>>56037449only if you take the word "progressivism" at face value. Which is wrong because what's commonly known as progressivism is hardly about progress; the etymology actually about steadily "progressing the agenda" and infiltrating institutions as opposed to the classic old school violent marxist revolution. Etimology aside, progressives and big corporations are pretty much aligned:
Progressives push for overbearing nanny states and oppose free market. Whereas corporations push to consolidate monopolies - the last thing big corps want is a free market. So they enter an unholy marriage in which state bureaucrats raise entry barriers to the entrance of new actors, while big shots put the money for propaganda and infrastructure of the new regime. Corps may end paying a bit more taxes, but in exchange their market power becomes absolute. And THIS is the actual definition of fascism, not the hillbillies in red maga caps yelling at clouds. Why the fuck do you think the likes of Bezos and Gates support more taxes?
Wokeshit goes on the same line, spreading and offering tons of mickey mouse "rights" -"right" to be gay, "right" to abort, "right" to take HRT and be a pharma slave for life- while taking away the ones that actually matter -freedom of speech, freedom of cult, equality before law, right to afford housing and food-. Bread and circus. Same as the corporate neo-cults like disney, star wars, marvel etc. And of course big companies also have something to gain with this. Corporate suits holding hands with woke statists are dragging us all into this age of neo-feudalism. What's the point on picking pronouns when you won't be able to pick nutritious food? What's the point on bringing people from any gender to your bed, if you can't afford a bedroom in the first place? Zoomers are all being conned.
