Bud Light Boycott Already Costs Anheuser-Busch $15.7 Billion

Quote:

The market value of Anheuser-Busch InBev, whose fourth bestselling brand is Bud Light, dropped $15.7 billion since April 1, based on a conversion to U.S. dollars by Investor's Business Daily using data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That's the day Dylan Mulvaney, a TikTok influencer and transgender woman, pitched the Bud Light brand during the NCAA March Madness tournament.

Meanwhile, the other major publicly traded global beer brands have added $3.2 billion in market value during the same time.

The Bud Light backlash to the promotion was almost instantaneous. Conservative consumers called for a boycott of the beer. Bud Light sales are down more than 23% as of the week ended on May 6, said Jared Dinges, beverage analyst at JPMorgan Chase in a note to clients Tuesday, citing data from NielsenIQ.

"We believe there is a subset of American consumers who will not drink a Bud Light for the foreseeable future," Dinges said. "We believe a 12% to 13% volume decline on an annualized basis would be a reasonable assumption."



Dylan is a man. Stop saying that Dylan is a woman. Dylan will never be a woman.



Target loses $9B in week following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing

Quote:

Target has lost $9 billion in market value since angry social media users called for a boycott of the Minneapolis-based retailer over its rollout of the “PRIDE” collection featuring LGBTQ-friendly clothing for children.

A week ago Wednesday before the controversy erupted, Target’s stock closed at $160.96 a share, giving the big-box chain a market capitalization of $74.3 billion.

As of early trading on Thursday, however, shares of the company were trading off 1% at $141.76 — capping a weeklong tumble that has shrunk the “cheap chic” discount retailer’s value to $65.3 billion.

That amounts to a 12% drop that has shaved a whopping $9 billion off the company’s market capitalization.

Target said on Tuesday it was removing some items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month after intense backlash from some customers who confronted workers and tipped over displays.

Revulsion you say? To a surprising degree, our political beliefs may derive from a specific aspect of our biological makeup: our propensity to feel physical revulsion. . . . To a surprising degree, a recent strand of experimental psychology suggests, our political beliefs may have something to do with a specific aspect of our biological makeup: our propensity to feel physical disgust.

“Liberals And Conservatives React In Wildly Different Ways To Repulsive Pictures” or “The Yuck Factor”

In the mid-2000s, a political scientist approached the neuroscientist Read Montague with a radical proposal. He and his colleagues had evidence, he said, that political orientation might be partly inherited, and might be revealed by our physiological reactivity to threats. To test their theory, they wanted Montague, who heads the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at Virginia Tech, to scan the brains of subjects as they looked at a variety of images—including ones displaying potential contaminants such as mutilated animals, filthy toilets, and faces covered with sores—to see whether neural responses showed any correlation with political ideology. Was he interested?

Montague initially laughed at the idea—for one thing, MRI research requires considerable time and resources—but the team returned with studies to argue their case, and eventually he signed on. When the data began rolling in, any skepticism about the project quickly dissolved. The subjects, 83 in total, were first shown a randomized mixture of neutral and emotionally evocative pictures—this second category contained both positive and negative images—while undergoing brain scans. Then they filled out a questionnaire seeking their views on hot-button political and social issues, in order to classify their general outlook on a spectrum from extremely liberal to extremely conservative. As Montague mapped the neuroimaging data against ideology, he recalls, “my jaw dropped.” The brains of liberals and conservatives reacted in wildly different ways to repulsive pictures: Both groups reacted, but different brain networks were stimulated. Just by looking at the subjects’ neural responses, in fact, Montague could predict with more than 95 percent accuracy whether they were liberal or conservative.

Revulsion is what keeps people from eating spoiled food, living in unsanitary or septic conditions, getting physically close to someone who is obviously diseased, or engaging in socially destructive behavior.

It's probably a good thing, from an evolutionary standpoint.

