@bright_helpings yeah it's a good lagging indicator (to borrow the economics term) for sure. the problem only arises when people view it as a *cause*, or think that it necessarily corresponds to the companies actual values.

there are two good arguments in favor of corporate pride stuff
- it does legitimately help some people feel more secure
- it makes conservatives EXTREMELY mad and that's funny

@msh VENIX/RAINBOW also has some big "secret government organization" energy

@bhtooefr it feels like a *lot* of people go from "individual action cannot and will not solve problem X by itself" to "therefore there is no point in taking individual action, we should just wait for capitalism to disappear"
