    I’m not saying I’m immune from propaganda but I didn’t think I’ve ever purchased something to “strike back at the conservative corporate culture.”

      That’s because you have a functioning brain with more than two brain cells fighting for third place. You don’t do or feel what you’re told to do by fox “news”.

      I mean it’s pretty common. I’ve not eaten at Chick Fil A for years or shopped in a Hobby Lobby since the religious health insurance crap. Just two big examples. Many people choose to not support companies that are in blatant opposition to their values. And me not buying at hobby lobby did mean I purchased my supplies from an alternate vendor. So I could say I bought from alternate vendor to strike back at the conservative culture…

      Just as an aside, been a 49ers fan my whole life. This whole recent “white guy in a red cap” thing makes me wish I had two more hands so I could give four middle fingers.

      But dude, liberal tears butt wipes or whatever…these rubes eat that shit up

      “Uncle Cletus’s 400 grit toilet paper”

      Are you tired of those ‘woke’ and cushy liberal toilet paper made from weak and pansy processed cellulose? Try Uncle Cletus’s proprietary silicon carbide formula enhanced with sand sourced from All American beaches! Now you can show your patriotism by bleeding red from the ass during every trump-approved toilet visit

        Now that’s an American.

        Too bad the modern company probably isn’t lead with his principles.

        “Even you?”

        “No, I shall live in a fuckoff huge mansion on 4000 acres.”

    Met people that say these “woke” companies shouldn’t get political but they will happily buy from companies like this. Isn’t surprising at all.

      Of course. It’s not political if it’s just The Way Things Should Be™

      • The two Races: White and Political
      • The two Genders: Male and Political
      • The two Sexualities: Straight and Political

      Their views are never “political” because theirs is the “natural state” of things. They’re on top because they deserve to be, and they deserve to be on top because they are. It’s anything that deviates from that so-called natural state that’s being political.

        Spot on. And notably if there’s anything “political” about the person, it is the first thing they mention about them in a conversation. Even if it’s not to say anything bad - it’s just how their brain works.

      Something that conforms to or supports my views: not political.

      Something that contradicts my views: political.

      Because they feel affronted and so this is “perfectly acceptable” revenge/payback. They do it with everything… It’s also why they’re ok with dictator Trump. When he says in plain English that he is seeking revenge they feel the same way and want the same thing because revenge implies that they were initially “wronged.”

      They always play the victim, it’s so absurd…

      People: “Don’t be a raging racist asshole, just treat all people with respect.”

      The right: “WAHHHHH! THE LEFT ARE AUTHORITARIANS WHO HATE US!”
