America's Wokest Companies, And What They're Paying Their CEOs

[BeatMan]

Several of the largest, most well known corporations in America also happen to be some of the most left-leaning. Indeed, in today’s hyper-partisan political era, intensified and arguably defined by the election and administration of President Donald Trump, left-wingers in positions of corporate power have used their leverage and political leanings to effectively add a whole new term to America’s political lingo - Woke Capitalism.

Under the Woke Capitalist model, companies aren’t just producing and selling a product to create shareholder wealth and provide for employee livelihoods, they are also assuming the mantle of social justice, or fairness and equality as defined by liberals. In such a system, products are selected not merely based on how they will sell, but rather on whether an agenda is furthered and/or certain protected groups are offended, and employees are subjected to rigorous speech and thought codes that adhere to leftist norms. Deviate, and risk retraining at best, and termination at worst.

However, the willingness of America’s woke corporations to forsake profits in the name of social justice and leftist causes doesn’t seem to extend to the payment models of their top leadership, who with few exceptions don’t seem willing to take a personal pay cut to further their notions of equality.

Here are a few notable examples:

Boycott Blue: ‘Woke’ Gillette Posts $8-Billion Loss After Idiotic Man Bashing Ad

Gillette parent company Procter & Gamble just posted a Q2 loss of $5-Billion thanks to an $8-Billion writedown on the dominant razor and men’s care line that is blamed on a boycott of Gillette products after an insulting, male bashing television and internet ad that blamed all men for the actions of rapists and abusers.

Of all the attempted SJW backlash movements, this one was the most effective one that I've seen. And it's easy to see why #BoycottGillette worked so well. The Gillette ad campaign was perhaps the dumbest thing that I've seen from a company that should be attempting to sell products and appeal to consumers. Instead, this campaign went to a whole new level of dumbfuckery to insult its customer base. I saw the ad months ago, and even though I typically don't think twice about the politics of this or that company, this one made even me decide never to buy a Gillette product again - it was just that bad.


My advice to corporate America: if you're attempting to sell products to men, don't allow anyone who looks or acts anything like this creature to be on the ad campaign team (this particular dumbass wasn't - I'm just sayin').
