I kind of agree with you. I'm tired of playing nice. I no longer will purchase my Corona premier. I never cared for Nike stuff anyway but I will make sure I will never purchase it again. If UT swag is Nike, sorry UT. My new beer of choice is Yeungling Flight. Please no one dig up dirt on Yeungling.

That’s the thing though, all of these big companies are the same. Choosing to stay blind to what they’re doing isn’t the answer if you’re really trying to boycott companies for their political ideologies because I promise you any company that’s $1B+ in sales are “woke” on some level. Today’s employment environment pretty much forces it. Some are just not as vocal about it.

Yeah, it's amazing how it's infected large corporations. Maybe we need to go back to supporting the little guy, even if it cost a little more. I've never understood the logic of big companies picking a side.

Funny story, a couple of days ago I was at a restaurant. My wife, adult son and I were discussing this subject and were talking about not buying Anhieser Bush products any longer. As we were discussing this, the waitress asked for drink orders. I promptly said Mich Ultra. Didn't think about it until she brought it and I said WTF did I just do. 🤣

So you think alienating a large portion of your customers is somehow making them more profitable?

I think they believe they will gain more than they lose - that it will be a net win for them.

They don’t really care about this. They simply see new $$$.

Maybe the math changes. We’ll see.

I've always thought the left was more committed to their causes than the right. The left will cancel you over night. If the right did the same thing I don't think these large corporations would pick a side. In theory if conservative bud light drinkers made a stand, they'd bring AB to their knees in 24 hrs. I do think we're at a tipping point. People are tired of having this garbage shoved down their throats. Like you said, we'll see. Impossible for AB to walk it back.

Corporate America will “swing back” the moment it becomes financially advantageous.

And not one second before.

And that’s the end game: remake corporate America into a Marxofascist praetorian guard - as they’ve done with media - until you can’t escape coercion. Anyone shooing that as tinfoil hat territory is either onboard or too preoccupied with something to absorb the scope of the totalitarian movement.

Yep, corporations and the government have been connected at the hip.

Yep. Look at the ESG ratings companies are trying to score high grades in. They'll be a time when a person must pledge his loyalty to the sodomy movement and the global warming cult before They'll be able to get a job

Yes, the left takes their anger and uses it. The right is too busy working to provide for their families to really get serious, it's hurt them for not taking a more aggressive stance. This is what we have today

Not so long as they are funded by large investment/capital groups who aren’t legally forced to honor their fiduciary duty of investing judiciously, instead of gargantuan shareholding ideologues. That - not chasing some indiscernible market share of radicalism - is driving this. It’s why Disney isn’t doing an about face, but doubling down In the headwind of the stock crashing. The normal laws of economics are purposely being broken down. The WEF, for example, isn’t some fringe anomaly but the paradigm.

Large corporations go along for two reasons, gaining advantage over small competitors and buying a place at the table in the statist economy being attempted. It’s why large government loves large corps and disdains the small, infinitely numerous ones; you can dictate to the corporate bucket easily while the small biz dump truck full are continual nuisance you’d rather see subsumed.

Perhaps the market share they’re after is the LGBTXYZ generation that is/has been created by a leftist dominated education system under parents noses, whose recruitment of your children is being enforced by fed, state, and local governments. Public schools are government entities and those employed are government agents, and they‘ll socially transition your kid there without parental knowledge, or in your face if you do and object.

Lastly, as these ideological battles are waged legally, I see them less concerned with rule of law and more akin to interpretive, weaponized dance. In totality, this is a scorched earth war against the constitutional republic by internal enemies.

Woke companies aren’t crazy, they’re simply forecasting.
