Google and other major corporations will try garner goodwill by supporting ideas that they want people to think of them as. Its the same with pride support and green washing.
If you as an American ( I assume) believe that Google is positioned to the left, l’d say you basically proove the point of there not being a left in the US
Even though Google knows it’s facing backlash for said views? It’s been a decade and they still flagship “left” streams of thought, posting videos about them on YouTube every two instances, typically with the comments/ratings disabled as a defense mechanism. What is that garnering? On at least three occasions they had a Google doodle of people who outright celebrated terrorism and 9/11 as steps in the right direction. Definitely not typical PR.

Could you share exambles of these?
Also could you link to the youtube videos of them promoting left orientated thought and actions?
Holly f*ck man!
Celebrating Karl Marx’ birthday (or any other socialist, communist or left orientated personality) does NOT make Google left orientated!
It’s like I said, them trying to appeal to a wider customer range, just like supporting LGBT+ and environmental activists
You asked for examples and I gave some, did I not? They extend said support to presidential candidates on the same part of the spectrum as the celebrated individuals, is that not “left”, or is it only “left” when a certain group at the very end of the spectrum (by whose standards?), who ironically would be necessary in the population for Google to even be incentivized to make those drawings in the first place, is raised up? Maybe it’s worth asking at this point, how big is the spectrum? Do you see any other groups with a reputation on that part of the spectrum (e.g. anarchists, green adherents, anti-natalism, etc.) having this discussion? If you lived in a monarchy like many people in the world still do, would the same mode of thinking not posit there is neither “a true left” nor “a true right”?
As mentioned earlier, they will try to appeal to as wide a customer range as possible. As long as it doesn’t cost them too many from the opposite side.
I can’t even handle that we are sitting here discussing if Google is oriented to the left, simply because they occasionally celebrate individuals from the left! come on!
The whole point of some of what I mentioned (aside from the fact it goes deeper than the last line in your reply just now) was that it goes outside what anyone would do if that described what all of this was about. They are too far down the road of costing them, but being the same Google that is immortalized as the absolute lord of household names in the developed world, it’s nothing more than a scratch on them. Go to their official YouTube channels if you don’t believe me, tell about the comments sections there. If they were, as many say, “for the people”, then they wouldn’t be handling the actual people how they are.

Consider it done.