Signym, a Vulcan, Mr Spock for example, would comprehend that instinctual revulsion, uncontrollable, makes for bad judgment in politics: "One defining characteristic of disgust, though, is that it occupies a blind spot in our psyche. As Pizarro notes, “It’s such a low-level, almost noncognitive emotion that you really aren’t thinking that much about it.” Compared with anger, happiness, and sadness, he says, disgust is also “less open to change based on your judgment, your thoughts, your reasoning.” Chocolate in the shape of dog poop, he points out, is still gross. The emotion is more reflexive than reflective. “That is the rhetorical strength of disgust,” Pizarro says. “It’s a little hack. You hack into brains pretty quickly and easily by making them feel disgust,” bypassing logic and reason to sway judgment."

Revulsion is,to some extent,taught.

Some cultures don't understand 2D representations (pictures)
In order to understand a gun pointing at the viewer, you have to know what a picture is, and you have to know what a "gun" is.
Viewers who aren't repelled by repulsive pictures are also called "sociopaths'

As an aside, I've often wondered how gays ram their dicks into shit

But in the context of socially destructive behavior, well, that accounts for the social context and the measure of sociopathy. Maybe liberals are really sociopaths. Judging by WISHY, REAVERBOT, and SECOND, I'd say that's a good working hypothesis.

Signym, you are on the Russian side of the Ukrainian War and Putin is anti-gay. The Russian side of the Ukrainian War and the Anti-gay War are connected by Signym's and Putin's disgust.

Putin's Anti-Gay War on Ukraine, Mar 14, 2022 — A pervasive ideology of "traditional values" has taken hold in Russia, portraying LGBT rights and Ukraine as existential threats to the nation. https://www.google.com/search?q=putin+antigay

Using a far cruder tool for measuring sensitivity to disgust — basically a standardized questionnaire that asks subjects how they would feel about, say, touching a toilet seat in a public restroom or seeing maggots crawling on a piece of meat — numerous studies have found that high levels of sensitivity to disgust tend to go hand in hand with a “conservative ethos.” That ethos is defined by characteristics such as traditionalism, religiosity, support for authority and hierarchy, sexual conservatism, and distrust of outsiders.

Broadly speaking, studies of possible connections between ideology and susceptibility to disgust fall into two categories. The first involves measuring subjects’ sensitivity to disgust as well as their social or political ideologies and then calculating the correlation between the two. The second category explores whether exposure to disgusting subject matter can actually influence people’s views in the moment. But whatever the type of study, the same general finding keeps turning up. “We are at the point where there is very solid evidence for the association,” says Michael Bang Petersen, a political scientist at Aarhus University, in Denmark. His own research finds that “disgust influences our political views as much as or even more than long-recognized factors such as education and income bracket.”

Researchers have theories rather than answers. At a deep, symbolic level, some speculate, disgust may be bound up with ideas about “them” versus “us,” about whom we instinctively trust and don’t trust. In short, this research may help illuminate one factor — among many — that underlies why those on the left and the right can so vehemently disagree.

Liberals vs Conservatives: God explained.

South Park’s Chef rant about God is golden.

• Stan: Why would God let Kenny die, Chef? Why? Kenny's my friend. Why can’t God take someone else’s friend?

• Chef: Stan, sometimes God takes those closest to us, because it makes him feel better about himself. He is a very vengeful God, Stan. He's all pissed off about something we did thousands of years ago. He just can't get over it, so he doesn't care who he takes. Children, puppies, it don't matter to him, so long as it makes us sad. Do you understand?

• Stan: But then, why does God give us anything to start with?

• Chef: Well, look at it this way: if you want to make a baby cry, first you give it a lollipop. Then you take it away. If you never give it a lollipop to begin with, then you would have nothin' to cry about. That's like God, who gives us life and love and help just so that he can tear it all away and make us cry, so he can drink the sweet milk of our tears. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that give God his great power.

