Recently I saw a lot of these with the Microsoft aquisition - on both sides. You have the Microsoft simps, but also the people who are not against Microsoft because of the scum move itself, but because they "take away" from Sony, the company they simp for.
Consolidation of media is cringe, regardless of the form it takes
I hate that everything is "cringe" today... What happened to calling this the old fashion way, fucked up!
I just love monopolies buying competition. I get such a hard on when I think Microsoft will buy Sony
When google buys apple, you cant know the good feeling youll get from it.
So long as exclusives mean console+PC because I don't care for owning another console. EA comes to mind with these mergers, maybe open up the social mind space for new blood to roll in and eat their lunch.
I am hoping MS getting Activision/Blizzard will make Activision/Blizzard a less garbage comoany

I think at the moment both liberals and conservative have their darling companies that they like.
What company do you consider to be liberals' darling? I'm completely drawing a blank on this.

At best most companies can be considered neoliberal if you really want to pin a political agenda on them.
Company lobby is aimed at those in power. Republicans and democrats are both deeply affected as they are the leading parties as you might know.
In 2020-2021 the line "they're a private company and can choose what speech they host on their platform" was thrown around a lot to defend pre-Musk Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and loads of other social media sites.
Disney is adored by many for "standing up to DeSantis" and doing lots of inclusiveness pandering in their media. People seem to instantly forget that a corporation is literally evil the second some people get wound up over a black mermaid.
A really old meme would be the anti-capitalist who owns an iPhone and $2000 MacBook.
Lots of internet techies are excited about Microsoft acquiring Activision just because it means new video games will hit PC and Xbox quicker.
Speaking of Microsoft, while Bill Gates has become more controversial in recent years, he still has lots of people who love him for his philanthropy while nicely glossing over some of the sketchy stuff he's done like his association with Jeffery Epstein and how he has recently become the largest landowner in the US.
I'd say the defending of corporate censorship and defending giant corporations that support certain social issues would be the two most glaring offenders.
I mean, for the joke, Subaru and L.L. Bean are the obvious choices, but it's also the kind of joke where part of the joke is that it's also not a joke.
yeah both suck
The amount of people I've seen this applies to.... is.. shocking
No Step on Snek
Unless the multi billion dollar corporation supports gay rights.
On the opposite end, people in the left cheering for Disney and Meta is pretty disgusting.

Thank you! I've been aware of this and was using it, but it quit working for me. There's definitely a syntax error in the 'Link' button above the 'reply' text box. It doesn't include the assclamation mark. But I'm thinking I manually followed your example, with the assclamation mark.
How long have you been using this, and have you experienced an interuption?
Thanks again!
It's weird on my instance: the button itself seems to have disappeared entirely at some point. I've just been typing it in for the time being.
Edit: There's also the formatting guide available here. Manually typing the markdown seems to avoid issues.
Turns out it's hit or miss, working in some places but not all.
Okay, thanks. We'll get there.
It was probably a LUMs error on my end, anyway. (Lack of User Memory)
Well, I suppose Fascists will always hate fat people.
