One of the boycotts that come to mind are people taking golf clubs to their Kuerig machines.

That was because they were folding to pressure from the Left.

All in all, our preferences as far as businesses go, If they take a side, we'd like it to be our side. But ideally, we'd rather them just stay neutral.

I meant to ask if you were OK with that kind of stuff. I think it's what Tim was going at and what I was taking as the key idea.

The Tea Party protests were *really* small. I wouldn't be surprised if a Proud Boys rally is now regularly larger despite being more unpopular.

Boycotts are intended to hurt businesses.

Expecting to get in a fight isn't violence, but it's not bowing out either.

Unlicensed political street art can be thought of as a form of vandalism. Or free expression.

The left has been ok with this stuff for awhile. I think the question is if the right is beginning to change it's mind on some of these kinds of tactics.

When that business takes a stance of 'anti-' whatever conservative position is held

I can't cry foul of a boycott of those businesses by those who hold those positions.

I've got a good case study on this.

Let's take the Chick-Fil-A controversy a few years back.

It comes out that Truett donates his own money to certain organizations.

Those organizations are in whatever way in opposition to LGBT matters.

I think it's misguided to attribute that to every franchise everywhere, or even to the corporation.

But whatever. Boycott if you like.

I think stuff like this crosses the line out of boycott and into something else... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0OE3OwGMwk

Being vocal, trying to convince others to stand with you in not giving this company money, that's one thing entirely. Boycotts are fine. Buycotts are fine.

But being disruptive and abusive in an attempt to damage a business and/or it's employees is a line I wouldn't cross.

Am i a complete nut? This is my opinion. I dont hold very much weight in it but here goes: The 1% republicans have staged a coup that inflitrated the Democrats, they spread these crazy ideals to them all about trannies, muslims. Illegal immigration, and the economy. The Democrats fell for it and took the bait. They started preaching this shit on the regular. They call anyone who opposes them as "fascist". To the point it is sickening. Everyone hates these faggots with purple hair as they chant abolish borders and abolish profit. Everyone starts using the term fascist or misrepresentating fascism. To the point that people actually think fascism, or modern fascism is acceptable. Then the 1%er Republicans move in fast, easily winning 2016 presidency and soon the 2018 midterms. Wide spread laws are passed easily that pertain to the economy and immigration reform. After losing in 2020 and again in 2022 the Democrats resort to acts of violence, bombing civic buildings, public executions etc. Then...... the real fascism laws are introduced. Theyve cried wolf, (fascism) too many times before and nobody takes anyone seriously by 2023 when the word is said.

Yes you're a complete nut.

1% does not imply republican.

Plenty of mega-rich support the democrats.

Oi i tried cutting it up but it keeps being too long

And no coup has taken place. This lurch to the far left has been happening for years and years.

Has it though? Ive never been cool with muslims and i was always a leftist

Yes. I went to university in the early 2000s and it was happening then.

"Islamiphobia" has been part of the discussion since the Bush years, yeah

I hate christians as much muslims though lol

It has just gotten steadily worse over time as 1970s far leftists moved up the hierarchy in universities and trained their replacements to be even further left than they are.

Then theyre just doomed to fail.

Now it's almost assembly line.

Good riddance. Maybe im waking up to the political climate we live in

Wait if im woke ill go broke....... fuck

In Berkeley they literally scout junior high schools for candidates for the left-wing indoctrination track. Get them into lefty volunteer organizations, give them scholarships, set them up with mentors in UCLA, and either put them on an education degree track or a law degree track.

From their teenage years to being given a position in a faculty or a law firm.

There's absolutely no way there could possibly be a coup by right-wingers.

The batshit intersectional social justice nonsense is not some trick or ploy by the right. It's part of the overall strategy of the far left.

They need some group to replace the downtrodden industrial proletariat, so they're manufacturing one.
