I think at the moment both liberals and conservative have their darling companies that they like.

What company do you consider to be liberals' darling? I'm completely drawing a blank on this.

At best most companies can be considered neoliberal if you really want to pin a political agenda on them.

Company lobby is aimed at those in power. Republicans and democrats are both deeply affected as they are the leading parties as you might know.

In 2020-2021 the line "they're a private company and can choose what speech they host on their platform" was thrown around a lot to defend pre-Musk Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and loads of other social media sites.

Disney is adored by many for "standing up to DeSantis" and doing lots of inclusiveness pandering in their media. People seem to instantly forget that a corporation is literally evil the second some people get wound up over a black mermaid.

A really old meme would be the anti-capitalist who owns an iPhone and $2000 MacBook.

Lots of internet techies are excited about Microsoft acquiring Activision just because it means new video games will hit PC and Xbox quicker.

Speaking of Microsoft, while Bill Gates has become more controversial in recent years, he still has lots of people who love him for his philanthropy while nicely glossing over some of the sketchy stuff he's done like his association with Jeffery Epstein and how he has recently become the largest landowner in the US.

I'd say the defending of corporate censorship and defending giant corporations that support certain social issues would be the two most glaring offenders.

I mean, for the joke, Subaru and L.L. Bean are the obvious choices, but it's also the kind of joke where part of the joke is that it's also not a joke.

Apple. They are entrenched in fashion via ideas of privacy and ease of use. All liberals? No, that is a generalization.

🤣 What??? I despise both of those companies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeeeeah… i have an iphone not because i like apple or something, but because their silicon is genuinely the best low wattage performance at the moment, and their software is more stable.

Both of these can change any day and I wouldn’t stick around. Brand loyalty is for chumps.

Maybe conservatives assume liberals like apple because apple greenwashes their company with their ads?

I thought people made fun of them for suicide nets and incidents like workers having to sleep in factories. Or at least used to, I haven't been keeping touch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yeah both suck
