the essence of modern day leftism is coca cola sending their employees to a seminar to learn to be less white.

why do big companies support leftism? there's the immediate tactical angle of wanting to become more attractive to leftist consumers and employees. this isn't politically balanced because obviously leftists control all media and education making leftism the "cool" thing to think, and second of all because leftists are the most politicized people of all. thus far more likely to support gillette for taking a stand against "toxic masculinity", meanwhile rightists can't be bothered to switch razors over such a trifle.

another concern is simply general exposure and image formation. if a company were to not take a leftist stance they could be promoted less in media and they could quickly end up becoming uncool. say they don't come out in favor of BLM while everyone of their competitors do. some journalist calls attention to this, he gets clicks because people love to rage, tv writers see this, form bad will towards the company and thus may refrain from mentioning it in their shows or feature it in a negative way.

yet another motivation arises from the interplay between government and private business. big companies in the west often receiving government funding, government contracts, government grants etc. these are interactions that are extremely important for them. this of course varies by industry but it certainly applies to a number of them. here we have yet another potent valve through which leftism may seep into corporations driven by rational but hidden incentives.
