    "cashing in this virtue signaling"

    Not wanting to be associated with the Great Replacement theory is "virtue signaling"

    Tell me you're a right wing shill without telling me you're a right wing shill

      He's right. They don't care about what's on X as long as there isn't negative publicity. It has nothing to do with being right-wing. If anything, it's quite left-wing to believe that companies only care about the baseline.

          That's rubbish. It has nothing to do with right wing. Google, Apple, Coca Cola, Microsoft, and many other large companies have been accused of virtue signaling - rightfully so. They pretend to care about social issues for 2 seconds and then go right back to business once the news cycle is over. Is that a right-wing thing to do?

      I have very little faith in businesses to do the right thing for the right reasons. Publicly traded companies in the US literally can't do that legally if they think it will hurt their bottom line.
