Conservatives seem to be too busy working to get involved in culture wars. That is why we lose.
I’ve said that for years. Oh.... you don’t mean literally?
“Conservatives Need to Start Taking No Prisoners and Claiming Scalps...”
Long overdue but with the current cast of republican nothings..for the most part..there is no chance.
I think white Liberals are going to be shocked and really "WOKE" when rise their head, look around and realize their in the same boxcar with all the other whities headed for the ovens.. I hope I'm not there to see it...
Conservatives need to refine our boycott process. Most people won’t stop buying things for long term. The way to get attention is to do short term absolute boycotts. For example kohls stops selling my pillow. We get all offended but do we really do anything? Some stop going to Kohl’s (I have not set foot in one since they removed my pillow and won’t ever again), but most maybe stop for a while. What has to happen is there needs to be an organized 1 or 2 week complete stoppage. 2 weeks of sales dropping by half might get someone’s attention. Years ago sailors were mistreated in norfolk, va. The navy paid everyone in $2 bills. When the merchants saw how many of those bills came through their cash registers things changed. That was, to my understanding only a single payday. It’s easy for stores to cancel when it doesn’t affect their bottom line. Just two weeks of a 50% reduction in sales might stop some of this.
As a former liberal I’ve been telling this to conservatives for years. hell, I’ve stopped talking to one of my younger sisters years ago. She’s a dyed in the wool Democrat.
I absolutely agree that conservatives need to fight back against liberal dominance of our culture. But there are two big issues with this. I would love to boycott companies that supported BLM. But that would be 99% of them if you count posting a black square on Twitter, and I’m not willing to live as as ascetic. So I need to pick-and-choose which companies are egregious enough to warrant boycots, and everyone has a different threshold so it winds up not working.
Second, there have been many times — usually with small companies — where I see someone standing up to the woke mob, jump in with my support, and less than a week later the CEO releases a statement apologizing for the controversy I tried to support them for. And this happens even in cases when the jump in sales has garnered media reports.
I do make a sincere attempt to “feed your friends; starve your enemies”. But can you point me to a conservative entertainment company? (yes I support Daily Wire. They have a total of one movie at the moment). If I were to boycott Amazon, which online retailer should I use (and don’t tell me to shop local since I live in a small town)? I did deliberately switch to Microsoft Edge to not use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, but is Microsoft really all that much better at being anti-woke?
With a good verbal left hook. And a real one.
