I have been avoiding doing business with openly progressive businesses for a while...

...now I find myself avoiding openly progressive individuals.
Am I being too petty?
Is it possible to shun about half of the population?

No. It’s a free country.

I miss the old days when people kept their politics out of business.

No, turn about is fair play.
The tards who think 'turn about is fair play' is childish would kill someone who is trying to kill them. If you don't play at the same level as your opponents you lose.

I’ve been doing it for months and many people I know are. Do what you need to do. Just go away quietly.

Same here, but there’s no turning back now.

Actually you're being smart. Stay away from all contagious diseases I say.

I only go away quietly from the individuals. I let the businesses know why I am done with them.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Progressives and cancel culture rule the roost re: social media. Companies HR (also typically ideological losers) hear all the bitching and complaining on social media, they are taught that social media is a good sample of the typical American consumer (it isn’t.... it isn’t at all) and then they base their policies, commercials, etc off of the feedback from the echo chamber.
It’s a self-feeding system that is on the fast track to self-immolation

Just to remind you: Tim Cook literally said that Jacob Blake was "another Emmett Till".

I'm sure you've done a great job of "avoiding". You aren't petty - you're just a liar.

Please tell us exactly when the "old days" were - because politics has always been in everything. More likely is just that you don't like the PARTICULAR politics that are in business now.

Sorry your hot take is off base, comrade.

It HAS NOT always been around. It’s the left shoehorning their politics into everyone else’s entertainment

No, you find you hate communists like most normal people do.

quote:Sure it has. You avoided my question about segregation. You don't think Woolworth's ,e.g., was "bringing politics into it" when they were enforcing segregation at their lunch counters? 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.

Do what you want. I personally seek out these people, and do everything in my power to soread red pills. Anything from sending articles, bits of information, Sowell and Friedman quotes, videos, memes, books to read. I like to engage them and force them to defend their ideas.
