    1. Huh? Being anti-union and “woke” aren’t even the same thing. One of these days people will see that being “woke” isn’t the bad thing that the right makes it out to be. When your freedoms start to disappear, as they are even today, don’t come crying to the “woke”.

    2. Being woke is the smoke screen to help convince useful idiots that these corporations actually believe in what they’re doing. If they really cared about LGBTQ rights, they’d advocate in their promo campaigns in countries where gays fear being thrown off rooftops. But they don’t. Companies like Starbucks deliberately strip away their rainbow campaigns in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, China, Russia.

      If they really cared about racial equity, they’d promote in places where minorities literally face government imposed burdens toward economic advancement. Instead, they take movies with prominent non-white characters and downplay their presence in promotional campaigns for the aforementioned countries, reducing them to a tiny presence in the marketing posters. They might even cut out scenes featuring an interracial or gay romance because they won’t play well.

      But that’s the undercurrent of wokery. Ideological zeal combined with signaling how much you care (which mostly just shows other people whose team you’re on), while doing absolutely nothing of benefit and actually overtly harming people who don’t have “moral merit” because of biology, as Jonathan Haidt terms it.

      Note how little concern modern corporate America has for actual blue-collar unions, as manifest by the rail strike several weeis ago. And how the historically pro-union political party doesn’t much care either, unless the unions are for government workers.

      But Marshall is right: not all wokeys are anti-union. They do love their teachers’ unions! But law enforcement? Not so much. Given that wokeys use force and bullying to silence people who disagree with them, I somehow don’t think they’re going to be the ones we turn to “when [our] freedoms start to disappear”.

    3. Marshall P.
      Starbucks is as Woke as it gets. The CEO of Starbucks, Howard Shultz
      is a Progressive Democrat. He was a social justice warrior to his core.
      Shultz retired and was called back specifically to derail Starbuck stores
      from unionizing. You do t see the irony in that????

      Progressives are only as progressive as their profit margins will allow.
      Then they are just any other corporation trying g to meet its bottom line.

      The CEO of Salesforce Benioff is a Woke Progressive Dem also.
      Everything was we are a family at Salesforce and we will take care of
      each other. Benioff was a social justice warrior constantly crusading
      until it affected his bottom line. LMAO!!!

      Benioff, we are family until we are not family. In other words until it
      affects the profit margins. He quickly changed his tune when things
      negativity affecteded his profits.
