It's really hard to start a post like this, so I'll just jump into it.
The reason why companies keep lurching to the left cannot be solely some grand elite agenda, because there's no way somebody invited Devolver Digital or some of the other low-tier names that went hard left to the supposed Great Reset meetings.
So why do they do it? Simple. We have short memories, accept apologies too easily and don't double down. They, on the other hand, have the MeToo movement to cancel people who cross them, they boycott effectively and easily due to a lack of targets and they always remember trivial details of when and how people stepped over their line.
Look at the thread about the Five Nights at Freddie's guy, his politics wasn't openly stated, but they tracked down his beliefs and went to war.
I know people are going to say "Why should we take a lecture from someone who buys from CCP-owned Epic Games", but attacking me doesn't make this shit less true.
We need clear red lines. We need an actual maintained and permanent list of companies that crossed us. I made the Female Supremacy Day Shame List 2021, but that's just a start, and I'm sure people disagree with me attacking even the most basic gestures towards that movement as unforgivable, so I don't believe I'd be the best person to be managing the actual list.
You can’t control what others do, but you can control what you do. Some things can’t be boycotted, like when your electric company doles $10 million to BLM.
Live your life by a simple rule - try your hardest not to give money to people who hate you.
I haven’t bought an EA game since Madden 25. I canceled Amazon in January and haven’t used it or been to Whole Foods since then. I used Gillette razors since they sent me a free razor in the ‘90’s but switched when they went woke and stopped buying Tide, Charmin and Bounty as well when they went woke. I quit religiously watching NFL in 2016 or thereabouts.
There are some things that are unavoidable, but there are plenty you can control.
