If we want to win the culture war it AIN’T gonna be pretty. And make no mistake, this is WAR. A war on our kids, a war on women, a war on our communities, and to Matt Walsh’s point, ‘going woke and going broke’ clearly isn’t enough to get corporations to pay attention. Otherwise, they wouldn’t pick an obvious man playing an insulting caricature of women to represent their products.
Walsh wrote a fairly brutal thread and actually called out conservatives:
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ The Left has taken away all of the neutral cultural ground. This is why brands like Bud Light and Nike are giving endorsement deals to a dude in a dress. In the past, a beer company could basically be culturally neutral. But the Left has declared that you are either with them or ...
And they don’t care if we’re with them or NOT.
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ "Go woke go broke" is the lamest right wing cope of all time. It's not even close to true. It should but it isn't. By sheer numbers we have the power to inflict severe financial damage on companies that spit in our faces, but we don't. The brands know that we don't.
It’s sort of how the Left always goes after gun rights. They know that won’t actually work but it keeps them from actually having to do anything about the gun violence they scream at the Right to fix.
But, the truth is ... pulling off a massive, all-encompassing boycott across the country is horribly difficult for any group, no matter its affiliations. You have to engender a single-minded focus among millions of people, and that is next to impossible to achieve unless something really egregious is assaulting them to their faces on a constant basis. Not saying it shouldn't be done ... because this woketard nonsense is truly egregious ... but, we need to acknowledge the extreme difficulty in making it happen.
I'm personally doing my bit in regard to several brands that I will no longer patronize, but you cannot expect people to boycott 100 different establishments at the same time - it's just not feasible.
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ We're so behind in the culture war that nearly every company is woke now. We can't boycott them all, which is a fact conservatives use as an excuse to do nothing. This attitude infects the Right.
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ "If we try to solve this problem, there will still be this other problem over here, so why bother at all?" It's the loser's mantra.
He’s not wrong.
True ... he is not wrong.
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ Here's what we should do: Pick a victim, gang up on it, and make an example of it. We can't boycott every woke company or even most of them. But we can pick one, it hardly matters which, and target it with a ruthless boycott campaign. Claim one scalp then move onto the next.
Okay, Matt ... pick one and put the word out.
Brutal.
But true.
Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) ~ The problem is that many conservatives don't have the stomach or attention span for this. And our political "leaders" are almost completely useless. There is a way to win real victories. We just need a little grit and a little follow through.
Little grit and a little follow-through.
Indeed.
Oh, and this for whatever reason triggered little Keith Olbermann.
Poor lil' Keithy-poo ... he's so needy and desperate to try to be relevant, but nobody cares. ROTFLMAO!
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
