   They can't appease the faggot lobby and also their customers at the same time.
   
   My only complaint is that other companies are t also fucking themselves like this. I want to see all of capitalism self immolate under the rainbow flag

     @JSDorn Any publicly traded company will raise the fag flag, or risk being crushed by shareholders who want to promote this. Companies don’t get pushback because the market is chaotic by nature, and nobody can hold a boycott for longer than two weeks. Even if entire states stopped purchasing their products, Vanguard, Blackrock/Stone et al. can keep them solvent longer than the market can stay retarded. The only way to win this game is not to play.

     @veff @JSDorn Remember that you shouldn't worry about trying to boycott everything, because it's impossible. Buy local and support small businesses free of this shit where you can, but don't worry too much about it. The point of Bud Light shit is to personally destroy a few flunkies because it's fun and Bud Light sucks anyways, it won't solve the big picture.

     @JSDorn I really wish it was so, but unfortunately I’ve seen firsthand that this is impossible.

     Remember when Gillette made ads attacking men? Since that day I’ve tried to avoid their products entirely. I went searching for razors and sanitation products from competitors, but found that they have a virtual monopoly on it. If there is a niche side business which produces such, they are bought only through Amazon, which supports the exact same things that Gillette does, making it a zero-sum game.

     This research into Gillette took me a significant amount of time back then. How many people are willing to do the same research into alternatives? Even if they found one, would they be willing to switch to it for life, or would convenience reign supreme? The market has already shown that the latter is always true. Given enough time, even bud light will recover from this. If they don’t, the parent company will by selling the same beer under an alternative brand without the baggage.

     @veff @JSDorn Destroying the brand has value in and of itself. Also remember that some markets are much easier to choose alternatives for than others, and these are the ones that should be targeted.

     @veff I hope the boycott will be permanent, and that it will extend to all Budweiser products. I may be naive but it's what my heart wants

     @LorgarAurelian1488 @JSDorn Even when doing this, you have to remain vigilant in every single other aspect. What shaving cream are you using? It’s probably Gillette.

     I know this sounds literally retarded at face value, but I need to do a proper write up on how capitalism shapeshifts into communism, because I still see people who otherwise are totally “redpilled” falling for things like free markets and libertarian ideals, and my gut instinct is to critique it but I haven’t fully formulated my response to it.

     @veff @JSDorn The only way to boycott Gillette is by shaving with an old school straight razor properly without mangling your face.

     @veff @JSDorn @LorgarAurelian1488 We don't have a free market and can't solve the root of the problem this way. It's at most a fun side activity to dick over a few lower-level globohomo flunkies. So just keep that in mind.

     @JSDorn @BiggusDiccus The crux of my position isn’t really Gillette or shaving, it’s moreso getting others to be more aware of who they are giving money to, consciously and unconsciously. The way to win this battle is not to play, but find ways to cut corps/govt out of your life completely.

     Where does one get their daily bread? Does all your sources of protein originate from Walmart? Are the clothes you buy helping fund your enemy? These are the questions people need to ask if they want to escape slavery, because this trap is being meticulously crafted around us and somehow the only time people care is when the piss water they drink is in rainbow instead of camo color.

     @ArdainianRight @JSDorn I mean, I guess there’s a little value in ruining brands? I think that’s more effective with intellectual properties like ruining movies and vidya, because those are lasting cultural icons which will leave a bad taste in more normal’s mouths. Squeezing beer companies just seems like such a waste of time, but I guess I’m not really tapped into the market, nor the kinds of people who would buy it.

     @veff @JSDorn There's a zillion different beers. Bud Light has been the standard generic beer for years, but it's really easy to get something else at no real personal cost. Target is tougher because there's limited alternatives and it's less convenient, but Bud
     Light is very easy to maintain a boycott. The types who support tranny shit are generally not beer drinkers, they prefer other stuff. So it's very easy to just tank the brand and it won't come back. Sometimes brands just die. Does anyone remember what the replacement to Aunt Jemima is or what happened to that?

     @teknomunk @ArdainianRight @JSDorn @LorgarAurelian1488 This is why I feel such distain for the weak men of our past who failed us. When the government unfixed the value of the dollar from gold, and then made it illegal to have gold for a season, the US citizens did jack shit and let us get to the situation we are in today. A few dead kikes a hundred years ago would’ve prevented millions of deaths today.

     @veff @teknomunk @JSDorn @LorgarAurelian1488 Kicking the can down the road while it's possible to do so has been the norm throughout history. Great men are rarely those who see ahead and act pre-emptively, those are usually dismissed as madmen. Great men are those who rise to the challenge that's placed before them. So don't lament the past, fight for the future.

     It is impossible to outbid the money printers with their money.
     
     So don't bid that way. Try as they might, they can't print infinite physical goods, energy or time.