God was divinely indifferent while Russians killed 62 million Russians on the way to a better world. I'm pretty sure some tears were shed for at least a few of them but God didn't stop Stalin's simpleminded plans. All-Knowing God didn't even send hints to Stalin that his methods for building a paradise on earth for the proletariat would inevitably fail by 1991. Jumping forward to today, American conservatives feel that if God won't stop the Woke Plague then a dictator such as Trump can stop it in much the same way as Trump can stop the Ukrainian War in just a day if he were President.

Conservatives want an American dictator. That's not a metaphor.

They are not being metaphorical when they are saying that dictatorship is in America’s future. It may come across as a lament, but in their eyes it is still a viable prescription for the supposed “woke mind virus” that has infected the country. And if you think that dictatorship is the cure for what ails America right now, I fail to see how that is at all different from an endorsement.

Have you ever heard of meat puppets? There is a band by that name but it means more. Meat puppets are pulled by the strings in their viscera -- feelings of disgust about wokeness, uncontrolled patriotic feelings about Mother Russia and her glorious H-bombs annihilating Putin's enemies, and feelings of all-encompassing God's love for his meat puppets, whether living in Russia and voting for Putin or living in the US and longing for the return of Trump. Putin and Trump give direction and a simulacrum of life by pulling the gut strings for their meat puppets.

It’s No Coincidence That Hitler Was a Germaphobe

Hitler appeared to have been highly sensitive to disgust, and research shows this trait is linked to numerous dimensions of ideology.

It was an ideology where Hitler’s obsession with infection thrived, becoming the essential Nazi metaphor: Germany was the body, Jews were the parasites.

Examples are abundant in his speeches and writings:

SIX, whereverI look up "socioapth" I see SECOND written all over it. I don't know about his personal life but his online life is written in big, glowing letters

Quote:

They often:
break rules or laws
behave aggressively or impulsively
feel little guilt for harm they cause others
use manipulation, deceit, and controlling behavior
https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/sociopath#What-is-a-so
ciopath
?

Sociopaths have less consistent behavior than psychopaths. Psychopaths are more controlled and charming. ... Sociopaths experience anxiety and find rage far harder to control. They may act without thought and, as a result, they may have a harder time blending in. Inconsistencies between their words and their lives may be easier to see.
Consistent behavior patterns in sociopaths include:
Lack of empathy for others
Impulsive behavior
Attempting to control others with threats or aggression
Using intelligence, charm, or charisma

NOT SECOND! How about threat and intimidation?
Quote:

to manipulate others
Not learning from mistakes or punishment

Lying inconsistently despte getting caught at it multiple times, using the same trollig behavior over and over
Quote:

Lying for personal gain [or pleasure]
Showing a tendency to physical violence and fights

or bragging about it
Quote:


https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/signs-sociopath

Sociopathy refers to a pattern of antisocial behaviors and attitudes, including manipulation, deceit, aggression, and a lack of empathy for others...Sociopaths may or may not break the law, but by exploiting and manipulating others, they violate the trust that the human enterprise runs on.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/sociopathy


The list of common traits you might see in someone who has antisocial personality disorder, says Dr. Coulter, include:
Not understanding the difference between right and wrong.
Not respecting the feelings and emotions of others.
Constant lying or deception.
Being callous.
Difficulty recognizing emotion.
Manipulation.
Arrogance.
Violating the rights of others through dishonest actions.
Impulsiveness.
Risk-taking.
Difficulty appreciating the negative aspects of their behavior.
https://health.clevelandclinic.org/sociopath-personality-disorder/



I read somewhere, can't find it now, that sociopaths are always looking for a target of their hate. That fits SECOND to a "T".

There's no clinical distinction between sociopath and psychopath, but psychopaths are generally thought of (even by psychiatrists) as being more self-controlled and planned out, able to carry off charm as part of their arsenal.

And then there's this:
Quote:

Internet Trolls Really Are Horrible People
Narcissistic, Machiavellian, psychopathic, and sadistic.

