Who says people aren't?  Do you not understand some things get legs, some do not?  Do you realize many boycotts don't work?  The amount of time you guys racking your brain over this very simple situation is funny.  

I thought for sure he figured out how social media works.  I guess Maybelline just isn't high up enough on Kid Rock's list to make a video shooting lipstick containers.

My post was about hypocrisy not sensibilities dummy.  I know your ears perked up when I addressed the retards, but, if you weren't crying about hypocrisy I wasn't talking to you. 

Most of the hypocrisy is in the form of all the social media outrage.  Plenty of the people congratulating the Bud Light boycott in here and elsewhere never bought Bud Light to begin with, and yet they’re still talking about it.  But not much discussion about Nike or Maybelline, who literally did the same exact thing as Bud Light at the same time.

Hawk tim gutter and buck would all sit there dumbfounded playing tic tac toe with a 6 year old.  

"Wait.  How on earth did you have me 2 ways? You mean to tell me whatever square I picked would have given you tic tac toe anyway? How?!"

[Hawkeye21 2,381]

I think the majority of these people boycotting are full of shite.  It's the current rallying cry for them and it's easy.  I don't think they really care as much as they say they do.  It's just the current fad right now until they are told what to do next, and they call everyone else sheep.

Good one

It appears that the left is triggered and upset by this boycott because none of their lefty boycotts have been close to this successful. 
 

this thread is very entertaining, people completely triggered because of the brand of beer other people choose drink. What a bunch of pear-shaped losers.

I know you're smart enough to know the answer to this.  You also have the capability to look up the definition of boycott.

There are a gazillion reasons to buy or not buy products.

So if I don't buy one, I guess I'm "protesting". 

Great. I must be in the heads of many manufacturers.

Boycotting is a social action. Not some dude saying, "No thanks."

Boycotting is engaging in a concerted refusal to have dealings with (a person, a store, an organization, etc.) usually to express disapproval or to force acceptance of certain conditions

What is the point you're trying to make here?

I don't buy it because I don't like them. There is no boycott.

Nice google search of a definition. Lazy.

I don't like some grocery stores because they are dirty. So I don't go there.

BOYCOTT!!!!

It's not boycotting if I don't buy their product because I don't like them. It's called freedom of choice. Jeez. You are slow.

And the other side is laughing at you because of your outrage at what beer they’re drinking but you won’t buy a Bud Light in support of your opinion.

hypocrite!

If they are, they are doubly stupid because that wouldn't be supporting my position.   Sorry to break it to you, I think it's all largely stupid.  I don't make decisions on what I buy, where I go, or what I watch because of political ideology.  I don't put political stickers on my car, do these boycotts, wear gear of parties and politicians.   

All your post proves is my point the other day talking about how you guys largely only see the world in R/L terms.   Because I think this is silly it MUST mean I 100% support trans or something?

I surmise the move here is pointing out the hypocrisy.  Which is a) funny given the propensity of hypocrisy on full display every day across the political spectrum   AND   b) likely a clapback for being called out for be hypicrits.

I mean how long have people been pointing out the unabashed hypocrisy of liberalism?  Of course they are going to give it back when someone else does it. 

Also, largely this is busting the balls of people who spend a large portion of their time here talking out about trans and their supporters.    IMO this wouldn't be 77 pages long elsewhere where trannies aren't talked about so much.   That's mostly what makes it funny - it's an evil that is being unleashed on this country!!, but all that can be done is sharing tranny pics with other people who already are (supposedly) disgusted by them and stop drinking a sh1t beer.

I have a competing perspective on this.  It has become rather common to villify "others" and often those "others" end up being the kind of people who drink sh!t beer like bud light.  So you have a swath of people being dumped on, told how they suck and how awesome these mentally ill retards are......and then they get a chance to give it back a little, at least in their minds.

In reality they have only hurt the average worker associated with making the product.  But I get that it might feel good to be giving it for once instead of taking it. 

Maybe there something to this

I get that.  Like I said, I am not overly political IRL - I think it's dumb to get that into one political party or politician.  It doesn't drive my behavior.  But that's me. I get what you are saying, and this is 100% a healthy expression of that annoyance.     I harp on the righties a lot for now acting like the left was - e.g. combating being called racists by calling everybody groomers and racists.  This is how it should be done.   

Like I said, above specifically for this board the reaction of just one little easy thing doesn't quite match up to the daily outrage over this issue and that's largely where ball busting is coming from.

It's been discussed ad nauseum, but BL was the "one that blows up" for some combination of, (1) they forgot they were selling an image, not a beer; (2) that marketing lady was a piece of work, and (3) the butterfly effect.

These false equivalencies are silly.  Nike giving yoga pants to Mulvaney doesn't impact a men's golf shirt.  Was Apple ever selling anything but a metrosexual vibe?  Maybelline, really?  

And why would Nike giving Mulvaney some Bud Light impact other Bud Light drinkers?  Because you think they’re selling an “image,” lol?   What image is that?  Buying the cheapest beer you can find that’s not Natty light?  If Bud Light is selling an image, so is Nike.  Maybelline even moreso.

Apple was only brought up because Strike said he didn’t support companies producing stuff with child labor or in third world countries.  I guess if he doesn’t use Apple products that’s actually one part of his life where he’s not a hypocrite.

And just a reminder, this was part of the reason why Maybelline and Nike were brought up.  Peefoam was literally asking.

All of them?  So I am either not a lib or not all of them GAF about Chic-Fil-A either.    I thought that was dumb too, and gave my wife the other day because she said something after I said the kids and I stopped there after a game.   I care not about their politics - they have good food, or at least way better than the standard quick options.

Yeah I remember the chick fil a boycott, I thought it was stupid and went there anyway.  Still do.  And I'm the guy that supports every leftist position ever known, if you ask the GC.

But the boycott worked, as it caused Chick-Fil-A to eventually change their corporate donation policies that was funding anti-LGBTQ organizations/programs
