Striking Back At Cancel Culture In The C-Suites & Boardrooms <BR>[Buck Throckmorton]

Striking Back At Cancel Culture In The C-Suites & Boardrooms
[Buck Throckmorton]

Corporate America is getting more brazen and aggressive in its role as enforcer/executioner of left-wing cancel culture. Within just the past few weeks: Disney fired actress Gina Carano for daring to express her conservative political views. Without a search warrant, Bank of America handed private credit card data to the FBI, simply based on the consumer having used it for charges in Washington DC around the time of the Capitol incident. Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Wayfair all dropped My Pillow as a vendor because its owner advocated on behalf of President Trump.

Enough. What if in response, cancel culture were to be inflicted on the executives and Directors of these corporations? Would they consider backing off?

Although most corporate Directors are little more than credentialed social climbers who have networked their way to the Boardroom, they do have the actual power to make their companies stop being a part of cancel culture. They can be incentivized to do so.

We just saw millions of angry Americans (let’s call them “Gamestoppers” swarm together to short-squeeze hedge funds out of billions of dollars - just for fun and vengeance. What if a similar army of Gamestoppers chose to cancel the executives and Directors of corporations that are at the forefront of cancel culture?

If every political contribution, DUI, tax lien, brush with the law, college yearbook, regrettable photo, messy breakup, social media post, off-color joke, etc were to be shared with millions of people, might those executives and Directors re-think the cost/benefit of participating in cancel culture? Mutual assured destruction can be very persuasive in getting an aggressor to stop attacking.

But if “my principles” are that cancel culture is wrong, how can I then advocate canceling executives and Directors of corporations? Real easy…it’s not a moral conflict. Their companies are engaging in cancel culture, and they can make it stop. If they won’t, they are bringing counter-cancellation upon themselves.

It’s akin to another one of my principles…that it is inappropriate to recreationally drop nuclear bombs on foreign cities. They are really horrific weapons. Just plain awful. But after Japan attacked the Unites States in 1941, and continued to wage war against us well into 1945, dropping nuclear bombs to stop further loss of American life became an action that comported with the principles of people like me. Further, Emperor Hirohito understood that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were actually the polite requests. Tokyo was next. And if he didn’t stop the war, then the bed he slept in was ultimately going to be ground zero for a nuclear bomb. He got the message and stopped the war. And we stopped nuking Japanese cities.

Not unlike the persuasion used on Hirohito, if the entire executive team and Board of Directors of a few companies at the forefront of cancel culture were to suddenly become targets of counter-cancellation, the rest of corporate America might re-think their role in cancel culture.

Generally, the job of a Director is simple - show up at a meeting one day a year, listen to the presentation, vote to award the executives their 8-figure bonuses, and then collect a big 6-figure check for half a day’s work. But if the prestigious job of being a Director morphs into one of public humiliation at the hands of millions of Gamestoppers playing a game of counter-cancellation, Directors can and will make their companies stop it.

6 First off, Hollywood is full of pedophiles that cheat their employees of money and the government of taxes. The left simply does not care.

BUT, if you made clear that corporate SJW tactics come at a price? That Donald Trump might represent a high water mark for them, as future nationalists demand much higher tax rates to operate in America? Sign on for a Tobin tax to motivate Europe to do the same? Then you might be on to something.

12 But if "my principles" are that cancel culture is wrong, how can I then advocate canceling executives and Directors of corporations?

Bullies don't stop until their teeth are punched down their throats. These directors need that to happen to them.

However, I am afraid the right is too undisciplined, unorganized and, frankly, too busy trying to make a living to set aside a chunk of time and effort to drive these bastards to suicide.

Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing at February 15, 2021 04:40 PM (2JVJo)

13 This whole point goes to my point.

You've got to punch a bully in the nose, good and hard.

Yes, you may find that the bully is a fighter and you get your ass handed to you, but just as likely they're bullies because people DON'T fight back. They've no idea it can hurt to fuck with people.

Even a smaller kid can be left alone if they'll fight back like a cornered cat. Bullies are looking for victims.
Bullies are predators.

I don't think most corps. fall into the category of bullies, but they need that punch just the same.

This is war. All is fair in love and war. Love metaphorically, but war is literal.

The entirety of American establishment/institutions, including government, business, media and culture and most everything else is the enemy engaged in war with American as founded and against us.

Nothing should be off the table. In war, the objective is to win. Muh Principles necessarily must take a back seat.

