Why do big tech companies tend to be left wing? At the end of the day, most large shareholders with significant voting power mainly care about maximizing shareholder value/ profit. So why are left wing politics good for big tech financially?

I'm not sure what you mean by left wing. truth is there is no real left in america, especially not in corporations. what I assume you mean is that these companies espouse plurality. and to this I would say it's in their best interests in order to open up a sufficiently sizable labor force to carry out the work they need done while simultaneously driving down the cost of that labor.

You're a retard. Just like how a free, unregulated, unlimited supply of workers is bad for people already in the workforce, the free market is bad for corporations already in the economy. Why would they want more competition? Large corporations push for more left wing shit the same reasons why workers want a smaller workerforce.

if you are talking about companies like google and facebook.

There's two elements to this.

First is, why do these companies have diversity quotas and so forth? It's because people have bought into the idea that the more diverse a workplace the more productive a workplace because different kinds of people bring different ideas to the table and the best ideas will win out.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212567114001786

They have failed to read the fine print that, once past a certain level of diversity production actually goes down rather than up. But that's the reason.

Another reason is that having a diverse workplace ensures that they can understand as many markets as possible. So, for example, if the company has no muslims as employees then they won't be able to effectively sell their product to muslims because they will not understand the particular expectations and preferences that particular market segment has. By hiring muslims, they get that perspective.

The second is, why do they support things like mass immigration and multiculturalism and identity politics and so on? And the reason is simply that a higher population means more consumers, and more consumers means more customers, and more customers means more profits. Also they have more demographics to target.

TLDR: it's *all* about maximizing profits, they don't actually give a shit about left wing politics

Wage suppression for pareto distribution. If the pareto distribution of workers at a company actually got the exponential gains from increased productivity, the entire company would collapse as the best people would retire or leave. Look at early google employees. Look at wage suppression for engineers from Ed Catmull et al.

So they have to sell a lie of equality in order to enforce wage suppression and not lose their best people.

1. They're mostly represented by their female-dominated HR and PR teams. The former are retards, the latter need to impress a larger audience so they have to bullshit normies into believing they're left wing.
2. High taxation and regulations can guarantee a monopoly position in a competitive market. A large company can afford to spend millions on good lawyers and accountants, a startup can't/

Because tech is progress and progress is the right way.

You need to be left wing and progressive to have an open mind to innovate and embrace a new future.
