Are tech bro billionaires pushing religion so that when they make everyone unemployed via automation people won't try to resist being made to starve to death on the promise they'll go to heaven?

>>82076447 (OP)
That was the scam since day 1. "Don't worry about the bad people, just be good and you'll be rewarded and they'll be punished... after death of course."

>>82076841
nearly all the religions mandate punishment for the bad people in this life.

I guess the new modern religion of leftism is the only exception though. They tend to view criminals as oppressed and that you shouldn't punish them.

most tech bro billionaires are in the modern leftist religion though

>>82076878
Yeah all the Trump-loving tech bros are leftists, makes perfect sense

>>82076902
90% of the tech bros are leftists though...

>>82076878
Yeah punish the plebeians who misbehave, not the truly evil elites.

>>82076999
it would be anti-semitic to punish the evil elites

B- BUT THE LEFT
holy SHIT that's impressive

>tech bro billionaires pushing religion
Who is this, besides Peter Thiel who is vaguely Protestant?

>>82077036
A lot of the e/acc crowd seem to be pushing it, Musk in particular was vaguely pushing it as well.

>>82076913
Most are libertarian technocrats, not really leftists.

>>82077081
this is HIGHLY doubtful. "Libertarian technocrats" would not donate to Kamala harris at the massive clip they did.

Google employees aren't techbros lol

>>82076878
Leftists view it as class struggle with the rich being bad and poors being good. Poors commit the most crime but they're good people ergo they only commit the crime because of the conditions the rich impose on them. They do the same with race and gender so white men are in charge meaning they're the enemy and queer black transwomen are the good guys. It's a coherent world view even if it's reductive and stupid. It's not a religion any more than any political ideology is religion though.

I think people are just tired of the cult of progressivism
They know what happens when progressives get in charge

All the big tech companies banned trump as sitting president for the last 2 weeks of his prior administration

>>82077411
Yeah that's simply capitalism at work, now they're sucking Trump's dick hard since he won

>>82077485
How were they profiting by banning Trump and alienating half the country 4 and a half years ago?

>>82077512
Were you not around back then? The prevailing culture was very progressive and the loudest voices were from the left. That's why all those companies had Pride floats and were putting transgender people into ads. Now the prevailing culture is not progressive and all those companies are distancing from Pride, transgender people, DEI, etc. Corporations just do what they think will make money.

>>82077537
So half the country voted for Trump, and half the country voted for Biden in 2020
They banned Trump off all their platforms, and the half of the country that voted for him felt like these platforms were antagonistic to people like them, so they stopped using those websites
How did this make the corporation more money? What do you mean by "that is simply capitalism" when you are acting in such a way you will lose half your customers?

>>82077512
Do you remember Trump was incredibly unpopular and lost?

>>82076447 (OP)
>>82076878
>muh leftists
they don't need to push shit because retards like you eat everything up with no resistance lmfao

>>82077569
It didn't lose any customers. Anti woke social medias never made money.

>>82077575
Donald Trump won more votes in 2020 then Kamala Harris won in 2024
He's been pretty consistent over the last 3 elections in terms of support, it was just there was millions of mail in ballots that came in for Biden at 3am

>>82077638
Prove ithey lost customers when all conservative social medias have flopped hard

>>82077569
Look at Target, they went all in on woke stuff, there was a backlash from the conservatives, they walked away from it, and then there was a backlash from the progressives. They lost some conservative customers from doing that and a ton of progressive customers and are now doing fairly poorly just look at their stock. Corporations do things like this a lot where they have a knee jerk reaction to something and end up worse off for it. You're acting like they carefully planned things out and that's not the case. They just thought they would make more by virtue signalling to one side or the other and ended up being wrong. Also none of these companies lost half their customers, even Target which is probably the worse off from all this only got hit for like 1% of revenue. Most people don't give a fuck about any of this regardless of who they voted for.

>he thinks land votes
Conservacucks are so retarded

Here is the stock prices of Anheuser-Busch InBev Stock. The Bud Light boycotts didn't help them but they're not bankrupt

>>82077792
States votes. That's why we have an electoral college

>>82077829
Also note that they recovered quickly and virtually every alcohol company is also not doing great at the moment due to declining demand across the board. Check BOOZE on TradingView for example.

Within a state land doesn't vote and even within the EC population matters to some extent.
