Comment on How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To Value

Never believe that corporations ever cared about pesky things like human rights or that all human lives have value.
No corporations started hiring and selling products to women, to people of color, to LGBTQ+ groups because it made them more money. They never cared about any of these groups at all or their rights. They just knew that not hiring the best workers from each group and not being willing to sell them products was leaving money on the table.
So really the decision here follows from that same logic. They hid behind neutrality while keeping the person who made them more money. As sad as it is to say, this is the same logic that got them to accept and sell products to these groups to begin with. In the end, it’s literally always been about money and nothing else. They hide behind lofty values as a PR move, and nothing else deeper than that. It’s always just been propaganda to increase profits.
The only color they care about is green.
