Oooooo hopefully this means lines will be a lot shorter in the morning when visiting the south
I refuse to believe this will impact DD in any meaningful way.
What are they gonna do? Go to Starbucks? Lmao.
Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don't normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I've seen it discussed online and in meatspace.
I'm sure I've bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven't knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.
What is it woth the right and cancel culture? It feels like there's no free speech anymore.
Bunch of snowflakes.
A business doesn't want to advertise on a cesspool website. Who would have guessed?
Something something cancel culture…
The Cancel Culture Party
wanking gesture
I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn't shop there anymore.
The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.
Menards supports trump too.
Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn't give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn't really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.
The right coined both “Cancel culture” and “Go woke Go broke” within 5 years.
The last time I was in a Dunkin, there was a maga shithead explaining to a group of Brown people, why the tax policies of maga were good for them. I don't know if his diatribe was welcome or if he had them trapped as hostages by being next to them. It was a bit surreal. Anyway, I welcome the knowledge that Dunkin won't have the likes of him around anymore.
I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?
Elon Musk’s lawsuit over alleged X ad boycott “a very weak case,” professor says
Stupid people, who believe in "free speech" and resent "cancelation," don't think that should be allowed.
And they're willing to cancel anyone who disagrees
They have always been the bitch-made invertebrate snowflakes they love to complain about. It's always projection with these mouth-breathers.
“To be honest ... I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.
This seems perfectly reasonable.
If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.
The Bud Lite treatment: "boycott" for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I'd be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin's bottom line for the quarter.
I mean Bud Lite was significantly affected, but that’s mostly because the people boycotting it were the only ones buying it in the first place. I don’t think the right has a monopoly on Donuts and Coffee in the same fashion.
*Sigh*, Kid Rock is about to shoot some holes in donuts, isn't he?
Kid Rock makes donut holes by fucking them
Kid Rock, the spiritual successor to Ted Nugent.
That sounds very mockable. A good PR team could get a ton of mileage off commercials about shooting holes in donuts.
To be fair if he can thread that needle then maybe he's actually gotten in some range time, maybe taken a class.
Of Jewish people, Fuentes has also said: “We will make them die in the holy war.”
Aren't these the same people who complain about being called Nazis
Isn't Fuentes one of the few guys who embraces the label?
Or do I just think that because he is one of those who doesn't dog whistle and is just saying.Nazi stuff openly?
Either way, that dude is super scary because he is not stupid, he knows exactly what games hes playing and he is better at it than for example Alex Jones.
Fortunately he is still too crass for regular people.
That's going to be a problem for about a million fat-assed cops.
