That backlash against WOKE Target? It's working

That backlash against WOKE Target? It's working



'Earlier the Target CEO was saying that going all-in on transgender ideology was good for business.'

'He was bragging, and implicitly insulting customers who were offended by their partnering with a for-real SATANIST to market transgender ideology.'

'Tuck-friendly' crotches so that little boys can hid their peckers when they wear little girl's outfits.

'Outraged shoppers posted videos and images on social media showing bathing suits that offer “extra crotch coverage” as well as rainbow-colored onesies for infants and children.'

Parents are posting in outrage over 'offerings that include T-shirts that say “Pride Adult Drag Queen ‘Katya,’” “Trans people will always exist!” and “Girls Gays Theys.”'


Idiot CEO, who learned nothing from Bud Light, defends.

'customers weren’t as pleased as' this screwball CEO 'to find “tuck-friendly” bathing suits being shoved at kids as they buy groceries and laundry detergent. It turns out that the plebs have a line they don’t like crossed, and that line is somewhere in front of their kids.'

Please discuss whether you think that this CEO is reading his customers correctly and serving them, or if he is off on an unprofitable independent frolic that will harm the business that he was hired to grow.

 

'Why did @target hire a Satanist to design pieces for their recent "Pride" clothing line? WTF'



"Satan loves you and respects who you are... LGBTQIA+ people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God's will, so fine. We'll hang with Satan instead."


So, if we don't buy in, it looks like he hates us.

He uses this to promote his devotion to Satan

 

I wonder why he thought this was a good idea. I would think trans people that could use this would want to be discrete about it and anybody else wouldn't need it. it is just to show how woke he is? it's target we all already know.

 

Here’s Target’s stock price tracked over the last month. Notice anything?

 

It’s the same mentality that some people have about socialism; the only reason it doesn’t work is because everyone before them didn’t do it right.

 

It’s really starting to look like a race to the bottom and the competition to get there first is growing.


Is this Calvin Klein's 'Bud light moment?' Ad featuring trans man who's not had top surgery modelling a bra sparks backlash - as shoppers say it's a 'far cry' from their usual snaps of chiseled models

You wonder how this crap appears out of nowhere, is clearly orchestrated across society? And why it keeps coming when we have made it clear that we don't want it?

Communism and National Socialism are cousin ideologies. Communist controls society through government, National Socialism controls society through corporations. American Constitutional Liberalism stands against both, in our system We The People control government, not the other way around.

To answer your question its a corporate scoring system being pushed by a Cabal of Massive Investors, like Black Rock, working in concert. The idea is, that the higher your DEI score, the more investment money will flow to your company.

Inside the woke scoring system guiding American companies - New York Post

Apr 7, 2023: 'More than 840 US companies racked up high CEI scores, according to the latest report. The HRC, which was formed in 1980 and started the CEI in 2002, is led by Kelley Robinson who was named as ...'

When you start in the corporate world, you think you are serving your customers, as you move up the ranks, and get into mergers and acquisitions, you realize that the real customers are the investors. These are a very small group, often second and third generation money, probably quite a bit younger than you might think, but most importantly, they do not think like the folks who built the fortune they now control. They think like each other. They all went to the same elite boarding schools, universities, belong to all the elite clubs, and they have completely lost touch with the voice of the American People and the Voice of the Customer. Quite frankly, they think they are our betters, and that we should be listening to them.

They do notice when they are going broke. That catches their attention. For all their posturing, like the Rich Young Ruler that was rebuked by Jesus, their money is what they place all their trust in.

Folks are acting like Disney doesn't care that they have lost about $190B in market cap, in 18 months and that Bud Light doesn't care that they have lost $18B in market cap in just 7 weeks, but they care, and they care very deeply. In their reinforcing bubble, they assured each other than this would not happen. Now reality is intruding like a thrown spear into their paradigm, and they haven't exactly figured out what they are going to do about it, but I assure you, navels are in full pucker.

So, they all pat each other on the back about how mutually woke they are, and how they are going to enlighten the unwashed masses, who are us, into adopting their enlightened higher level of perception, and they decide that Dylan Mulvaney is just the ticket, and Dylan Mulvaney, until Bud Light blew up was rolling in bucks, prancing around with his pecker tucked between his legs in his 'tuck friendly' transwear, mocking women by pretending to be a 1950's female teen ditz, and making $millions with this act.



'Executives at companies like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade, whose brand endorsements have turned controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney into today’s woke “It girl,” aren’t just virtue signaling.'

'They’re handing out lucrative deals to what were once considered fringe celebrities because they have to — or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.'

'At stake is their Corporate Equality Index — or CEI — score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world.'

'HRC, which has received millions from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation among others, issues report cards for America’s biggest corporations via the CEI: awarding or subtracting points for how well companies adhere to what HRC calls its “rating criteria.”'

'Businesses that attain the maximum 100 total points earn the coveted title “Best Place To Work For LGBTQ Equality.” Fifteen of the top 20 Fortune-ranked companies received 100% ratings last year, according to HRC data.'

And why do they want this coveted 'score'?



These companies are audited by these 'scorekeepers,' demands are issued if they do not think that their 'compliance' is visible enough, and if their demands are not met, points are subtracted.



'The CEI is a lesser-known part of the burgeoning ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) “ethical investing” movement increasingly pushed by the country’s top three investment firms. ESG funds invest in companies that oppose fossil fuels, push for unionization, and stress racial and gender equity over merit in hiring and board selection.'

'As a result, some American CEOs are more concerned about pleasing BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street Bank — who are among the top shareholders of most American publicly-traded corporations (including Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade) — than they are about irritating' customers.


