“It’s not a principle if it doesn’t cost you anything”

Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.

No political grandstanding please.

    It’s a point of concentration to get a message out and get people involved on a large scale. It’s a concrete thing people can get behind together, to send a message to those in power that they can’t just roll over us. It’s how we used to keep corporations and governments in check. They aren’t afraid of us. They need to be.

      Fascism doesn’t allow corporate push back. Fascists adopt whatever they think will get populist support then force it into the market. They dont care about real action, only the appearance of action, which pleases their populist voters. Which is why rolling over to stupid shit like removing “DEI” verbiage is the smart choice in the short and long run for any business.

      Pushing back when the business doesn’t have support only makes their image worse. Costco is the exception and not the rule.
