First we have to define the term. In my humble opinion, to the individual, Boycott is just another word for making a choice— nothing more nothing less. The key difference between boycott and making a personal choice is the act of convincing others through reasons behind your personal choice to do the same in order to effect change. It’s a public call to action. Why do we boycott? 3 reasons.
1. Prices are too damn high.
2. Moral Principals.
3. Societal and Political views of the people behind the product, service or business.
We’ll take them one at a time.
1- Prices are too damn high— Have you been to a grocery store lately? Bacon and meat prices are through the roof – to damn high so what do we do – we adjust what we buy and what we refuse to buy on that basis. T-Bone steaks? Nope. Pot roast? Not this time. Rib eyes? Never, even if I were rich. $15.00 for the equivalent of 3 bites? Not on your life. By the time it reaches your stomach, it could have been a peanut butter sandwich. This is more of a silent boycott because it’s usually confined to friends and family. I doubt you’ll see a call to boycott bacon on the evening news anytime soon.
2- Moral Principals— Like Disney and their new woke agenda erasing the concepts of family, men, women including boys and girls, simply turning them into nameless persons looking more like walking dollar signs than anything else. Walt Disney would be turning over in his grave if he knew how his dream is being completely destroyed. More on this to follow.
3- Societal and Political views— Woke liberal news outlets being caught in one lie after another. Sure doesn’t sound like an intelligent or effective business model.
You have to ask…What do Corporations gain by intentionally alienating half the country by making their political and moral views public knowledge especially when it becomes obvious they’re catering to such a small portion of the American public? Let’s ask mainstream media.
But mainstream media hasn’t been mainstream for decades. Even though networks spinning a Woke Agenda with ratings hitting record lows, CNN, MSNBC, and the like continue to cater to this very small but specific audience. It’s like they’re prostituting themselves out like an unattractive hooker who refuses to have sex with anyone but a 400 pound homeless drug addict while waiting for liberal birthing institutions (now called colleges and university’s) to pop out more and more indoctrinated kids who will subscribe to their continuous nonsense, blatant ideology backed up by lies so they can finally tell the addict to take a hike. They no longer try to hide their obvious partisanship and seem to be fine with that even with all the retractions they’re forced to make from the lies they’ve told. CNN’s ratings are so low that is seems like one could advertise their weekend garage sale between Wolf Blitzer’s commentary in the situation room and the next woke guest who will be on after the break.
And do we dare mention TV and the movies? Let alone the Oscars? Requirements for submitting a film for Oscar consideration are so difficult to meet these days, The Oscars will become nothing more than a 3 hour infomercial for movies most will never see which means the inevitable end of the Oscars and other awards shows. When it comes to movies and what we see on TV and commercials, forced inclusivity is not inclusive – it’s tokenism.
So why do they do it when they must know that by doing so, damages their bottom line. Meaning money, ratings, market share— in other words… money.
What’s the old saying? If you go woke, you go broke. Again, the question. Why are so many what was once thought of as fairly mainstream corporations publicly supporting an agenda hailed by such a minuscule part of society? And when I say minuscule, I mean minuscule. How minuscule? At best, 3%.
But what exactly is mainstream these days? According to the media, you’d believe that at least half the United States is gay, half the United States is trans with most guys preferring to dress up in skirts so they can go into a girls locker room just as long as they remember to shave first and Biological males having every right to compete in girls sports. This is now considered mainstream? The new normal? Perhaps this could indeed be the reason. Makes one wonder how many of these CEO’s got their jobs.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a Live and let live kind of guy. I have Nothing against the personal choices of others but when approximately 3% of an entire population have control of or at the very least a strong influence in what’s being seen on 95% of network Television and other media outlets, it becomes necessary to let others know they are not alone in their decision to change the channel or refuse to support a business, product or service with our dollars while at the same time, convince others to do the same.
