Ever wondered why "get woke, go broke" never succeeded? Why companies have seemingly introduced toxic cultures, subsequently destroying their productivity and profits? Was it to target only leftist consumers? That makes no sense - they're alienating a large potion of the market in favor of only a small portion. You would be correct - it DOESN'T make sense.
Meet Larry Fink. Larry Fink has been a very busy bee over the last decade or two. He has created the largest hedge fund company in the entirety of history - BlackRock. Our story starts in 2008, during the housing bubble crash and Global Financial Crisis. The FED is freaking out, not knowing how to manage the situation. It looks extremely likely that the entire system will implode and they do not have the tools to stop it. Enter Larry Fink. Our boy Larry offered to help. He was running a $7 trillion dollar hedge fund at the time. They created the Maiden Lane vehicles where all of the defunct Wall Street giants' assets will be placed and managed by the FED officially, but in reality it was Larry who was the one to manage them.

Fast-forward to the 2020 crash. The FED is panicking again because the corporate bond market was about to collapse, as investors no longer wanted the zombie corps' debt. If this market went, corporations would no longer be able to fund themselves, except for issuing more stock which would future de-value equities and create a death spiral. So, who's come to save the day once more? Larry Fink. The FED basically told Larry to buy worthless bonds, and they in turn will actively buy his ETF to subsidize him. This in turn, means BlackRock is now having freshly-printed U.S. dollars purcahse his ETF. BlackRock is now effectively part of the financial system, to the point where Bloomberg even called them, "the Fourth Branch of Government."

Now you might be wondering, "what does this have to do with 'wokism'? It's a rant about what we already know!" You see, our boy Larry Fink has recently become obsessed with something called ESG - Environment, Social & Corporate governance - investing. In short, Larry's investment philosophy is to reward companies that comply with certain rules regarding investment dollars. Examples of said-rules include the CEO not receiving a standard salary, and meeting employment standards pertaining to "diversity" and "inclusion". Larry is free to throw approximately $12 trillion dollars to the companies with the highest ESG score - in essence, a "woke score".
Perhaps you're thinking, "so what? Non-ESG companies can get investment dollars from elsewhere. That doesn't matter!" You would be wrong. BlackRock's Aladdin service is used by practically every major investment institution and fund around the globe. Most of these institutions and funds utilize the ESG ranking as well, even if they do not believe in it. After all, why would you want to draw the ire of the "Fourth Branch of Government" by not complying?
This has lead to every single corporation on Earth having to increase their "wokeness" to receive investment-dollars, otherwise their ESG score will be too-low and they will effectively be blocked from the market. This is why the agenda is being pushed at any and all cost. Mr. Fink has a hard-on for wokeness, and no one dares cross him. There really are no brakes on the rape train.

>tl;dr: Larry Fink has gained so much power, that he is strong-arming the entire financial world to only invest in "woke" companies
So, if I got this right, Larry Fink is based and he's the reason we're getting so much diversity kino?
You should probably just skip the everything and go straight to killing yourself.
but if 'wokeness' decreases efficiency and profits why would investment bankers be pushing it? There is more going on here.
I don't know. It's doesn't make sense. Who would profit from a sick, weak society with no morals or trust?
>why would investment bankers be pushing it?
because they can. at 11 trillion dollars (and rising at a rate of 1-3 trillion a year) they have literally more money than can be spent, on anything, ever.
so why not embrace what wholefoods and Amazon discovered, that diversity decreases solidarity, and force as much diversity as possible?
>doesn't understand how rich people think

