trimethylpurine 1y agoI fail to see your point.
- queenkjuul 1y agoAlso if you think public education is far left you are sorely lacking in political education
- trimethylpurine 1y agoCitation would make for better discussion. Overwhelmingly, it's viewed as left leaning. Including by the left. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/perceptions-of-us-public-schools-political-leanings-and-the-federal-role-in-education/ https://www.brookings.edu/articles/perceptions-of-us-public-...
