Find out your principles first,then stick to them. Otherwise you're a hypocrite. Lets say you are totally against women, then you'd be a hypocrite if you don't diss your own existence (your mother, if you don't get it). There's such a thing as scope. Be specific and more detailed.

No, be flexible, or you might end up dropping your boycott entirely. Like a diet, you can't be too easy-going, but if you are too hard, then one day of failure might lead you to drop it because you've messed it up anyway.

I try to boycott woke companies as much as possible, but I don't when it's hard. So I do boycott Gillette, but not Coca Cola.

Am I a hypocrite? Maybe. But so what if I am? This world is dominated by hypocrites, it certainly isn't harming them. Winning is more important than petty egotism.

I boycott Gillette, Disney, Netflix, Coca Cola but not Games Workshop. I guess we all have some level of hypocrisy

I do boycott some of those as well and I do not use Mozilla, didn't even know they were woke it was running like crap for to long. I had a guy in a call making fun of me for using Edge, I told him Edge has more users then Mozilla and Mozilla sucks.

Principles are more important than winning. Would you kill all children on Earth if it'd let you win?

That would be a Pyrrhic victory. But no.

And "don't give money to people who hate you" is a principle, but not as important as "don't kill all the children". Only the Sith deal in absolutes.

It would be a scorched earth tactic, but not a Pyrrhic one, as you wouldn't lose anything by it. In fact, you'd win..

"kill all the children" wasn't a principle, but a natural extension of you placing victory above principles.

I love this advice and wish more people would live by it it.

I think the RW would be further along if more people were like this.

Change my mind: the RW has been losing because of its "principles".

The other side has none at all and yet it always wins.

A Pacifist will always win over a Warrior, in combat. But there are many avenues of war and ways of fighting, that doesn't include combat. Culture, Science, Arts, Education, etc.

They also don't have a way forward, only a way to destroy what is. Their tactics are all slash and burn. Sowing confusion, lies, and propaganda. That doesn't bode well for building a society of trust and truth. Theirs would be an actual Pyrrhic victory.

Yes, because electing RINOs and welcoming in ideological refugees has worked so well for the RW.

The other side has none at all and yet it always wins.

Their principles are whatever the media tells them and they stick to them, no matter how irrational or illogical it is. If they didn't stick to those principles, they wouldn't have advanced their agenda and turned America into a shithole country.
