See, that’s the single „nice“ thing about the fascists taking over the country — you can see which companies really meant to make a change, and which companies merely swam with the current.

I think that’s his point - it’s now clear who was only pretending to care. Who actually sticks to their guns, when it’s no longer politically or economically expedient to do so? The ones who actually hold the values they espoused.

Personally, I’d rather see performative goodness than honest badness, but that’s probably a result of having been helped by the former and harmed by the latter.

Correct, that’s my point. I don’t even have a pro- or anti-DEI stance.

That’s a very US thing, and I‘m not informed enough to form an opinion.

It’s the „who sticks to their guns?“ part that I find interesting.

Because that’s a very universal thing.
