    An online “parallel economy” for conservatives announced its intention to go public after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved its new business merger Monday.

    Colombier Acquisition Corps, a publicly traded acquisition company, reached an agreement with PublicSq in February, Business Wire reported. Michael Seifert, the chief executive officer and founder of PublicSQ, celebrated the new company, which he said is intended for “patriotic consumers” and “freedom-loving Americans.”

    “We have witnessed the pronounced need for the values of Main Street to be represented on Wall Street. PublicSq. provides that solution for an emerging parallel economy full of patriotic consumers that are ready to spend their money with companies that respect and share their values,” Seifert said in a statement….

    I’m all in for this! The days of woke corporates having power over certain customers by deplatforming us or canceling our accounts leaving us with no place to go is over. If woke big corporates want to choose or take a side on non business political or social issues, they do so at their own peril. Now we can boycott them and find good alternatives.

    Out goes DEI, ESG, CRT. We don’t have to cater to such nonsense and better yet can invest in and buy from companies not playing that game and deliberately have low scores from those who rate that crap. Now we can invest in and buy from people and companies who deliberately defy such things and put America and Americans first. Not only will we not live in the same areas as those on the other side, we won’t buy from them either. Parallel is great!


    Conservative Americans are building a parallel economy
    For-profit polarisation

    If you are a God-fearing, gun-toting patriot, conservative companies are hungry for your business. If Google and YouTube have become too woke for you, consider ditching them for Tusk and Rumble. Before paying your monthly at&t bill, you might want to switch to Patriot Mobile, the nation’s one-and-only Christian conservative wireless network. Rather than fruitlessly scouring Hinge for fellow right-wingers you can now make a profile on the Right Stuff, a dating app that helps users get to know each other by eliciting responses to prompts like “January 6th was” or “favourite liberal lie”. To get java roasted by veterans, consider sipping on Black Rifle Coffee’s “Silencer Smooth” (light roast), “ak-47” (medium roast), or “Murdered Out” (extra dark roast). And to protest against Hershey honouring a transgender activist on international women’s day, you can instead buy Jeremy’s Chocolate, where the HeHim bar contains nuts and the SheHer one is unequivocally nutless.

    And that’s just the beginning. PublicSq, an online marketplace, is home to 40,000 firms devoted to freedom, the family unit and the constitution. Click through and you can find skin care and artisan jerky, probiotics, banks, app developers and accountants. The businesses listed hope to capture the hearts and wallets of as many as 100m patriots, who together, according to Michael Seifert, PublicSq’s founder, make up “the third-largest economy in the world by gdp”. Its ceos, sellers and most avid customers dream of a parallel economy where conservatives need never buy from liberals….

    My local radio talk show jockey Eric Erickson has been touting Patriot Mobile for a good while now. Sorry but I have a hard time basing major life decisions on political grounds.

    Look, it's all nice that they want to gather money for the conservative cause to fund businesses. However, even though that's a pretty big group with big pockets, I don't see how they can completely replace mainstream sources of funding that is the lifeblood of businesses in the economy. Sources that will want to see some form of social responsibility to get access to funding.

    Well said sir !!!!!!

    These companies are sourcing from current companies in the space. This is just enriching someone to take a cut off f the top.

    I swear, if there is one thing conservatives are good at, its the grift and taking money from the rubes ;)

    Good for them. Hope for the investors' sake it is a success. I have my doubts though. People talk a good game and still buy cheap chinese goods from Walmart because they are cheaper.

    Not all financial industry institutions are woke. That was one of the biggest points of this venture, to support this and give people displaced by woke somewhere to go. I just joined today to see which businesses I might support and where I might go if my bank ever dropped me.

    T-Mobil is not as woke as Verizon or AT&T.

    OK, I’m sure you believe that.

    I’m glad all Patriot Mobile customers can help contribute their dollars to this cause.

    They even help their Employees transition!

    “Transgender-Specific Medical Coverage
    Benefits, transportation and lodging coverage for gender-affirming medical services including surgery (top, bottom, hysterectomy, facial feminization, and more), hormones, and behavioral health services. No lifetime dollar limit on surgical services.”

    This financial help from Patriot Mobile customers can help these folks now. Woohoo

    Clearly it’s time for me to get rid of T-Mobil. Pure Talk is another option. Even with Patriot Talk T-Mobil would get far less from me there than if I stay with them.

    It'll never work. The corporate monopoly is too strong and any start up will face issues getting any support from banking to servers to sufficient internet access or just special deals for shipping like Amazon receives. Everything will cost more for them and therfore it will cost more for the consumer by a lot

    That's a major life decision for you? It's not much impact on your own life.

    It impacts the future of us, our children, and our children's children. If All If US would start being wise with our money and what we are supporting indirectly,we could make a substantial impact.

    Seems the MAGAs that shoot their mouth off the most, have the least amount of facts.

    T-mobile, Att, and Verizon have an unconstitutional monopoly on all the towers. Even if you use another phone company, they still have to rent the tower from one of these companies. T-mobile still gets paid when you use pure-talk, they just receive slightly less money and you save a little as well.

    I think they typed patriot mobile when they meant T-mobile several times. The links are about t-mobile not patriot mobile.

    Pure talk pays to use the ATT network.

    It will be a fad much like everything else such as a dating website for conservatives only and everything else.

    Maybe, but this nonsense about parallel economies is basically another version, of the separate but equal. Too bad those that think this is such a good idea, don't have a clue about the extravagant details in commerce, that one needs to shop around to get the best deal. If anyone has actually retailed shop, just food instance, knows some supermarkets are better than others with price and quality, but not every single item. Heck, ask a woman about clothes shopping. !!!!

    These threads belong in the conspiracy section.

    Most cell phone companies do in one way or the other. In my area all your cellular providers are pretty much using ATT or Verizon's towers.

    Does that mean you will stop using the expression "virtue signalling," in regards to Progressives, or will you continue saying it, but ironically?