Black Rock CEO Larry Fink oversees assets worth $8.6 trillion and has been called the “face of ESG” which is the umbrella movement that includes CEI.

'“The big fund managers like BlackRock all embrace this ESG orthodoxy in how they apply pressure to top corporate management teams and boards and they determine, in many cases, executive compensation and bonuses and who gets re-elected or re-appointed to boards,” Woke Inc.: Inside America’s Social Justice Scam,” “They can make it very difficult for you if you don’t abide by their agendas.”'


HRC president Kelley Robinson was a political organizer for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Fink also let it be known “that if a company doesn’t engage, it will ultimately lose the license to operate from key stakeholders.”

He thinks he grants companies a revocable license to operate.

'In December, Florida pulled $2 billion worth of state assets managed by BlackRock. “I think it’s undemocratic of major asset managers to use their power to influence societal outcomes,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said at the time.'

'In his first veto, President Joe Biden last month rejected a GOP-backed bill that sought to block ESG investing — especially in pension funds where American retirement funds will be sacrificed to a radical left-wing agenda.'

'Protesters in Paris targeted BlackRock’s office there this week due to the company’s role in managing and privatizing pensions, which are at the heart of the French government’s recent retirement-age reforms.'

We cannot tire,
We cannot falter, and
We cannot fail.

We are either going to fight these folks, and win, or we are going to lose.

Now that $8.6T that Fink controls seems daunting, until you remember that Americans spend $26,466T, every year, and these big companies want a piece of that, and as much as they pretend they don't care when we pull our spending from them?

They do. Make no mistake. We DO have the power here, if we will use it. And I'm confident that we are, and that we will continue to.

This is also why I prefer DeSantis to Trump. Trump was all for backing off on Bud Light because they donate to Republicans, DeSantis seems to have a much better grasp of the bigger game that is being played, and better understands that it must be engaged, and we must prevail.

 

As far as woke goes, offering some clothing options for trans-people seems pretty harmless. Nobody was harmed by tuck-friendly clothing. Nobody is harmed by seeing tuck-friendly clothing. That image of the dude in the bra up above was strange, but I solved that problem by scrolling past it. It was pretty easy, just an extra little wiggle of my finger on my mouse wheel. In fact, I did it all from the muscle memory I've developed from scrolling past the rabid ravings of those who see transgender people as the biggest threat to society and want to elect a man like Donald Trump to fix it.

I know what you're thinking. But you're wrong. I'm no trans-ally. You can view my post history here to prove it. But I am also not a person who sees trans people as a threat to anything. Yes, men shouldn't play on women's sport's teams and I'll oppose that everywhere it happens, but it's not happening everywhere. It barely happens at all. It's a problem, yes, but far far FAR from our biggest problem.

Each side seems to be great at pointing out the problems with the other, but can't ever recognize the damage and folly of the "solutions" they suggest to fix them. Woke culture got you down? Elect Donald Trump! Nothing like a self-obsessed piece of garbage to fix this nation's problem! MAGA and Republicanism got you down? Here's a list of mentally unstable jackasses who have no connection with reality who are going to push nonsense that accomplishes nothing except make a small percentage of the population feel good and give a slightly larger percentage of the population something to virtue signal over.

The culture wars are all we have now, because neither side has anything worthwhile to say on more important issues. Besides, the culture war stuff is much more geared towards the social media rage politics that has taken over our lives. The political theater from the progressives and the MAGA/Fake Patriot Caucus would not carry half the oomph if those folks in these videos and memes had to stand there and talk about actually governing something and making something work. It's much better to appeal to base emotions when you have nothing of substance to say.

 

Walmart, Lowes and Starbucks has also gone down, so has Home Depot, Giant, Pepsi, Nucor, Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, etc. What are you getting at?

 

The least they could do is give the man a bra that fits.

 

Seems every village has an idiot -- and Target also has one.

 

And now our pets at PetSmart

 

Putting aside the fact that Pride Month is supposed to be coming up anyway, it's really even more pitiful that people are worried about this for pets than for people.

 

OKAY, GROOMERS: The North Face Debuts ‘Summer Of Pride’ With Campy Drag Video Amid Ongoing Bud Light, Target Backlash.

'Despite ongoing customer boycotts against Bud Light and a new controversy with Target’s latest Pride Month push, outdoor sports gear brand The North Face just debuted an over-the-top “Summer of Pride” promotion on social media.'

'As of Wednesday afternoon, Instagram comments were still turned on for the post. The video clip features drag queen and self-described environmentalist and community organizer Pattie Gonia. The influencer co-founded the non-profit organization The Outdoorist Oath.'

'Why is North Face aiming their merchandise at kids?'

 

Those look more like tie-dye designs than anything. Are you telling me that you guys are in full bitchfest mode over what basically amounts to tie-dye clothes?

 

Some may be tie dyes in the specific rainbow colors so what?

Why all this pandering to about 2% of the population homosexual and about .01% cross dressers?

 

Why do you care? Did they stop carrying straight dude clothes?

 

Because apparently that 2.01% spends more then the collective conservative base in their store.

 

I asked first

Why all this pandering to about 2% of the population homosexual and about .01% cross dressers?

 

Threats of harm to employees should be taken seriously.

...
“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,” Target said in a statement.

“Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior,” the Minneapolis-based retailer said.

Please back that up then I'd love seeing you prove 2.01% our spend 50%.

 

Why are people scared of transgenders?
Very very few are violent or threatening to anyone.

 

Brick and mortar retail is doing worse while online retail grows?

 

I'm sure they decided that they could sell a little extra by having someone buy clothes for pride month when they didn't really need to buy clothes. You know maybe some LGBTQ people have kids, and wanted them to have something to wear during pride month.

So, now you go. Why do you care?

 

What’s wrong with rainbows?
