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.

Ah yes, the classic - a European guy who was born in Europe, lives in Europe, works in Europe, who's decided to come to a US-based forum, to a thread about a US-based company, that breaks multiple rules, to add in their political take / rant about the supposed "fascist take over" of the US. Surely this is really constructive, surely this is what belongs here.

So… I‘m not allowed to have and express an opinion about the state of affairs in the US, because I‘m from Europe?

And why doesn’t this belong here, exactly? Don’t you think it’s interesting to see how quickly all those companies rudder back their DEI stuff as soon as the weather gets a bit rough — the very same DEI stuff that supposedly was so important and central to their identity and mission just a few months ago?

Do you want to know what doesn’t belong here? Ad hominem attacks.

If you don’t share my opinion, attack me on the content of my post, not on my geographic location.

And yes, whether the US is going into the direction of becoming a fascist state or not is totally up to debate.

But I guess we can all agree: something changed since January.

And it’s interesting, and relevant data, to see which companies stand their previous ground, and which don’t.
