The Axis of Wokeness

Big business and the far left have formed an Axis of Wokeness in opposition to the American right. After years of serving as useful idiots to multinational corporations, the right has no longer any reason to support globalism.

Jefferson

A consistent liberal?


The Chaos of a Hillary Clinton Presidency: Corporate Dominion and Open Rebellion by Richard W. Behan

Reform is neither difficult nor unprecedented. Our history displays a number of means of subordinating corporate interests to the welfare of the American people. More than a century ago—in the “Gilded Age”—the nation faced a similar crisis and dealt with it successfully. And a century before that, effective mechanisms were in place to restrain corporate dominion, even though the threat of it was already visible.

This is what Thomas Jefferson said about the issue: “I hope we shall crush… in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

Note Jefferson’s concern was merely prospective, wary of potential. Corporate enterprise was not yet dominant, only pushing to be. At the time, corporations were very strongly circumscribed, to assure their subservience to public well-being. Perhaps Jefferson feared they would escape the control mechanisms early corporations faced:

*they were chartered for a limited period of time, typically twenty years

*they were chartered for a single specific purpose, say to construct a toll road

*the charter could be revoked if the corporation’s behavior violated public interests

*stockholders, directors, and officers of the corporation were personally responsible for the corporation’s obligations or transgressions

* a corporation could not buy or otherwise merge with another corporation

Mr. Jefferson’s fears were realized.

As the 1800’s progressed corporations in America—particularly the great railroads—fought vigorously and successfully to have these constraints relaxed, and all of them were. The corporate structure escaped any meaningful public control.

Eventually corporations could grow without limit by absorbing others; they could live in perpetuity; they could undertake multiple tasks and change them at will. Personal liability was limited to a pittance, and charter revocation virtually disappeared. Then, in 1866, corporations as artificial persons became legal persons: the Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad extended the rights of U.S. citizenship to corporate entities. They were granted equal protection under the law, their rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. (The grant of legal personhood, Thom Hartmann discovered, was technically illegal, but it has endured. See his book, Unequal Protection.)

Coca Cola: Why Corporations are Our Enemies

There is a Coke commercisl featuring a mom giving her young son some cokes so he can use them as an icebreaker to talk to a young girl at a dance. It played before a movie last month; I can't find it online, so I don't know how old it is. Where's the father to tell his son to man up or gie him some age-appropriate advice? nowhere to be seen. Instead, the boy is taught to offer the girl a drink. How beta is that?
And moms can feel like they can take dad's by purchasing a product for their sons to use, rather than giving him the proper guidance. What a joke.

And then there's its #MakeItHappy campaign...


Looking at the channel and its advertising in different languages, Coca Cola Global is spreading "sweet American goodness" around the world and the modern distorted notion of Christmas, focused exclusively on family. (And of course none of the Spanish commercials feature non-whites.)

Someone linked to this commercial, which was released last year, on FB.



Props for Guinness because it meant well, even though America's wars of the last century is a more controverted issue, especially with the questionable relationship to Independence Day? (As opposed to Memorial or Veterans Day.) Then I remember the decision it made to withdraw sponsorship of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC because SJW. (Its ad for the holy day.) No thanks to the manipulation of emotions for the sake of profit.

What else should we expect from large multinational corporations? Their loyalty is to mammon, and endorsing the proposition nation serves that end.

Corporations are not friends of the polity, and their use of mass media for advertising also furthers an ideology at the same time.