23 I like the thought of it, but in practice, it just doesn't make any difference. Last week, some other Disney d-bag was shown to have also made a Holocaust analogy. His punishment? Nothing.

As conservatives, I think we're left with no real effective weapons other than hoping for outrageously high corporate tax rates. Get the few real conservatives left in Washington to align with the Commies, and just go all punitive on the corporations. We've already boycotted these companies, and it didn't change their strategies. Let's let someone else bleed them for a while.

24 Has Hirohito's fear of being nuked been verified? We deliberately avoided the Royal Palace and its grounds during the Tokyo firebombing. Perhaps H thought we wouldn't nuke Tokyo for the sake of postwar stability. I don't know for sure, but I've never heard it was on the list. Then again, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chosen were left relatively untouched, so as to make it clear how devastating the new weapon was. I suspect they needn't have worried.

25 Doing what I can here, boss. Chewy.com heard from me and lost my business. Dollar General lost it, and that is HARD on a country gal. I've already canceled everyone else. Add in the fact that I normally neither know nor care who is on what board or what they may have in their sordid past, and I'm all tapped. Our government likes cancel culture too much to put in a tax to discourage it. What to do besides withhold meager dollars?

I have pretty much decided people I like will be paid in cash. That way they can decide whether to create a paper trail.

We are beyond it as a nation, unfortunately. We are the amish now. We can play by our own rules in our sandbox* and tell each other how our way is best (and it is), but the world has passed us by.

* And that world will see us in our sandbox and want us cancelled for it.

Leftists took Alinsky to heart. They hate the corporations, and yet they cut their hair, put on a suit, and destroyed "it" from the inside. Made coin doing it too.
There's things to do beyond the boycotts, which have proven to be marginally effective, if that.
Making it personal, like Buck is suggesting, would be one such way.
It's not enough sometimes to just withhold buying dollars. There has to be a personal cost to poor and malicious decisions.

We are under the rule of a globalist oligarchy. Hell, remember how they used to rant about the Russian oligarchs (and their mafia like behavior)? Those guys are pikers compared to our oligarchs.

Anyway, this oligarchy has completely taken over all our institutions. Their business are basically oligopolies.

Oligarch Oligopolists. They are the enemy, and must be destroyed.

At this point, I'm quite radicalized. I'm in favor of some serious (and painful) measures. General strike, anyone? Shit like that.

45 Right idea, but we'll rarely, at best, get a shot at people at that level. Even if we do, it will be swept under the rug because they are the Beautiful People. The only reason they ever get outed is in internecine battling within the group. We have to take it to the lower level people. For some reason, Karen can't ever get a plumber. Bozo Biden lover down the street gets shunned. Sure Latisha will get the requested service after following every step required to the exact standard.

We're in for a hard time. The days of "Chuck is a nice guy who is liberal" are over. They are supporting people who want you made, at best, third class citizens. Chuck must be made to understand in a personal way that you aren't taking it.

There's no doubt in my mind that having an obvious retard like Stinkfinger "beat" DJT was part of the Uniparty punishment of we the people for shoving the Golden Scalpweasel down their pencil necks. When I found out that Sundown was supported by the credit card companies headquartered in Delaware it became pretty fucking obvious that the Gas Chamber told the state GOP to take a dive by running a series of tomato cans against the blithering idiot. Which is why Rove lost his shit when COD beat that pile of shit, Mike Castle, in a race the GOP was going to be allowed to win. And torpedoed COD in the process. But the pompom wavers will still whore themselves out for Muh Party.

Yup. They have small stores in the rural or formerly rural areas that won't have much of any one thing, but they will have a whole lotta variety. My little town was justifiably ecstatic to get one. They try to hire locally and carry as much variety as a Walmart. They used to carry MyPillow until they decided to get political. I'm sure the media isn't covering it because it's a chain that matters not a whit to the urbanites, but it's a huge gift to DG that their core market has no idea they oppose someone for supporting Trump.

81 60 Cannot offer any knowledge-based solutions, but the key to at least an uneasy d'etent is making the lives of the Ruling Class and their political whores miserable. I'm open to any suggestions and have no moral or ethical problems with any tactics. The lack of response thus far has been shocking and has emboldened our oppressors.

Posted by: Trump poisoned my cat at February 15, 2021 04:51 PM (puu6v)

I don't know I'd say there's been no response. People have reacted by cancelling subscriptions or buying more from those they're trying to cancel, i.e., MyPillow, Goya and others.

