Q But why is that coverage so weird? Is it people who are running Lockheed Martin? They're afraid that if they do stand up, they're going to be made an example of, and they're going to lose contracts. Like, or like, like what, all these media institutions are They're afraid people are going to leave. Like, like, why isn't there courage?
A Well, I think the cynical answer, right, the answer that sort of the anti-woke left, um, the Marxist left would give you is that this is all a cynical ploy to pit us against one another based on identity and race and to distract from the real battle, which is about class. And if a company can say, look, we're doing this diversity and inclusion, you know, people won't think about the financials and the rest. I do think there is something to that. I think that there in some way, this is just kind of like an incredible distraction because isn't it easier for Amazon, let's say, or Facebook to put out a statement about DNI than it is for them to confront the fact that they're increasingly monopolistic. I mean, so that's the cynical read.
