That explains why everybody is talking about philanthropy, LGBT, women's rights, diversity, racism and whatever instead of maybe paying their janitors and other low ranking staff a living wage.
And I'd say the reason for this is twofold:
1. Making social issues the big topic of discussion means millionaires, celebrities and companies can pretend to be 'progressive' while not actually doing anything meaningful to make the world better or help people escape poverty.
2. Stuff like Occupy likely scared the hell out of those with power/property/whatever, which led to a mission to get people fighting among themselves rather than against those with actual power.
Today, nationalist groups and media in the US receive millions of dollars in support.
I can't help but think someone took a look over at how Europeans neutralized dissent and thought they had a good thing going.
But that might impact revenue.