It's also where the saying 'Get woke, go broke' has come from.

83 The biggest design hurdle for the Hogg Pillow is figuring how to combine
a narrow yet comfortable cradle for support of the pencil-thin neck
with the robust support needed for the freakishly large and misshapen
head.

Not a problem from an engineering standpoint because their empty head don't weigh much at all. A balloon would do it.

I've come a long way in my thinking. I realize some things now I would've rejected even 10 years ago. Well maybe 15 - 20, as time has been flying. The Crash of '08 woke me up.

Anyway, government is no longer the biggest threat to freedom and our founding principles. It's the globalist oligarchy and their oligopolies, which are just tools to their ends. They want to create a Brave New World.

You can read the dystopian futures of any older sci-fi novels and movies to see what this High Tech Brave New World is going to look like.

I do not want to live in such a world.

97 If you're a shareholder of any amount in any woke corporation you should be able to vote by proxy when the company has their yearly shareholders meeting. All sorts of things are typically up for a vote; board members, policy changes, etc. Decisions like the one to drop My Pillow are not voted on, but you can vote against the current board members and any asinine initiatives they've dreamed up. You'd be surprised what sort of shit the directors of many large corporations try to slide into the corporate structure. Mostly golden parachute crap and annual bonus/salary stuff.

Regardless, assuming I can come around to that analogies, conclusions, the next issue is simply logistics. If major corps and their major managers come under the combined assault of the type of action you're suggesting, what's to stop the major socmed owners from pulling the plug? In other words, your wartime infrastructure has to exist outside current socmed platforms because those platforms will damned sure be whisked out from under you.

Re the left. The irony is that much of those dystopian sci-fi novels and movies were written by older lefties. They had a fear of big money and big corporations taking over the world.

I used to laugh at that, thinking it was paranoia.

The laugh is on me, because that is exactly what has happened. And the grand irony is it is the modern left that is creating it!

If any of those old authors and writers are still alive and not senile, I'd love to see if they realize this. Or have they just been assimilated by the Borg like the current young left crowd.

Disney also had a director a couple of years ago who posted a cartoon of kids in MAGA hats being fed into a wood chipper.

Disney, and kids being murdered. Yeah, that's really funny. Because they had on MAGA hats, so those rotten kids deserved to be fed into wood chippers, right Disney?

Know what happened to that Disney director? Nothing. But hey, murdering kids is nothing compared to expressing a mildly conservative thought about not informing on your neighbors. That's beyond the pale! Joking about murdering kids, especially MAGA-hat wearing kids, in a particularly sadistic way is totes okay with Disney, but not conservative wrongthink!

I will end up with another Santa Fe it seems. It is good enough and at least they don't preach to me. Perhaps pick a company, maybe link a few sources for contacts and a sample letter to email or post? Maybe there are a few morons who have some deep google-fu and can dredge up past bad things, or maybe they won't be buried that well and us peons can find find them on our own. I just don't know where to begin.

154 It's odd that Cuomo would push back on an investigation. Why wouldn't he do what all D-tards do? Make sure the "experts" are all, or mostly sympathetic to the "cause*", and deem it investigated? "Yeah, I've been cleared of all wrongdoing. F-off."

I wanted to tell you, yesterday I listened to some of my MP3s, that were mastered from LPs, of various songs, compared to original CD versions of the same songs.

It's easy. Get on duckduckgo, enter corporate executive home page.

once you get names, find the corporate HQ physical location. Then start going through police records, public tax records, vehicle registration records, etc for the executive, xis family, children (lot of arrest records here for many of them), marriage license filing, etc.

trust me, they all have shit they want hidden and not public, not the least of which would be photos of their children's school, the car at the grocery store, a mug shot of junior in drag from xis arrest at a lgbtq bar fight. you're not threatening anything, but you are showing them they are vulnerable.

Hard to say why. Lotta variables there and making comparisons across media and formats can be tough as one is rarely comparing apples to apples.

But, there is no doubt that a ton of CDs, especially some of the earlier re-issues were very poorly mastered for the Digital Domain.
Of course, all sorts of LPs are also poorly mastered...many imports being ripped striaght off of CDs!

I went to the Fifth Avenue store, tied up a bunch of sales clerks' time and took a boatload of clothes to the register. Maybe $200-$300 bucks. I waited till they started ringing every thing up. before I took out my credit card I said, "Wait...aren't you the company with those ugly ads about Reagan? Forget it." and walked out.
