As of yet, this is not true for the VAST majority on The Right. I wish it was, but it isn't.

Regardless of how much many, even here, complain about the things these woke arse corporations do, almost none of them put for any effort to stop funding them. Complaining about them does nothing.

Oh...there will be a few days of scathing commentary on this ad and how Oreo (NABISCO in this case) is woke as frick, but by next week almost none of the people complaining will stop buying Oreos or NABISCO products.

What these companies are doing is eating their cake and having it too, because The Right refuses to make them pay for these actions. They get to virtue signal to The Left with this stuff and do so knowing it costs them nothing, because The Right will not en masse change their buying habits.

All of this is true and these corporations know it.

Typical millennial prog. Unable to understand anything beyond the basic, superficial.

Jumps to ridiculous assertions, sounds like a lisping soy.

Isn't it so nice to be able to change your gender daily?

Exactly. And I realize this is a dead horse that I beat into glue on here, but I get that it's difficult for people on The Right to do this as easily as The Left can. If you're a Lefty, it's super easy to avoid companies that lean Right. I'm fairly sure it's not too much trouble to find alternatives to My Pillow, Hobby Lobby, Chik-fil-A and Ted Nugent's new CD. The Right has a much more difficult time.

That said, start small. First, be reasonable and decide what constitutes "wants" and "needs." Wants can almost entirely be jettisoned with some will power. Top of that list is entertainment. You can let go of that instantly and after a few weeks that angst you get from FOMO (fear of missing out) passes and you move on. What's harder is "needs," but in lots of cases you can find alternative vendors or alternative companies to buy from. Not only does this deny financial support to these woke companies, but it helps support alternatives...which is the point of all of this I think.

But don't let the fact that you can get rid of it all 100% be the reason you don't bother to do anything at all.

Are you on meds at your old age? Stress and anger can kill you from the inside so I suggest stepping away from social media if you can’t handle differing opinions.

(Yes this site is social media)

Also, I’ve called you on this before. You live in Alaska and all you do is complain. Your life must not be what you like people to think it is.

You and I still disagree on whether or not these is some focus grouped move on their part I think. For me, it's less complicated than that. They are doing this because they CAN, not because they know it tracks well with customers.

I think this has caught up to some companies depending upon the industry. Comic books have been decimated by catering only to the woke, because they already have a smaller customer base than they used to, and they have gone out of their way to alienate long time fans in favor of the woke Twitter mon that does not actually read or buy comics.

Other places, not so much...yet.

quote:

They do this because they can. Those who they are catering to may be the minority, but they are loud, and the majority either doesn’t care enough to change their purchasing practices or they are influenced by the vocal minority (not wanting to have anyone think they are racists, homophobes, transphobes, etc) so that they go along.

True for the most part. All large global companies like NAbisco now have DEI departments who push this stuff 24/7. They will put it on their Twatter account to gain points with the woke crowd.

But I doubt you ever actually see it on mainstream TV. Maybe once on a gay show or something. They use more generic commercials these so they can actually sell product.

The real story is that Nabisco sells poison masquerading as cookies. Dont eat that shite for health reasons, regardless of what stupid commercial they make.