't understand how rich people think
feel free to elaborate on this.
we both know you won't, for fear of exposing your own complete ignorance.
What exactly is an ETF, explain it in laymen terms.
Why do all majoe invesrment institutions and funds use aladdin service?
Idk but my guess based on my experience in various industries is out of utter convenience. It's lots of work to create your own tools when someone else already came up with the cotton gin, they just can't steal as easy so they have to tow the line to use it.
So, is he the final boss that needs to be executed then?
They should make a sequel where their drunken decisions enslave their children to lives of horror and misery.
what is with the shirt in that picture
also why are her nipples visible
never forget they've taken from us
Gonna just bump this very likely based thread while I read OP
OK I'm done and well done OP. Lots of ground covered in just 2 posts. A few zingers but not egregious to the point that wokeass Twitter brains will completely discount it right off so it's potentially redpilling. I give it a redpill/redpilling.
Bumping so jannies get upset
Bumping so jannies get proper fricked
Yeah I wondered why literally every big company started pandering almost in lockstop overnight despite the market not really liking it. ESG scores explain so much, you don't really need to please the general audience when whatever money you lose from going woke is just replaced with finkbux
I told my wife years ago that it was confusing as hell to me how all these studios were making this work. She was convinced that it was what people REALLY wanted to see but I wasn't. 10 years ago studios would EVENTUALLY go broke with a long enough string of duds so they would drop people way faster, but lately you see them fail up and up and up while they go on Twitter and accuse old white fricks of doing the same thing lol. Twitter doesn't help, since firing someone doesn't stay quiet like the local news days.
whats even funnier is when you realize over ten years ago, the internet and social media completely replaced television and film as the primary source of entertainment for most people. so between that and video games, hollywood completely lost it's audience. with no idea how to get it back, they turned to blackrock.
>the internet and social media completely replaced television and film as the primary source of entertainment for most people.
it also replaced the legacy media as a source of News and Opinion which why the mainstream has embraced censorship all of a sudden.
And astroturfing. They are doing everything they can to control it still with online shills and false flag ad campaigns against boogeymen, all for the sake of manipulating public opinion by isolating people and showing them only what is "good" perspective. It's quite the balancing act.
Ah, that explain why people believe in flat earth and shoot pizzerias for hiding sex dungeons. Clearly, we won a lot by destroying the barrier of entry and allowing every monkeys with a keyboard to self crown itself as journalist
Good morning, Tel Aviv.
>10 years ago
Just as pointing propaganda at home turf became okay again with the Obama administration.
And I'm supposed to feel bad when hamas does a rocket attack on these "people"?
Interesting stuff, had no idea about any of that beyond blackrock bad
>repill thread immediately slides down the catalog
Meds now
I prefer to visit the thread of your favorite waifu and coom all over the place.
Jokes on you, pumpkin fricker, my waifu’s not on this board!
If you listen to the way these CEOs and shit talk at the WEF you wouldn't say that. They are so villainous, if feels like a boast. Like a dare.
Eventually some nutjob is going to waste one of them; who knows what will come to pass after that.
They're no longer pretending

>One would think that a technology-powered future with 3D printing would finally increase the productivity of great artisans and craftsmen, which has remained stagnant for centuries and become so prohibitive that these arts and trades are being lost to the prefab altogether. Such a breakthrough would allow the physical environment to be rebuilt in the most glorious Georgian, Tudor, or Spanish Colonial styles, but available to the masses. Farms and pastures could practically run themselves, making food better, making it cheaply, and delivering it fresh. The greatest educators would run classes for all those who wanted to take them. And new technological breakthroughs would clean up the atmosphere.
>But that’s not what they imagine at all. For the Davoisie, the future is your guts wirelessly reporting you truant and then a text message buzzing on every device in the house, warning your pets to exit the room while it is flooded with gas to sedate you into compliance with Pfizer. Afterwards a Chinese multinational informs you that the gas-flooding and Pfizer SWAT-team incident have brought about serious penalties to your carbon score, thereby deferring your long-awaited meat ration by several more years. As a help in the future, Microsoft’s cognitive copilot will be taking over even more duties and tasks previously assigned to you.
>It is actually a crisis for our global elites that every idea they have for solving problems involves subtracting more of our humanity and freedom from human civilization. The only vision they have of the future is of a population drugged, fed on fake food, entertained by phones strapped to their faces, and controlled by machines. They see our unhappy reaction to this, and their imagination only comes up with more elaborate gags for us, and dreams of unsolvable mazes to drop us in.
