You’re off the mark in this point. The mentality was if they convince businesses to arbitrarily pay women and negroes more, and since women and negroes are more susceptible to marketing, when those groups are the majority of paying commerce it will redirect back up to the DEI companies that pander to those groups.

They thought they were going to make money. The logic went like this:

  1. We control capital in America
  2. Therefore nobody can succeed without us
  3. If we force everyone to go DEI to get capital, all products will have DEI
  4. There is no way we can lose money because there will be nothing else to buy
  5. Also, women and negroes are just as competent as white men, so product quality won't suffer
They were wrong about (4) and (5). It wasn't part of the plan; they were just that dumb.

Weren't they also counting on the US to bail them out once the money runs dry?

No, it wasn't. When a woman is installed as a VP of a mining equipment company, it's not because anybody thinks women are going to start buying ore carriers and generators. It's not because there's a secret plan to start marketing more designer handbags to her. It's because the CEO and board are so high on their own farts and so removed from how the mining equipment business works that they genuinely think adding more women to the C-suite will improve the company.

They didn't think the money would run dry. They thought they'd set up a self-funding social justice machine.

You have to remember that the people who make all these decisions aren't secretly racists. You and I know that putting diversity hires in charge means product quality will slip. They don't know that. Or didn't. Maybe some of them have figured it out by now.

They still have control of the mainstream media, publishing houses and retail. It’s just that control means nothing today.

A massive miscalculation is that there's no such thing as a captive audience in entertainment. Entertainment products compete with literally every single other thing you could do with your free time, up to and including watching bugs crawl around the grass.

And on this point is why everyone should resist in any way possible the death of physical media. Right now I have a closet full of 5 generations of video games, and so many books I've had to start stacking them in piles on the floor.

My biggest regret is selling the majority of my DVD collection when I got Netflix a decade ago, but I'm slowly building it back up (and it's surprisingly cheap because most people are still all in on streaming services).

6) A Democratic-controlled federal government and all of its USAID-funded media/censorship NGOs/attack dogs will silence the opposition and enforce strict narrative control.

Trump disrupted their plans. Points #1 - #6 were supposed to happen under eight years of Hillary, and then her Democratic successor.

Its stock is at $1000+ a share as of now. The lost trillions slowly come back through other ways.

They didn't factor in:
How Corporations are really incompetent with their hiring practices
The people they're targeting (leftists, modern audiences) don't buy and support anything
When you treat customers like shit, they will not support your business
How many bail outs they will need to do for these companies when their DEI and ESG goals flop

A bank can only bail you out so many times when you're a big corporation, and we're seeing Hollywood and companies like Disney and Sony lose money.

They didn't factor in how incompetent corporations are with their hiring practices. Who would have known gender study majors suck at brand marketing or even welding? Who would have known diversity hires are usless if your company is infamous for its turnovers?

Banks don't ever bail you out. Only the federal government is happy to throw piles of money down a rathole with zero expectation of returns.

What's the point of that if the IP was proven to be a failure?

Because the copyright system is completely retarded, so if you don't zealously guard every scrap of your IP (even shit nobody cares about like Concord) it could be used as a precedent for people who want to rip off your other IPs.

It's the same reason they DMCA stuff like the Bloodborne PS1 demake, despite that obviously being no kind of direct competition with their own products.

That only applies to trademarks. You can completely ignore 999,999 people infringing your copyright and then sue the millionth. It's completely irrelevant. You lose trademarks because they identify the source of a product. If they no longer identify a product, that's on you.
 
Oliver Onions said:
Thanks for the correction, I always get the two mixed up. Google says Sony still holds a trademark for Concord though so I assume what I said still applies, just in regard to that instead of copyright?

If a word isn't unique, trademark protection is pretty limited. For instance, there are 6,000 registered trademarks containing "Concord," and something just under a third of them still "live." You might not be able to make a similar videogame with the same title, but they don't really own the word.

A trademark also has to be used continuously in commerce, be renewed after 10 years, and "dies" after three years of being unused in commerce, that is, "abandoned." So unless Sony wants to remind people of this shameful failure, odds are good they abandon it outright.

They also didn't factor in how the proverbial Ship of Theseus will no longer be the same if you merely substitute people with other people, doesn't matter who with who.

Substituting healthy stuff with ersatz alternatives, because things are just atoms, genders are human constructs and people are just numbers, seems to be a running theme with Big Faggotry... uh, with Big Faggotry anything. All for that sweet gross domestic product, baby.
