I hate when people applaud shitty institutions for caving to activist pressure and doing “the right thing.” The shitty institutions don’t deserve the applause. The activists do.

Character, integrity, straight honesty, expressed with sincerity. It's insulting to listen to this Republican dribble, while Trump dismantled 75 years of sticking together for democracy and the rule of the law to keep it almost sane. A sane society wouldn't invest in weapons companies.
Unfortunately people generally favor institutions and hierarchies rather than activists. Because activists are usually viewed to some extent as rabble rousers.
I totally get that. Strategically, though, it's probably necessary for keeping them doing the things you want. If they don't perceive any benefit to themselves of doing the right thing, it gets harder to make them do the right thing.

exactly - I goto the doctor, they complement me on my FINE blood pressure, I remind them I am on meds for that which they gave me... I guess I get credit for taking the pills?
"hurray! the democrats gave us right!" no they didnt we had to force their hands every single time. "hurray this store said they would pledge to be nicer to gays" no they wont and also the store should have been doing that anyway
If you don’t reward good behavior then it won’t continue. Especially when the overarching system provides no incentives for it, and actually incentivizes the opposite.

Which is why push back matters. The people are always the heros.
Don’t stay home.
