It's super easy

If you invest, your email is full of "proxy vote" invitations. Look the people they're asking for votes on up, find linkedin or twitter, if it's full of pictures at feminist conventions and preaching about diversity, vote no. If we all do it, we can make a change in these companies.

I love the approach and advocate everyone act appropriately.

That said, the banksters and global institutions control the majority of shares for any given company's stock. They're not shy about installing "their guy". So don't act surprised when your vote gets dwarfed by their votes. Continue being the voice of reason and opposition to enslaving humanity..

For sure, I've seen it happen, but a core mechanic of how they get what they want is that 99% of the "non-institutional" investors don't bother voting. One more example of collectivism vs individualism: we make the individual choice that our tiny fraction of a share isn't worth voting on, and then in aggregate the big institutions make all the choices despite holding a minority of the shares.

Also, they don't need a reason, if they get enough rejections on one or two particularly bad candidates, they'll follow the rules for posterity. It's if we start getting whole boards rejected that they'll change the rules up. A couple rounds of yeeting 1 or 2 bad executives could prevent the next industry from swinging ultra-woke.

I've enjoyed watching the software people learn their lesson, but we don't want this happening to semiconductor.
