What really boils my soup is that some folks believe that they can hide from Politics. Then they get angry at me for illustrating to them that politics is everywhere. They can't even define politics. The liberal dims love these people. Yes I avoid these progressive companies like Apple,Disney and Coke. I don't own a smart phone ,disney really sucks, and coke is bad for your organs.

more like 5%. don't ever give the LOUD minority more credit than they deserve. at least 95% of america are just average folks trying to live their life.

And then, after the sit in, there was an "SJW" campaign for months to have them change their policy - which they did. I fail to see any difference in that at all - except that that was a righteous cause (although I wonder how many on this board then would have been mad about "SJWs") and the current cancel culture bullshite is not a righteous cause. But politics has always been there.
Are you REALLY comparing the folks who sat in on lunch counters to modern day SJW's/Antifi/BLM?
These folks burn,riot,murder,beat up and cancel
folks who even think about disagreeing with em.
Did you see the guy ice skating in NYC who got beat up for simply wearing a MAGA hat and waving a Trump flag? Did you see the other folks cheering him on?
You don't believe in free speech and now a Democratic/Marxist member of Congress wants to establish "Truth Commissions" but these folks are EXACTLY like the freedom riders in the South?
Do you not understand how absurd you sound?

JC. I have never seen so many companies come forward with major political statements like we have seen in the last couple years. It just didn’t happen. You are just arguing in bad faith and being disingenuous

Am I being too petty?

Not being petty . I try to stay away liberals . Everyone I have ever meet is a 2 faced hypocrite. They live like republicans and have no idea what they are voting for.

I couldn't afford to.LOL
Some of my biggest customers are Coke NA,AT&T/CNN,CDC and Amazon.
Also do business Kroger Corporate but I don't believe they've come out with any
"Woke" statements.

Not at all. A common refrain is that we need to stop funding those who hate us. I would say that anyone not doing as you are is out of his mind.

Wel, the Dems/liberals/progressives have already been doing this for a while.

Just don’t complain about cancel culture.

Same. A bar up the road in Rogers that I used to go to recently featured a bartender on their Instagram. This is a big burly dude with a full beard. Sure, he has painted fingernails.
In the intstagram post, they referred to this guy as "she" and "her". "She is always excited to talk beverages. Come see her soon!!" This shite is so off the charts in-your-face that I can't stand it anymore.

My local branch, ran out of chicken that day! You'd think a CEO or the board of a Fortune 500 company would realize that the SJW shite doesn't put cash in the register.
Companies know also, but many are being pressured into making public statements. We, as conservatives, need to continue to let them know with both our comments AND our money that they're gonna pay a price for publicly jumping into the political world!

Their CEO literally got down on his knees and washed a black mans shoes. How is that not bowing? Lol

You are doing what every patriotic American should be doing. If every conservative did do business with overt liberal progressive businesses like Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc. the market aka loss of profitability would force them to be more centrist.

I never believed in boycotting
But I do now
We must aggressively boycott
And I’ve tried to have civil conversations with people on the “left”
It’s a waste of time
It’s best to avoid them or just talk about the weather
Posted on 2/28/21 at 3:43 pm to Eli Goldfinger
You aren’t being petty. If you give those people business, you’re just giving them money to try to influence policy that differs from what you believe.
