On Wednesday, a new conservative coalition launched a website aimed at combatting “woke” capital and cancel culture. StopCorporateTyranny.org aims to educate Americans on the dangers of far-Left advocacy in corporate America and equip them to fight back against the swelling tide of the “woke” inquisition. The coalition, Back to Neutral, includes organizations and leaders fed up with the Left weaponizing big business to achieve its political goals.
“We’ve watched with growing concern the Left’s efforts to infiltrate corporate boardrooms and use that power to force their agenda on Americans everywhere,” Justin Danhof, general counsel at the National Center for Public Policy Research, said in a statement on the launch. “We are drawing a line. It’s time to hold corporate America accountable for canceling conservatives. We seek to restore a healthy understanding of, and respect for, liberty, free enterprise, and American culture, all of which is being corrupted by corporate oligarchs.”
From Disney’s double standard in firing Gina Carano to Amazon’s shameful reliance on the Southern Poverty Law Center, it seems corporations are bowing to the radical Left’s orthodoxy with abandon. In fact, a large coalition has already gathered to boycott Georgia over its voter integrity bill.
“Whether under the guise of ‘ESG’ (environmental, social and governance), ‘wokeness’ or ‘stakeholder capitalism,’ make no mistake, all these terms are just cover for liberals weaponizing big business to achieve their radical, political goals,” Steve Soukup, author of the new book The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business, said in a statement on the website launch.
Back to Neutral will use grassroots activism, media outreach, and social media advertising to pressure corporations to stop engaging in activities that undermine Freedom enterprise, individual liberty, limited government, free speech, and the rule of law.

All the corporations that are woke are backing the Biden Obama tax plan to increase all of our taxes (and theirs too). It helps keep upstarts down.
bump!
Impossible as long as we remain fascist. Giant Corporations and government are now fully in a symbiotic relationship with government. They get special protections, advantages and subsidies. In return they happy do things more problematic for government such as domestic spying, surveillance, and censorship of the opposition to the junta.
Until that iron bond is broken this effort can only fall.
Essentially, we are no longer the true customers of giant corporations, government is now their customer. We are the product. The giant corporations see us as 6% of the market or whatever. Globalist authoritarian government and open borders gives them access to the world.
They are happy to be enforcers of the junta now and find it profitable. This is why they jumped in on Georgia and the voter ID law. Government finds that a hard fight. For corporations it’s easy. And they will reap benefits from the gratitude of the DC junta.
Impossible as long as we remain fascist. Giant Corporations and government are now fully in a symbiotic relationship with government.
______________________________________________
At some level business and government will be mutually supportive. It’s not the sign of an imperfect society. It’s inherent in society itself. The proper government will, however, not allow big business to unduly coerce the general public. Right now multi-national corporations and government have an agenda that only doesn’t broadly benefit honest, law-abiding, and hard-working citizens. It just narrowly benefits some of the factions that make up their party, and pretty mauch harms everyone else.
We are far beyond that. We are in a full fascist symbiotic relationship where each cannot survive without the other. The ruling junta in DC must have the support of corporations to suppress dissent, and to even get involved into projects like attacking voter ID in Georgia.
The corporations need the junta to protect them from putting America first, to allow them to use slave labor, and to give them massive amounts of government money.
We are far beyond mutually supportive. That was what we had in the 1950s when the Chamber of commerce wanted fair laws, fair courts, and decent men getting onto office. The Government wanted a decent standard of living and a good overall business environment. Both agreed America was special and should be put first. Neither would have agreed to bump the bottom line by killing America.
Mutually supportive is long gone. US Corporations and Government are in a full powered fascist arrangement Mussolini would instantly recognize.
As early as 1910, the NY Times (then a reasonable voice) observed that when government controls business, business will control government.
I have the exact quotation somewhere, but that’s the idea.
It should be easy to show collusion against these various tech companies. Big money to be made.
