look, if you're a soulless corporation just trying to deliver profits to shareholders, this is 100% the right move.
the problem is not refusing to go along with some meaningless gesture based in ignorant nationalism. the problem is that we live in capitalism, where the right move is always the one that delivers profits. decisions lacking humanity are always going to get made. focusing on this nothingburger just distracts from the bigger picture.
if you want results, destroy capitalism.
Says the person defending google...
You don't destroy capitalism by making concessions to mega-corp. If you truly want to destroy capitalism, you should be constantly taking every shot you can.
i'm not defending them. i'm just trying to temper your expectations. there's a lot of uproar of pikachu shocked face stuff. it's all symptoms of the illness. you will be slapping band aids on shit forever if you don't attack the root cause of the illness.
sometimes i think you all just want stuff to be outraged over. maybe you just like to post about it and get upvotes. maybe you just want to be part of an in-group.
does that assumption bother you? because it bothers me that you think i'm pro-capitalism just because i won't join in on your circle jerk.
Reading through your post history I am inferring that you believe you're smarter than everyone (due to pretty much a complete absence of any kind of snark for about a week. I didn't go back further than that). I don't believe you're very smart. You're the type of "leftist" that causes division amongst the left. That being said; yes, I believe you're pro-capitalist. So with that, I block you.
cool. well you won't see it when i tell you to GFY.
i am smarter than most of you. i'm older and wiser too. the vast majority of you are a bunch of little cucks that are going to find out what being a limp-wristed do-nothing gets you. enjoy the boot. forever.
you sound like an asshole btw
