Not one thing you mentioned is far left by any description.

Literally all of them are. Netflix has Obama making films. Co founders funding Gavin Newsom's campaigns.

Even CNBC a left leaning news source, classifies Netflix as among the most liberal.

Disney is not left leaning?

Obviously the rest of the humans sharing the planet with you think they are:

I won't bother continuing, because this is boring at this point, but at least you could search before responding.

That's subjective. Matters of opinion aren't part of an education, hopefully you agree. And firmly, I disagree with your opinion on what far left is, but I'm happy to hear yours.

I didn't say liberals are far left, by the way, I consider myself to be one. But since you are bringing it up, I will specify that I think modern liberalism is very far left when compared with 90s liberalism, for example.

Even in light of all that, this is a surprising comment. If the rest of the items you listed aren't far left, what is far left to you? Do I dare ask?

PS.

>Please educate yourself.

Is your intention to claim that your education is exceptional above a likelihood of most others you encounter on HN? You may want to think about that.

It isn't subjective. Those corporations aren't far-left even by US standards, where Bernie Sanders would be considered center-right in a global context.

Get an education for your own sake.

You mean the mainstream articles I posted didn't agree with you? You may want to follow up your argument with citation. That's what would be expected in educated discourse.

But you know that already. You're educated.

Did you know that mainstream articles aren't actual research and are made for mass-consumption rather than reporting factual information?

Might want to actually learn something.

		I'm not citing the article's content, I'm citing its existence. That's perfectly valid not just for academic research, but in any scientific forum. The articles are a self admission of political leanings. If Disney can't be trusted to tell you themselves what their political leanings have been, then nothing can convince you. That's by definition an unscientific approach and it's obviously not exemplary of a good education to say the least. I'm not interested in continuing. Thanks.
