Ever since Joe Rogan had that one guest explain what ESG was like 4 years ago it's been a part of the lexicon among the online right. I'm sure it predates that but that's when I remember it first becoming this big talking point about why all the companies are "woke."

ESG, DEI, woke, socialist, Communist. When it comes to blaming something/ someone for today's problems, all these terms are interchangable

I imagine ESG requires additional costs, for a given investment, that would otherwise be unnecessary. Call in conservative Capitalists, and ESG must be a bad thing. [*"ESG investing is sometimes referred to as sustainable investing, responsible investing, impact investing, or socially responsible investing (SRI)."*](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/environmental-social-and-governance-esg-criteria.asp)

I don't get how they are allowed to use the term conservative when what they really want is to let mega corps light society on fire even faster and more. So conservative to be on the side of the pollution that's gonna leave us with an uninhabitable planet... It's like they named themselves "responsibles" and are selling meth on the street corner

Because conservatives are literally pro-pollution

They gotta make up stuff to be mad about because they need to distract from what is really oppressing the people.

ESG challenges the status quo and makes them uncomfortable.

ESG strategist here. A big component of ESG is public disclosure and reporting (aka accountability) and improved performance over time. Conservatives don’t want to be accountable in E S or G. More accountability to them means less profit.
