Can we start a thread with businesses we will support? After seeing so many businesses go over to hardcore leftism, I really think we need to support businesses that support us. I really think we have underestimated the effect business has had in promoting the left. If we show that such behavior will be punished and which will be rewarded, it would go a long way to fixing this situation.
Here is what I think we should do. 1. Create a group that will promise to support businesses that will not cave to leftist interests. 2. Find a way that we can show how many people are willing to support said business without allowing leftists to doxx us. 3. Come up with minimum standards of quality etc. The businesses we support cannot get away with just milking us for dollars by taking advantage of our desperation. We might have to sacrifice some things along the lines of cost, convenience, or quality if there are few competitors.
Cutting cable tv would be a big first step
I agree. The Left is applying Jesse Jackson/ Al Sharpton shakedown tactics for Leftism in general, not just race issues. We need to protect the good guys best we can.
We get antenna and streaming-based shows and our wallet is far better off for it.
Also, check out movies and television series from the library.
Saving money helps defund the left. Please, everyone, do it now.
Sounds good, but I think the key is supporting businesses that support us. Good businessmen look for new opportunities. Upcoming business get attention. Boycotts need to be part of it, but they aren’t what will make this enterprise successful. If we show that supporting Western Civilization can be the thing that sets you up for life, intelligent and ambitious will join us, instead of seeing sucking up to the left as a way to usurp wealth from existing power structures. The right has a not unfair reputation as being docile, slow to organize, and lacking in innovation.
Good move and the sooner the better!
Step 1, canceled Unlimited Music.
Setp 2, backed up all of our pictures and files on Amazon Drive to a local drive (500GB).
Step 3, cancel Prime Membership.
Step 4, cancel Kindle Unlimited.
Step 5, cancel Amazon Drive.
Don’t use Amazon unless forced to.
There’s tons of alternatives. In fact, just use their search results and then go find the same or better deal on 20 other sites for the same product. They try to stop that, but they mostly can’t.
And as a third party fulfillment operation, their “service” sucks anyway.
Yes. I would give you the details of my life to back it up, but it is too embarrassing. Thing is, I know maybe this isn’t true of all conservatives and maybe I can shame them and myself into action.
Sigh, wrong thread Dat.
