That's not how it works ...
Absence in a stance does not necessarily imply being political and the only group that this does 'effect' is from the viewpoint of pro-green supporters since the idea is still a very hard sell even among other progressive factions ...
By comparison, just about everyone thinks that industrialization was a godsend improvement for humanity and even the likes of India are looking to emulate China's success in widespread industrialization ...
Again, climate change only materially effects the pro-green group who are especially known to be fringe doomsayers and nobody else really seems to think it's a negative since it's far more worth it to industrialize ...
Greens do NOT represent the people so before they go speaking for them maybe they should get more voters behind them to be able to back their words ?

Nah. Sony should pat themselves on the back for taking one of many steps forwards. |
Seeing as how Sony has on more than one occasion acted in line with progressive politics, it isn't "just a few greener initiatives" but Sony are downright being arrogantly hardline progressive ...
And western society is more fragile than you think. For one, many democracies out there are 'illiberal' by nature. 'Liberal' democracy as seen in western civilizations in itself is an outlier since it has high maintenance costs ... (I think even real autocracies are more prevalent than liberal democracies ?)
If you want our system to be modeled so badly after Turkey or Russia where political interference runs rampant in everyday life just to achieve the selfish quest to combat climate change then be my guest but at that point your nation loses the ability to be 'liberal' due to such systematic interference hence why the examples I listed are still considered 'democracies' but they are not 'liberal' in any sense of the word due to the severe political restrictions placed on them ...
By no means is Sony setting a good example for other businesses or companies to follow and we shouldn't take our existing model for granted like that if we want a pristine and a harmonious society where people of differing political backgrounds can peacefully coexist instead of a one with political persecution ...

Conspiracy theory. Disregarding in it's entirety. |
Greens should build their own nation and experiment how far they can go without industrialization such as not having many factories or plants around ...
I think they need to secede first to see how well their plans work out ...
It's either the union or being green because they can't have both! (not especially when many people see industrialization as fundamental to modern civilization)
