      I mean, I too, find this cringe! But also: is it...bad to start off acknowleding the people that used to occupy the land? Does it hurt anyone to do that?

      I find it extra offensive that a company with ~$140 billion cash-on-hand that it doesn’t know what to do with doesn’t match this with something concrete. Native Americans are poorest communities. It doesn’t even occur to them to attach, say, a billion to this “acknowledgment”.

          Yes this critique seems by far the most resonant salient to me.

          She says the indigenous people whose ancestors owned the land where the HQ is are still here. So if MSFT actually feels bad about it, give the land back. Or pay them fair market value for it.

          For some, social justice is about acts, but for others, faith alone is sufficient.

          Yes I think acts are far more important (though the describing oneself for visually impaired folks is an act!)

          It’s just the perfect mixture of faux gesture and insult, almost gratuitously so. They could’ve anticipated all this and shut it all up with money in their couch cushions. Even the PR people don’t think of that, even strategically, because human beings aren’t in this picture.

          anticipated what? 🤔 yes because the VCs (like the guy who tweeted the video) who think you’re a genius are doing that no? Great people supposedly silently helping them unlike the virtue signalers.

          Land acknowledgements like this have been standard before most public events across Canada for several years. I think also in US Pacific NW? I mean, it's certainly true that MS should give financial support! But this routine statement isn't a special reason to do so.

          Exactly, they’re buying woke insurance. Corporations look like good guys to liberal activists by supporting socially progressive policies so there’ll be less pressure on them to accept economically progressive policy. Conservatives see what’s going on, progressives do not. pic.twitter.com/0r0HbR1IMD
