neithon said he's planning to buy/created small businesses
I'm just worried about some of this ^^^
@Ranger_720 I thought about building the financial base to oppose the commies by buying small businesses as a group
Like a small business conservative union?
That could be cool
something like that
but are the businesses concentrated in one area or across the country?
Probably both
It could even be an extension of national republican organizations
aimed at funding conservative businesses, especially those that face a lack of funding for their views
i mean, i'm not opposed to it. i think that's a good idea
i can work as a safety net for conservative businesses too
same same, it's more of the implementation
yeah
fair enough
because how do you know which is "conservative businesses"?
people could have a gun store and are still raging progressives
As soon as you set that up, it's going to be "The RNC, Turning Point USA, etc. (whichever group theoretically supports this) is supporting white supremacist businesses"
it might be better if it's supporting small businesses in general imo
because small businesses need a safety net anyway, and if the program that helps them lean conservative, they can buy in easier
How would you keep that sort of thing private
^^^ exactly
they can audit and find "systematic racism" or whatever -ism in there
Like incentives for pro-life, etc. advertising?
that would be cool
My biggest issue with that is I don't necessarily think businesses should be vocal in politics
something like that? because i'm thinking like a welfare state. people vote for welfare (ie. the government), which is leaning democrats. if we're running a private welfare support that lean conservative and preach conservative values (explicit or implicit), it will soften people to the idea of conservatism
Isn't welfare something conservatives dislike
depends on the business models, i think. ie. for sports, sports had always been tied to politics
how so
just like athletes' platform power?
okay so what if we buy / build businesses and use the profits for political campaigns / ads?
it's poor word choice, but that's the general idea i'm interpreting from neithon. build a safety net and help small businesses to thrive might not be "welfare" necessarily
sure. black athletes were barred from sports for some time. hitler barred certain countries from the olympic (if my memory is correct)
i don't like the ideas of using the money for political ads/campaigns (because who are you supporting?). i'd like it to go back to helping the community
that being said, you can also use the money to start lobbying and/or influence media
