The Left has taken away all of the neutral cultural ground. This is why brands like Bud Light and Nike are giving endorsement deals to a dude in a dress. In the past, a beer company could basically be culturally neutral. But the Left has declared that you are either with them or against them. The "silence is violence" principle. So the brands have a choice. They can be baptized into wokeism and openly worship at the LGBT altar, or they can by default align themselves with conservatives. What do they do? Well, the Left will do everything in their power (and they have a lot of power) to make them pay dearly for disloyalty. Piss off the Right, on the other hand, and you'll have to deal with some angry tweets and then nothing else will happen. It's an easy choice.
"Go woke go broke" is the lamest right wing cope of all time. It's not even close to true. It should but it isn't. By sheer numbers we have the power to inflict severe financial damage on companies that spit in our faces, but we don't. The brands know that we don't.
We're so behind in the culture war that nearly every company is woke now. We can't boycott them all, which is a fact conservatives use as an excuse to do nothing. This attitude infects the Right.
"If we try to solve this problem, there will still be this other problem over here, so why bother at all?" It's the loser's mantra.
Here's what we should do: Pick a victim, gang up on it, and make an example of it. We can't boycott every woke company or even most of them. But we can pick one, it hardly matters which, and target it with a ruthless boycott campaign. Claim one scalp then move onto the next.
The problem is that many conservatives don't have the stomach or attention span for this. And our political "leaders" are almost completely useless. There is a way to win real victories. We just need a little grit and a little follow through.
@MattWalshBlog Many conservatives are already doing this. For example, I haven't bought Ben & Jerry's for years. When I found out Entenmann's financed the Clintons I stopped buying them as well. I would gladly boycott Bud Light, but it's so awful I already don't buy it.
@MattWalshBlog We talking white woke companies or Black woke companies?
@MattWalshBlog One day you will find it but until then, the search continues, Matt.
@MattWalshBlog You don't believe the proverbial "invisible hand" is a better way to deal with it? Let the market determine if stuff like this is really what consumers want? Would that not be more effective long term than normalizing a gang mentality?
@MattWalshBlog It's more important for Conservatives to change party, run for office, then switch back. Time to play dirty against their dirty tricks.
@MattWalshBlog Pick a victim and move the funds into crypto. Leave legacy finance and control your own finances again. Buying stocks is trolling at this point when it consistently loses to crypto returns by magnitudes. We should be leaving legacy finance in droves towards freedom money.
