Companies endorse liberal causes at seemingly every turn, virtue-signaling their way to what they hope are greater profits. Some companies get rich off their wokeness, while others falter as a result. Read the 50 times corporations attempted to capitalize on left-wing politics.
1. Electronic Arts video game features disabled woman fighting in World War II.
Electronic Arts 2018 game Battlefield V reenacts scenes from World War II with a twist: large amounts of the soldiers on the frontlines of battle are women. The trailer for the game features a woman with a hook for a hand killing soldiers. The words white men and Nazi were banned from the World War II games chat.

2. Dove designed shower gel shaped like different body types.
Dove created six uniquely shaped bottles of shower gel to evoke the shapes, sizes, curves and edges that combine to make every woman their very own limited edition. The campaign was a flop with most everyone. Dove engineered bottles that, through functional differences, inadvertently imply there is a best body after all, said Ian Bogost, Contributing Editor for the Atlantic.

When I had my vending machine route and used to go hunting for new spots, I didn’t wear a PETA shirt or a shirt with Ronald Reagan on it or ANYTHING political.
I didn’t speak politics either.
Because it had NOTHING to do with my business.
SMH
Hell, Disney/ABC had glowing reports on Antifa before the nasty became too obvious.
“Social Justice” = mob “justice”.
Like, literally.
I know I've seen those women before. 8>)
Businesses doing politics should be as scary as churches doing so. There is a reason in China baby food producers keep poisoning kids and yet never get punished.
Being of the party doctrine avoids one many lawsuits for poor product, safety and quality services
I am not buying from these companies who probabaly import us chicom made dangerous crap
I didn’t see any that are my type.
Didn’t know that about the baby food.
I know they killed a bunch of dogs here with their food
LOL!
There is no cost to dissing the conservative population who shop for value of the product and don’t care much about the political stance of the producer. If the corps don’t kowtow to the Left the Left will not buy from them because Wokies feel they have to make a political “statement” every time they buy something.
I got as far as number 12 and was so turned off by the article’s content I had to quit reading.

I reject woke...i don’t have to talk like a millennial... If I order in Starbucks, I ask for a large coffee, not a venti.
Out of what, 50 times?
Upper management has been infiltrated, under pressure from diversity officers, with socialists acting against the interests of the shareholders who nominally own the companies. The remedies are an end to diversity hiring, a return to merit hiring, and changes in corporate governance law.
Here’s a couple more.

Remember, this is a Campbell’s brand which includes Pepperidge Farm cookies and Goldfish crackers; Snyders-Lance snacks, including Snyders of Hanover pretzels, Lance sandwich crackers, Kettle Brand and Cape Cod potato chips, and Late July organic snacks; Arnotts, Kjeldsens and Royal Dansk biscuits; V8 beverages; Plum premium organic baby food; Swanson broths; Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauce; and Pacific Foods organic broths, Campbell’s soups and plant-based beverages.
Last Christmas, nearly every commercial to buy your sweetie a present had a same sex couple. A couple off the top of my head were Walmart with two moms buying their kid toys and Pandora with two females buying bracelets.
It is fairly easy to find non-agenda pushing companies so my money doesn’t have to support sicko causes. Of all my 50 page list of personally banned companies, about the only one I do business with anymore is Walmart. It’s hard to avoid Walmart when it’s about the only game in small towns.
Make that a ridiculous 73 pages. Businesses would have better profit lines if they’d just shut up and sell their items without dissing half their customer base.
Well I’m certainly glad to hear that. But I’ll bet you’ve seen some of them as well. The one on the end I believe is Rosie O’Donnell. 8>)
