      Because they all support diversity, equity, woke etc, which are leftist movements in the USA. They advertise for positions always stating these movements. Why do you think they support the right wing?

        Corporations support whichever way the wind is blowing. They don’t care about ethics, they care about money.

        For a long time in the western world, diversity was considered good PR, so that’s what they did. It builds up as corporations compete with each other to be the most diverse, the most as you might call it ‘woke’.

        Now since the wind in the US is blowing the other way, some western corporations are following suit, some will follow the EU’s lead and keep diversity but at a lower level.

        That’s just a surface level analysis. The moment LGBT people started being accepted, not because of people’s benevolence but because of much fighting and struggle to be accepted and recognized, capitalism realized that we could be marketed to, that we were just another profit source, so it started reacting accordingly, that’s why terms like Rainbow Capitalism exists.

        You can easily see this every pride month were companies will change their logos to pride themed ones, unless it’s in a country where being LGBT is illegal. We are only a concern as long as we are profitable.

        Furthermore it is not that companies are inherently right wing, but rather that they are a part of capitalism which is in itself a right wing system.
