I actually have a brain in my head and can think for myself and don’t need a big group to identify with.


Why do corporations feel the need to alienate any of their customers based on politics? Consumers make buying choices all the time and using polarizing spokespersons is dumb. In Nike's case they know who their customers are, and that's why they double down on PC culture.

No one is telling me not to buy from Nike, that's my own decision.

You are forgetting the important step in telling every single person you see about your boycott.

Because we all know boycotts don't count unless you tell everyone.

Seems weird that a World of Warcraft themed cafe would've been a spot to watch NFL games in the first place

I have boycotted Lowe's since 2002 because their terrible customer service pissed me off one night. I can hold a grudge.

Nothing

I would have to care enough to actually think about boycotting, and even thinking about it bores me.

I did learn from all of this that the Betsy Ross flag was adopted by the Klan as some sort of symbol of anti-government rebellion.




I didn't know this either. That is part of the problem. The Klan uses has adopted the rebel flag, and evidently the 13 colony flag..

Once they start using it, it takes on a whole different meaning.

What did Dicks & Netflix do? It's a job just keeping up with what companies people are boycotting and why...

Usually the folks who boycott only boycott when it is convenient to them and they don't really lose anything by doing it.


Most of the people who are "boycotting" really doesn't have any loyalty to that brand anyway, but I am surprised by reading this board by the people who have canceled netflix. Evidently they don't agree with their political agenda. I just want to watch The Ozarks, Mindhunters, Last Chance U and some of their documentaries, etc.. I really don't give a shite about their politics.

I like how they equate someone not buying from a company being triggered with a pink hair snowflake terrozing a CEO and his wife in a restaurant. Quite a bit of difference but real snowflakes are intellectually dishonest and some are just ignorant.

The word snowflake makes me laugh because people are so serious when they use it "He is just another snowflake". And it comes off as if it is being used instead of a cuss word.. Like "I will be fricken mad as heck if that darn thing doesn't work. Its a complete mess" Instead of saying "I will be fricking mad as hell if that damn thing doesn't work. Its complete shite!" so its hard to take serious.