Again, I have absolutely nothing against gays— trans… any lifestyle for that matter but…..
when you’re an average family watching a rom-com on a channel which once had more mainstream family core values where the two primary characters are a heterosexual couple who in one scene are visited by their neighbors who conveniently are in an open sexual relationship with a bi-couple who live across town and work as local school board members asking if they happen to have an extra bottle of chocolate syrup they can borrow because these friends of their’s are waiting. Then another scene where we find our couple enjoying a latte and purple macaroon purchased at the local diner owned by their other neighbors who happen to be an interracial gay couple showing photos of a set of Cambodian twins they’ve recently adopted. Neither of which contribute to the story but they do check all the appropriate “WOKE” boxes which is all important when it comes to the WOKE community.
While I’ll be the first to admit the above is an exaggeration and everyone says “if you don’t like it, just change the channel,” Media with the shows they produce appear to be doing their utmost to normalize the lives of 3% of a population by giving the viewer the impression that this is in fact normal and prevalent throughout America. So much so, there are no longer enough channels available to turn to leaving many to just switch off the TV. Like I said, I have no problem with the life choices of others but that doesn’t mean I want to see it plastered on every TV show I used to enjoy. Again, when it comes to movies and what we see on TV and commercials – Forced inclusivity is not inclusive— it’s tokenism. Especially when it’s addition has absolutely no relevance to the story being told. Just because the entertainment industry makes it a point to portray a WOKE society in the content they produce as normal, doesn’t mean it is normal in society. Perhaps that’s the real objective here. If they plaster this in just about everything we view then eventually we’ll begin to believe this is in fact normal. There’s a big difference between something that might be socially tolerable and something portrayed as a new social norm.
While I’ve never personally called for or advocated for a boycott, I feel compelled to do so in regards to Disney. Yes, as promised earlier, we’re back to Disney. What the hell are they thinking? Doing away with “Ladies and Gentlemen” along with “boys and girls,” removing all mention of traditional gender roles at their theme parks?
Some argue Disney is doing their best to be inclusive which brings up yet another question. Why would they undergo such major cultural changes to accommodate less than 3% of a population when 97% of that population was perfectly fine with what Disney has been doing for over fifty years? The only conclusion I can come up with is Disney isn’t trying to accommodate the 3%, they’re intentionally trying to convert the 97% to their WOKE way of thinking and they appear to be more than willing to take a financial hit to accomplish this.
And if Disney’s strategy couldn’t get more baffling, now we’re hearing their vocal opposition to Florida’s HB 1557, also touted by the fringe left as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. How many times does it have to be said? Nothing in the Florida legislation itself mentions the word gay. It states that “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
So I guess the Disney Corporation is fine with teaching sexuality and gender roles to children five to eight years olds? Seriously? If this is true then The Disney Corporation must also be fine with the teaching of five year old children how to masturbate and handing out condoms to 5th graders. If you find the above statement difficult to believe then I invite you to read my brief article on The War on Children: Exposing The Comprehensive Sexuality Education Agenda and click on the link provided and watch the eye opening videos.
What could be the next big revelation Disney comes up with? One can only speculate. Could it be revealed Mini Mouse was actually born a male but decided at the age of nine to undergo hormone therapy, then have his genitals removed fashioning a small cave it it’s place along with a lifetime supply of lube for his effort? And Mickey is OK with this? With everything going on at Disney lately, it’s not too difficult to imagine.
Epilog
There comes a point in time in everyone’s life when we say, enough is enough. When it comes to politics, we convey this message with our vote. When it comes to just about everything else, we convey our message of approval with our dollars by patronizing businesses with purchasing their products and services. The opposite should be just as important to convey a message of disapproval and it’s not just Disney, it’s all corporations who have made the decision to publicly join the Woke wagon train because it’s your dollars that fund the direction and decisions they make whether societal or political.
When your favorite restaurant that you’ve been going to for years changes it’s menu or the food is no longer prepared to your liking with your comments continuing to fall on deaf ears, you find another restaurant.
They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease but when the wheel keeps squeaking no matter how much grease you give it— perhaps it’s time to go back to the bike that worked just fine. And for all you WOKESTERS and those in the LGBTQRST Community who approve of what Disney is doing and teaching sexuality and gender roles to five year olds, I hear New York City will welcome you with open arms.
You know were heading down a dangerous path when the current government in place can’t even define the word “woman.”
Enough is enough.
