Hedge Funds like Blackrock subsidize woke through ESG investing, so that they interrupt the 'get Woke, go broke' cycle-- what do we do when the Fed itself is subsidizing a group like them to make Woke 'too big to fail?'
Yeah, people need to remember we have long since left a capitalist society. The moment a single one of these companies feels a real burn they will cut corners, abuse tax loopholes harder, and then get government money to stabilize them.
Even without that, they would just end up sold to a bigger corp and then survive anyway. Blizzard was nearly dead and worthless, then Microsoft bought them right up.
Exactly. Boycotts we're always fake and never worked, but now it's just insanely obvious. The Democrats would just hand Disney billions if we somehow boycotted them enough to cause losses. It's pointless.
I’d say yes and no. Remember how the left tried to boycott Chick-fil-A a few years back over their ceo donating to anti gay marriage causes? On the day of the protest the right essentially all ate act Chick-fil-A that day making them even more busy than normal. I guess what has to happen with boycotting now needs to be an obvious support for a companies competitor that is either neutral or right leaning.
Some categorization would be useful. Also Mastercard pressuring Patreon to censor creators, rather than the stuff that you are interested in.
You don't need to be pro-life to not want companies to shill abortion. What is abortion today will be some cause I don't like tomorrow. I make an exception for stuff directly related to their employees, as that is actually a legitimate business interest.
But this is whistling past the graveyard. There's not a person in the world who can memorize boycott lists or who will consult them before buying. Not even I. I basically avoid large companies whenever I can.
The reason Rufo is effective is that he targets one company, does some damage to it, and makes an example out of it. Punish one to warn a thousand others. That is the way the wokies operate, and how they have been able to make such progress.
There is a reason you do not have a following. And even if you did, no one's gonna memorize lists of 200. Attacking one specific company and damaging immensely, now that is something that is possible.
I'm not saying that you should not boycott these freakazoiids. I'm just commenting on what can be expected of an average normie.
Master card and visa have both been happy to cut off payments to companies and used the threat of it to get other companies to cut people off. It's not hidden.
What a shame. I liked the first GW, never could get into the second. Them firing Jessica price after she attacked a fan was a +1 in my book. Them ever hiring her was a -1.
Boycotts don't work. Disney getting their privileges pulled works.
I think not even that's going to work anymore.

I didn’t say you can keep trusting people after giving them support. Reward good behavior, punish bad
"You should avoid this topic so hard that even an abort code should be renamed as 'escape code'."
Did they say not to donate to pro-choice candidates and NGOs?

Serial killers don't exist because you can only ever do one thing wrong in your life. And it can never be two things for different reasons!

Guild Wars 2 has been around a for a while and had a recent expansion.
Considering the mess that is the story, their openly proud tranny developers, and Jessica Price, it is interesting they are still relevant.
At least they fired Jessica. Sadly the rest is an ongoing issue (and the writing has only gotten worse)
