No. Revolver is a newer conservative site.
Or the NYT’s use every trick in the book to fool the Black rifle company
Actually, that's not a bad idea... He needs to take a couple of crash courses in political science so he can inoculate himself from prosecution.. And what better way to do that then to become a politician.. Ask Hillary, she'll tell ya... :)
Well not really. I’m brand conscious of the awful things companies like Gillette, Levi’s, Ben an Jerry, NFL, MLB, NBA and many more I no longer buy product from.
Currently I drink costco coffee from Columbia, Guatemala and Costa Rica. That could end tomorrow if I get pissed at them.
Exactly if one trust the NYT’s.
LOL!...That would be Anti-Brand Conscious!......
At the first blush of propaganda served up by the New York Times, meant to destroy a rising Conservative company, the instinct is:
Hang em, Destroy em.
Do exactly what the NYT wants done.
At least listen to what the exec at Black Rifle says.
Here is a comment I made earlier. The right is very good at eating its own. The left is very good at encouraging such behavior.
It is exactly what you expect from the NYT Magazine. Take an unrelated comment about anti-semitism and racism, and make it look as if it is directly attacking Rittenhouse's supporters.
Here is the quote from the NYT Magazine. Zengerle is the NYT Magazine writer:
“You can’t let sections of your customers hijack your brand and say, ‘This is who you are,’” Best told me. “It’s like, no, no, we define that.” The Rittenhouse episode may have cost the company thousands of customers, but, Hafer believed, it also allowed Black Rifle to draw a line in the sand. “It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.” Then again, what Hafer insisted was a “superclear delineation” was not too clear to everyone, as Munchel’s choice of headgear vividly demonstrated.
Notice how Zengerle takes two different quotes, from two different people, and probably different times, and makes it seem they are connected.
First quote, where Best is talking about anti-semites who attacked BLCC during the Rittenhouse episode: “You can’t let sections of your customers hijack your brand and say, ‘This is who you are,’” Best told me. “It’s like, no, no, we define that.”
The NYT Magazine writer then shows it is from the Rittenhouse episode, but switches to an quote from Hafer . Then the Zengerle puts in this quote where Hafner is talking about racists and anti-semites:
“It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said. “It’s like the worst of American society, and I got to flush the toilet of some of those people that kind of hijacked portions of the brand.”
Again, Zengerle is making it appear the Hafer is including Rittenhouse supporters with racists and anti-semites.
Hafer explicitly says he was referring to racists and anti-semites in his video rebuttal. What he does not do, and should have done, is explicitly say that he is not referring to Rittenhouse supporters in general.
Zengerle has him in a vise. If Hafer says Rittenhouse supporters are not "racists and anti-semites" all Zengerle has to come up with is one who is, and Hafer is rebutted.
Hafer should have known he could not beat the NYT Magazine at the propaganda game, which is why I say he is dangerously naive, and needs to smarten up fast.
They are opening a store here in Destin.
I will see how long it stays in business.............
“Rittenhouse”
.
that was the First.
Well consciousness is consciousness. Good or bad.
PS I try to buy american cars. Despite a flirtation with Japanese vehicles in the eighties when American cars were pretty crappy, I have returned to the fold. I like the 3 American vehicles we currently have.
As a businessman, he should have never gotten involved with a hot political situation. Now he’s screwed...............
I have owned cars from America, Japan, Korea, England, and Germany. They all have one thing in common: They all break down at some point.................
You know better.
The whole business model of Black Rifle Coffee Company is political.
That is why the NYT is so interested in taking them down.
Of course it’s a hit job! Even the CEO had to know that.
The Left does this every time. The NYT quotes a Romney, or McCain or Bush to tell the story the Left wants to tell, not the story the person they are quoting wants to tell.
So, what’s the point? The CEO is at best an idiot. Does he think people who read the NYT are going to buy his coffee? Now, no one will.
The only reason Kyle Rittenhouse is still alive is that he could identify an enemy trying to kill him. BRCC can’t.
Division is what they are after. Anything remotely promoting conservatism, patriotism and the flag they must bring down.
By the way, I do not drink coffee !
Nothing is forever. Not even diamonds (which burn like coal)
I don’t know anything about this company, or the guy running it.
I do know that whatever may be true about Black Rifle Coffee, the NY times is lying about them. I don’t know how they’re lying, but you can take it to the bank that they are. We’ll need some sources other than the NYT before we can know anything reliably about them.
This story is reflective of a larger dynamic at play; Traditionalists/Conservatives look at the landscape of consumer goods and services and see companies falling into lockstep with the progressive and because of this, they’ll latch onto to anything that doesn’t seem to be actively at war with them. It makes them easy marks for corporate conmen.
So, a reasonably savvy businessman who’s bringing a new product or service to market - like this coffee jerk - picks up on that and positions their early marketing campaigns to appeal to this niche market. Then, once they reach some critical level of success, they fall into line with other ‘mainstream’ companies.
The possibility that they were encouraged/coerced to adopt a new public position also shouldn’t be discounted. It’s easy to imagine their bank saying to them: Hey, that’s a nice business you got there, hate to see you lose everything by supporting ‘racists.’ With gun manufacturers and retailers and other businesses that aren’t in favor with the left finding it increasingly difficult to find banks to do business with, the coercion possibility doesn’t seem like a wild conspiracy theory at least to me.
I always wondered about that.................
