  • Gaslighting central

    Let’s pooh-pooh the massive corporate voting power and control of fund managers - they just couldn’t do anything self-serving. Their hearts are so pure, and they wield their unchecked power only for the good of all. ESG is love and purity. Let’s mock incessantly anyone who dares to question this. We must defend the big funds that control the votes from everyone’s retirement accounts and pensions. They just love everyone- just like Chairman Mao.
