Liberals are completely confident that they are smarter than their political opposition, and a major factor in that notion is that they can look to overwhelmingly successful figures who support the same notions. Liberals often lack the wherewithal to identify the less obvious machinations behind many of these public stances, and they firmly believe that their favorite companies are proof that their “high-minded” ideals are the key to a successful future.
That they love to attack conservative industries as evil and profiteering at the same time is mind boggling. Regardless, these are the companies and agendas that Liberals love the most.
Costco
The top corporate champion of the far left, Costco is a Seattle-based company that often takes a progressive stance on social issues. While they do occasionally align with Republicans when Democratic regulation threatens their profits, they still publicly face the other way.
One of the biggest narratives to come from Costco and their top brass has been support for higher minimum wages. Their model has enabled them to pay the bulk of employees above minimum wage levels (if only barely), and they have been quoted and used as an example to push the “fight for $15.” We’ve covered in depth just how dangerous this ideology is, and Costco is one of the leading corporate faces of the movement.
Microsoft
During his reign, Bill Gates did a reasonable job of staying out of the public view of politics. In private, though, he and his company have announced strong progressive ideologies. One of the more idiotic concepts from their origin has been research and development on lasers to kill mosquitoes in the fight against malaria.
While that merits its own ridiculous conversation, their stance on telecommunications regulation is much more disturbing. While they claimed to be fighting to keep the internet free from the tyranny of cable companies, they lobbied extensively for legislation that has essentially stopped telecommunications growth in the U.S., and they did it all to line their own pockets.
Apple
You won’t be surprised to see this tech giant here. Apple is probably the most overtly liberal company in the world. They’re quick to take sides in every political conversation, and Tim Cook even offered company-wide condolences when Trump won the presidency.
All of that aside, they rally dangerous cries in regards to data security and government cooperation. You may remember the scandal they had when they refused to cooperate with the FBI in a terrorist investigation, but they’ve actually taken things much further. Apple continuously sows seeds of distrust in all things related to security, while they simultaneously champion progressive regulations that threaten American freedom. In short, they are the cornerstone of liberal doublethink.
There’s a trend forming here, isn’t there? Tech companies are the root of the liberal notion that all conservatives are bumbling idiots. The college dropouts who made fortunes in the free market are quick to lobby for socialist movements that will squash competition.
Hypocrisy aside, Google’s most alarming voice is in the search engine itself. They have been shown repeatedly to favor leftist politics in search results, subtly influencing the masses to align with the party that most favors their profit margins. This is nothing short of insidious, and it has greatly contributed to the false notion that liberal politics are dramatically more popular in America.
Disney
Historically, Disney has been on either side of a large number of issues. It’s not fair to say that the company is an entrenched progressive champion, but in recent years they have pushed some dangerous narratives. The most notable has been their subtle, behind-the-scenes push to legalize illicit drugs.
Through media, monetary contributions and behind-doors scheming, Disney has contributed massively to the war on drug regulation. While it’s difficult to separate the company as a whole from high-ranking executives, the end result has been Disney maintaining one of the cornerstones of the movement.
You may notice that all of these companies are in pretty good shape financially. Apple may be in decline, but they still have a profitable forecast for the foreseeable future. These dangerous ideologies are unlikely to hurt revenue for any listed here.
On top of that, none of these companies have maintained exclusively progressive agendas. For the most part, raising wages and introducing regulatory obstacles for newcomers is good for their bottom line. This knowledge can just arm you against the rising notion that the liberal mindset is in any way superior—and which companies you may wish to boycott if you so choose.
