The “king” is being dispossessed)

The banishment of conservative customers by corporations mirrors  our ongoing disenfranchisement in social media. 

What sinister power is behind this totalitarian trend?

Consumerism is the last area where the lowly individual is treated like a king.

The siren call of advertising beckons the consumer. Alexa listens for our spending plans while Big Tech compiles our purchases. Armies of “customer service reps” are ready to placate us. Brands lower prices in pursuit of our dollar. While I feel powerless socially and politically, I definitely feel “like a somebody”  as a consumer.

Alas, all this is changing. Companies don’t want your business if you don’t support the socially destructive agenda of the Central Banking Cartel. Thus the NFL allowed its players to kneel during the National Anthem without concern of losing millions of patriotic fans. Starbucks doesn’t want your orders if you don’t normalize homosexuality. Similarly, Gillette customers must be in favor of transgenderism and against toxic masculinity. The film and entertainment industry insists on abortion. 

The New American writes, “Nabisco mocks customers upset about a drag-queen Mother’s Day cookie ad. Burger King subtly encourages people to throw its milkshakes at anti-European Union populists. And a beer company advocates hitting such people “over the head with a brick.” Welcome to the new corporate activism and the principle “The conservative customer is always wrong.”

There was a time, not long ago, when businesses largely adhered to the old advice “Never discuss politics or religion.” And when explaining his lack of 1990s political activism, NBA legend Michael Jordan reportedly said, “Republicans buy shoes, too.” But that was before the advent of “woke” corporate activism.”