... They even constructed their own survey instrument, which they dubbed the Global Assessment of Internet Trolling, or GAIT, containing the following items:

I have sent people to shock websites for the lulz.
I like to troll people in forums or the comments section of websites.
I enjoy griefing other players in multiplayer games.
The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt.

Yes, some people actually say they agree with such statements. And again, doing so was correlated with sadism in its various forms, with psychopathy, and with Machiavellianism. Overall, the authors found that the relationship between sadism and trolling was the strongest, and that indeed, sadists appear to troll because they find it pleasurable. “Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others,” they wrote. “Sadists just want to have fun … and the Internet is their playground!”...

https://slate.com/technology/2014/02/internet-troll-personality-study-
machiavellianism-narcissism-psychopathy-sadism.html

Which is worth a full read.

Anyway, don't take what SECOND posts seriously.
I know I don't.
HE'S JUST A TROLL.

During WWII, the Japanese understood that Americans were the most horrible and degenerate people on Earth while the Japanese were Gods' own precious people. The Japanese were mistaken about Americans being sociopaths and not just because of losing a war. Every time the Japanese got what they wanted, millions of innocent people died in China and Korea. That is a pretty good test that the Japanese, not the Americans, were horrible and degenerate people.

6ix and Signym have taken the Russians' position as the truth while the Ukrainians' position is anti-truth. 6ix and Signym are mistaken about the pathology of Ukrainians and not just because Russia will lose this particular war. Every time the Russians have gotten what they wanted, millions of innocent people died. That is a test the Russians failed many times over many decades but 6ix and Signym are still on Russia's side right this moment in opposition to what the American government is doing. Because 6ix and Signym are on the Russians' side, there is some kind of seriously pathological thinking going inside their heads as there is in Russian heads.

Right-wingers like Elon Musk and Ron DeSantis have become fond of citing the alleged power of the “woke mind virus” to explain why major corporations are tolerant of and even cater to social liberalism. They need to invoke this mysterious contagion to avoid accepting the obvious explanation: Most Americans have become relatively liberal on social matters — look at the transformation of attitudes on same-sex marriage — and corporations have been adjusting to their customer base.

But while talk of the woke mind virus manages to be both sinister and silly, I’d argue that there really is what we might call an anti-woke mind virus — a contagion that spreads not across people but across issues.

Here’s how it works. A significant faction of Americans, which increasingly dominates the Republican Party, hates anything it considers woke — which in this faction’s eyes means both any acknowledgment of social injustice and any suggestion that people should make sacrifices, or even accept mild inconvenience, in the name of the public good. So there’s rage against the idea that racism was and still is an evil for which society should make some amends; there’s also rage against the idea that people should, say, wear masks during a pandemic to protect others, or cut down on activities that harm the environment.

This rage is somewhat understandable, if not forgivable. But the weird thing is the way that it infects attitudes on issues that don’t actually involve wokeism but are seen as woke-adjacent.

The now-classic example is the way hostility to mask mandates, which were mainly about protecting others, turned into highly partisan opposition to Covid vaccination, which is mainly about protecting yourself. Logically, this carry-over makes no sense; but it happened anyway.

The same thing, I’d argue, applies to energy policy. At this point, investing in renewable energy is simply a good business proposition; Texas Republicans have had to abandon their own free-market, anti-regulation ideology in the effort to strangle wind and solar power. But renewable energy is something environmentalists favor; it’s being promoted by the Biden administration. So in the minds of Texas right-wingers the wind has become woke, and wind power has become something to be fought even if it hurts business and costs the state both money and jobs.

If all this sounds crazy, that’s because it is. But that’s Texas — and, I fear, much of America — in 2023.

The GOP has manufactured 5 fake crises to deflect and distract from a real crisis:

1. “Woke.”

2. “Trans people.” Former President Donald Trump says that one of his top priorities if he’s reelected in 2024 will be a “sweeping federal rollback of transgender rights.” But why have he and so many Republican lawmakers targeted transgender people as dangers to the public? There’s not a shred of evidence that trans people are threats to anyone. But they’re easy scapegoats.

