I can't really boycott anything because I already buy store brands for everything

2019-01-27 22:23:55 UTC  

Not to make a political statement, just because I can't afford fancy labels

that's it

the unholy fusion of neocons and neolibs is complete

2019-01-27 22:25:58 UTC  

@Jacob its hard to find a store that isn't woke

2019-01-27 22:26:22 UTC  

from my experience stores don't really care

2019-01-27 22:26:37 UTC  

I mean I guess the really big chains might

2019-01-27 22:27:04 UTC  

Have you seen the social media of places you shop?

2019-01-27 22:27:20 UTC  

uhh I never really thought to look it up

2019-01-27 22:27:29 UTC  

but I guess I'll do that right now and report back

2019-01-27 22:27:31 UTC  

wait a second

2019-01-27 22:27:31 UTC  

It always just gets back to me aha

@The Lion I'd say it's pretty critical that you have these important discussions before you get married, dude. So many marriages have been torn apart by couples not talking about important issues before marriage such as political worldview, faith, career goals, common morals, 3,5,10,20 year plans together.

No need to be too ideological about it. I don't see a need for one's spouse to be an identitarian or a racialist or whatever - I imagine you'd be fine as long as there is an understanding that:
1. these are the things you believe, it's a morally good position and one that's important to you.
2. you intend to raise your children to be unashamed of their heritage.

2019-01-27 22:29:39 UTC  

okay I just checked Facebook for all the grocery stores I shop at

2019-01-27 22:29:45 UTC  

they just post about food

2019-01-27 22:29:49 UTC  
2019-01-27 22:30:13 UTC  

!!!

2019-01-27 22:30:13 UTC  

I didn't understand that. Try 'help' for more info.

2019-01-27 22:30:24 UTC  

Sorry apollo

2019-01-27 22:30:27 UTC  

!help

2019-01-27 22:30:31 UTC  

@The Lion Trying to force people into thinking the way you do about things, especially with regards to direct action - "read, this book - watch this video", that stuff often has the opposite effect.

2019-01-27 22:30:53 UTC  

haha is it really that surprising? I don't shop at any of the stores with fancy brand names because they're too expensive

2019-01-27 22:31:27 UTC  

One of the stores I shop at is employee owned, and the other too are irrelevant small chains that have better things to do than worry about politics

2019-01-27 22:31:32 UTC  

Well I mean she’s interested @Papa Pizzagate

2019-01-27 22:31:34 UTC  

reposting this since the topic is shopping

2019-01-27 22:32:04 UTC  

I’m not forcing her here, it’s just I don’t really know how to explain traditional values to a woman.

2019-01-27 22:32:15 UTC  

At least not in detail

2019-01-27 22:32:23 UTC  

@Jacob It is to me. Even local chains with 3 stores usually have posters up with the usual garbage on it. I mostly go to local butcher shops and bakeries these days.

2019-01-27 22:32:34 UTC  

Sometimes I miss ben and jerrys

2019-01-27 22:32:43 UTC  

oh well I guess it depends where you are

2019-01-27 22:32:51 UTC  

in Seattle there's a gay flag in every window

2019-01-27 22:33:06 UTC  

@Jacob that’s really sad lol

2019-01-27 22:33:08 UTC  

shit, there was even a smoke shop with a "we refuse fascism bla bla bla" sign

2019-01-27 22:33:29 UTC  

I'm in Eastern Washington, which is red, though

2019-01-27 22:33:36 UTC  

so that might be why the local chains don't bother

2019-01-27 22:34:56 UTC  

I work next to a hair dresser with a HUGE sign that says "proudly LGBT owned"

2019-01-27 22:35:07 UTC  

@The Lion frame it more like relationship goals. "Wouldn't it be great if we get to the point when we have children, that you don't have to work. You could stay home with the kids and take care of the home... We could have you know, an Irish setter or something, a property with a few acres, maybe some veggies and a little herb garden, we could even raise bees."

If she is already interested such ideas would probably appeal to her

2019-01-27 22:35:30 UTC  

Do you live in a blue part of Ohio?

2019-01-27 22:35:33 UTC  

that might be why

2019-01-27 22:35:44 UTC  

Beekeeping does seem pretty cool.

2019-01-27 22:35:50 UTC  

"Plus, you know...we want to have a couple of kids, so it would be *pretty difficult* for the both of us to work AND raise good children" @The Lion
