      I’m more concerned about “anti-rainbow” capitalism. Like what’s happening right now where instead of being performatively progressive they become performatively reactionary. (Well, I suppose that’s just reactionary.)

      Basically what I mean is I want rainbow capitalism to exist, but in a very specific way: I want rainbow capitalism to be the bare minimum a company has to implement if they want to exist. I want the social circumstances to force them to at least pretend to be on the right side of history.

      Honestly, the real problem in rainbow capitalism is the capitalism part.

        The point is, is that it doesn’t matter. Companies are not true allies, they just do whatever earn them the most money and PR

        If it means to become literal Nazis, then they become literal Nazis. And sell the supplies to the gas chambers

          For sure. It was more of a “yes, and” than disagreement. Profit is such a vile incentive, literally why we can’t have nice things.
