Jim, this chat/vanity thread was removed and the moderator indicated it was already posted. It was not and I don’t know why the moderator thought that a personal/vanity had already been posted. Maybe it was a mistake…

So no, AB is not being hurt in the least bit. They sht in the soup, and people are still gobbling it up!
But Sean Hannity doesn’t like boycotts. LOL. I stopped watching him years ago. He’s a tool.
Yes we need to do everything the left is doing and more. They use boycotts and threats of boycotts. We need to do the same. But we need to be more proactive and less reactive (like the left). We need to get businesses to push our values or we will boycott them. Not just stop pushing the left’s values but actually embrace what we want. It’s the only way we can win.
And in lawfare we need state and local prosecutors to charge judges their families and the entire Biden family and friends with crimes. Don’t have one? Make it up. It will cost them money, time and stress to fight it. And it will scare others from being radical and going against the right.
That said, this may have been a calculated move by management in general to reposition Bud Light AND Bud itself at a new market by sticking its thumb in the eye of traditional Americans. AB-InBev might have calculated that the average drinker wasn't aware of their full product line and didn't expect any boycott to bleed over to beer like Corona, Stella Artois, and Beck's.
If one ignores the possible stupidity of the marketing VP, this may have been a kind of product terrorism (i.e., AB-InBev terrorized their existing customers by insulting them).
I think one lesson from the Bud Light experience is that we can’t gin up a boycott the way the left does, because we don’t have the help of the media or social organizations or rent-a-mobs, but if a boycott or buycott arises from the grass roots and takes on a life of its own, nothing can stop it. We saw this in the past with Chick-fil-A and MyPillow.
Wayne Allyn Root has been talking up boycotts, or buycotts, as he calls them, as a safe, non-violent action that conservatives can take to make themselves heard. I think he could be right. Certainly we can’t wait on the “Republican Party” to take action. And a “peaceable assembly” is no longer allowed with all the agents provocateurs from the government and other leftwing groups infiltrating everywhere. How much more peaceful can something be than simply not buying an item?
I think Budweiser knew exactly what they were doing. They have observed their sales decline only accelerate. Without the young market, they can’t survive. My question would be why prematurely kill the golden goose by trying to put lipstick on it? Why not create a brand new brand for the youth market leveraging your existing distribution?
Conservatives don’t operate that way tho. We have pesky principles and think the owners of businesses can do what they want. It’s a property rights issue.
Belgian people got something wrong with them.
They are like French or Dutch people who got dropped on their heads in infancy.
I'm not at all surprised they hired this uptalking snowflake know-it-all girl to "reinvent" beer and work out her man-hate all at once.
Don’t believe in “boycotts” - like you refuse to buy product until they give into your demands. Just cut them out of your life and then pursue a better alternative if it exists.
Unfortunately a lot of people just continue funding these things to the tune of many billions of dollars by refusing to stop subscribing to services where this kind of garbage is produced and distributed to the public, vs. only using services where they can only make money if you are actually watching something.
Then some literally think certain perversions are better than others. Witness those who support and watch shows / movies loaded with pornography - I guess somehow thinking making this kind of perversion acceptable in mainstream society didn’t ultimately lead to the acceptance of taking kinds to strip shows, drag shows, etc.
The acceptance of beer commercials where women tore off their clothes in fights lead to this. Previously, the former also were not acceptable. What do you expect? Being a pervert is being a pervert, and no, certain perversions are not “better” than others, and no, you are no more moral if you find the former acceptable but not the latter. That’s how we got here by defining deviancy down - once you start traveling down that road the wheels don’t stop rolling.
Well yes BUT. Sure bud light sales are in the toilet. But between the brands they own, and the subcontracted brewing they do, half the beer in America results in ABIB getting money.