3. “Critical race theory.” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s “day one” executive order banned the teaching of critical race theory. DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have also banned it from the schools. Here again, though, there’s no evidence of a public threat. CRT simply teaches America’s history of racism, which students need to understand to be informed citizens. Banning it is a scare tactic to appeal to a largely white, culturally conservative voter base.

4. “Couch potatoes.” Ronald Reagan railed against so-called “welfare queens” who allegedly collected benefits without working. Today’s Republicans rage about “couch potatoes.” Both characterizations are cruel pretexts — and racial dog whistles — for imposing additional work requirements on public assistance for those in need, when the needy often have difficulty finding work that pays enough to live on.

5. “Out-of-control government spending.” Rubbish. In fact, discretionary spending has fallen more than 40% in the past 50 years as a percentage of the nation’s gross domestic product (from 11% to 6.3%). Lately, rising deficits have been driven by Social Security and Medicare (to be expected, as boomers retire), and by defense spending and George W. Bush’s and Donald Trump’s huge tax cuts that mostly benefited the wealthy and big corporations — and that will have added $8 trillion and $1.7 trillion, respectively, to the debt by the end of the 2023 fiscal year.

All five of these so-called crises have been manufactured by the GOP. They’re entirely made up.

Why? To deflect attention from the near-record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.

As the super-wealthy and big corporations pour money into politics — especially into the GOP — they don’t want the rest of America to notice they’re rigging the economy for their own benefit, their unrestrained greed is worsening the climate crisis, and they’re also undermining democracy.

So, the game of the Republican Party and its major donors is to deflect and distract — to use scapegoating, racism, and outright lies to disguise what’s really going on.

We're done with this shit. We've been done with it for a LONG time.

I listened to the radio all day long and didn't hear Coldplay's People of the Pride one single time.

The female DJ did mention something about their radio station's website featuring "pride" concerts this month before one ad break, but if you weren't there listening to the radio right when she said it, you could have listened all day and not even realized it was June 1st.

Last year, for the entire month of June, it didn't matter what station I was listening to when I was working out in the garage I had to hear that song every fucking hour.




Companies better decide quick if they want ESG loans or if they want consumer's money. This ain't 2016 where it was just internet savvy folk that were aware of all of this woke bullshit. It's now invaded every aspect of the normie's lives too, and almost nobody is on board with any of it. Even a majority of Democrats.

/

Quote:

Omitting or burying crucial context is one of the many ways in which newsrooms can, either intentionally or subconsciously, obscure the truth and mislead audiences.

And when it’s intentional, we may call it what it is. After all, a lie of omission is still a lie.

And as far as lies of omission are concerned, certain newsrooms are guilty of it last week following a spate of bomb threats leveled against Target stores. The threats were made by individuals who claim they’re upset about the retailer’s decision to remove certain pride-month related merchandise, not its decision to sell that merchandise. But you’d hardly know this from a casual glance at the news.

“Target stores see more bomb threats over Pride merchandise,” the Washington Post reported this week. The subhead adds, “Locations in at least five states were evacuated this weekend, and no explosives were discovered.”

And this is how the story’s opening paragraph reads, “Target stores in at least five states were evacuated this weekend after receiving bomb threats. Though no explosives were discovered, the incidents tie into the backlash over the retail chain’s Pride Month merchandise.”

You may be shocked to learn that it was the self-declared allies of the pride movement, not its conservative adversaries, who made the bomb threats, according to both local media and law enforcement officials. Yes, the threats allegedly came from people claiming to be upset about the removal of pride-themed merchandise, not from belligerent conservatives upset about the merchandise itself.



Nope. Not shocked.

False Flag operations are Democrat's stock in trade.

Though this wasn't a false flag in and of itself, the fact that the Leftist Media paints the picture that the threats were from people against the child grooming puts it right on par with a false flag operation. But we expect this from the Leftist Media already as well.

The normies have awakened. You're about to find out what woke REALLY means.
