It’s like everyone is volunteering to play musical chairs before they get “cancelled”, only to find out later that the music is being played by the pied piper.

Every one of them is beholden to the loud, unruly Twitter and Facebook mobs.

Because they are doing the "right" thing.

Because social media drives popular narratives and its overwhelmed with delusional Woke folks

It's all about social media reactions.

Because you don't get shot by the people living in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio that find you to be a joke of a person but are not complete savages

You get shot by the people in downtown Baltimore

I'm convinced Soros and the left have dumped their money into PR firms that are convincing these companies that it is better financially to bend the knee.

It’s cause the silent majority hasn’t banded together yet.

because at the end of the day, most normal people don't care or even keep up with all of this, so they don't lose much business, but score a few virtue points in the process

Someone yesterday said that 80% of tweets come from 10% of tweeters. I would like to know if that is a real stat, and where I could find that info?

Any company emailing me about wokeness I'm unsubscribing to. Small I know but if a lot more do it they might think twice

Likewise, but look at the enormous success of Nike post Kaepernick. I thought they would tank and I was wrong.

My company always starts meetings with providing a "Health and Safety moment". Yesterday we had to begin with an "Diversity and Inclusion" moment. I immediately left the call

Women overwhelmingly support this woke stuff. Women by far make the vast majority of shopping decisions.

So businesses mostly market to women.

The people who are offended by "wokeness" aren't the type of people who get mad and protest and boycott.

Women and children, I'd add.

OP's question is valid, though. I stopped using another website because they gave money to the SPLC, of all people. I mean, that's not just racist, that's flat-out stupid. You might as well donate your money to the Pickwick Club; at least they're relatively nice rich frickers.

Yes

Again, we need to pick some specific, fairly large, deserving target and crush them.

Not really out of spite, just to shake up their beliefs about consumers.
