Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | THE MORNING RANT: Partying Like It’s 1773 - The Bud Light Tea PartyA nation that is weary of every aspect of life being transexualized has found its moment to punch back. The rebellion against Bud Light, the nation’s number one selling beer brand (at least until now), is our modern-day Boston Tea Party in response to woke oppression. Without making this a boring history piece, there was more to the Boston Tea party than just a protest against tea taxes, it was a revolt against the unelected British government eroding colonists’ freedom and self-rule. Here in 21st century America, where we were once asked to tolerate alternative lifestyles, we are now required to celebrate them. Refusal to do so can result in an individual being effectively cancelled from participation in society. We are forced to bow in obedience to the woke monarchy. Well, Americans have had enough. And they are figuratively throwing Bud Light overboard as a statement of defiance to the woke ruling class. Don’t forget, the original tea party extended beyond Boston Harbor. British ships carrying tea were also blocked at other US ports including Philadelphia and New York. The tea rebellion against Great Britain spread across the colonies, moving them closer to independence, just like the Bud Light Tea Party is a nationwide event in the battle to free us from woke tyranny. In response to this beer boycott, America’s ruling class has been snarking that this all shows just how bigoted conservatives are, as if this is simply about Anheuser Busch hiring a cross-dressing man to become the face of their beer. No, it’s so much more than that. It’s partly that people are fed up with the denigration of women – as if being a woman is nothing more than wearing lipstick, a dress and a handbag. But it’s more than that. It’s also partly the fact that our ruling class despises the average American, as evidenced by the fact that the Bud Light marketing VP who hired Mulvaney was quite open about her contempt for Bud Light’s loyal customer base. But it’s more than that too. As Dana Loesch notes, the rebellion against Bud Light is also about the erasure of women with such ugly terms as “menstruating people” and “chest feeders.” The rebellion against Bud Light is about the invasion of women’s private spaces by biological men. To make another historical analogy, the massive backlash against Bud Light is akin to the Texian army at San Jacinto. After a long, humiliating retreat its soldiers suddenly found themselves in position to go on offense, screaming “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!” as they took revenge against Santa Anna’s army. Now the battle cry might be “Remember Loudoun County! Remember Riley Gaines!” The punishment being inflicted on Bud Light is retribution for high school sexual assaults in Loudoun County. It’s retribution for men who dominate women’s sports. It’s retribution for companies who coerce employees to celebrate lifestyles that are in conflict with some of the employees’ faiths and beliefs. So we’ve won this battle, right? Not fully. The boycott must continue until the Bud Light brand is permanently and irreparably damaged. Heck, we should aim for such a complete and total victory that Anheuser Busch has to kill the brand altogether. Bud Light is a lesson to all executives. You can lose everything if you empower woke employees and marketers to destroy your brand. Executives who don’t have the backbone to say “No” to the woke agenda should fear that their company will be targeted next.

I go into WalMart, straight to the ladies aisle near the pharmacy, grab a dozen boxes of Tampax in the pink box,
then go the beer aisle. Wait until the coast is clear, then decorate a dozen Bud Light cases with a special gift box. Doin' my part. But I think the "For Rectal Use Only" stickers are far better. Only about an inch and a half long, they look like part of the product and are likely to go home with it. Posted by: Mr Gaga at April 21, 2023 11:04 AM (KiBMU) 17

A nation that is weary of every aspect of life being transexualized has found its moment to punch back.
++++ This is possible, but I hope it isn't. By that, I mean it hope it isn't *just* about every aspect of life being "transexualized." That is but a symptom of the problem (albeit a big one). I am tired of every aspect of life being politicized. Everything from beer to sports to sitcoms to corporate mission statements to schools to everything else. Everything in life - at least, everything in life outside of individuals' personal relationships (hopefully) - is entirely political now. It's tiresome and is not conducive to engagement with anything. That's one of the reasons it's such a valuable tool for tyranny, and why I think it would be good if falls out of vogue.

"The rebellion against Bud Light, the nation’s number one selling beer brand (at least until now) . . . ."
Is that true? Bud Light was the NUMBER ONE selling beer brand? That's more shocking than hiring a dude with a dick to be the female face of the brand. Bud Light tastes like what would be left if some homeless bum sharted in muddy pond water, poured it into a rusty old oil can, and topped it off with AIDS residue from a hypodermic needle.

++++ Yes, but the underlying real reasons - which you go on to outline - must never be named. Shouting "BIGOTRY! OPPRESSION! HATEFUL MONSTER MAGATS!" is safe. It's expected. It avoids the point. They must never acknowledge the real motivators, which include very uncomfortable assessments like, "they hate us" and "we hate them and want them to suffer" and follow-on assessments like, "we're sadists and monsters and get our jollies by hurting them. Hurting them is like little blue pills for us. By rights, they should run us out of town on rails." Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 21, 2023 11:10 AM (t0OGg) 41

Bud Light is a lesson to all executives. You can lose everything if you empower woke employees and marketers to destroy your brand. Executives who don’t have the backbone to say “No” to the woke agenda should fear that their company will be targeted next.
++++ This ties in to some of what Thesokorus and I were batting back and forth on the last thread. "Good will" advertising is common, and this stunt by Bud Light is of that type. It doesn't advertise the product itself, it is trying to build good will toward the brand. When you get that wrong (deliberately or accidentally), it turns in to "ill will" advertising and has the opposite effect. It makes people *hate* your brand and avoid it all costs.

"Wokism" has an older antecedent, "virtue signaling." Corporations think it's just a harmless gesture that means nothing.

67 Hmmm, I have been pretty unplugged from news for the last few days.
I guess my question is: how 'real' is the reaction? If Bud drops the price to where it is cheaper than alternatives, will people change their minds? That question may sound black pill, but I have to say, I am kind of skeptical. As infuriating as the word 'consumer' is, I hate to say that it does describe some people. Posted by: Aetius451AD ---------- There is other cheap swill out there already and AB will have problems trying to go below those prices for a variety of reasons like stores simply not ordering it and labels like Transheuser Busch hurts the broad spectrum of beer in an essentially stagnant market. AB has essentially embraced the tar baby (see Uncle Remus tales) and every move they make will piss off some of their consumers. That is the risk of conglomerates as they diffuse risk but are fragile to a change affecting the whole unit. Disney is another example of that. Posted by: whig at April 21, 2023 11:20 AM (oqoj8) 90

Great article, great read, whole heartly agree with the sentiment and arguments made. This is not just about Bud Light but against being made to "care" and celebrate behaviors that many people find abhorrent. What I find interesting is that the "boycott" is not an organized one, just people with moral and common sense saying not anymore together. This one might actually succeed as there are plenty of great beers out there that can substitute for Bud Light.

When their last President has been hauled off in a tumbril. When corporate executives are hiding in South America, and the new government's spies are hunting them in the shadows. When schoolteachers and attorneys are all trying to pretend they were *always* baristas and ditchdiggers, because functionaries of the ancien regime are so broadly and deeply hated. When the ruling class's money and influence have become a curse to them, something they wish they'd never had, but they can't ever wash off the stain.

Can't remember who suggested this, but if you follow Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, you zero in on a limited number of public targets to campaign against, rather than trying to boycott, say, all the companies that made ads with Dylan. I think this makes sense. Focus.
Not to say that limited actions against the others are not appropriate, especially if humorous. Especially if you can show how their ads adversely affect, say, women and children.

There were too many of them, at all levels. To rout them out all out would likely have been impossible and trying to achieve it would have depopulated the country. So instead, the worst of the evildoers were publicly tried and executed. They became, in a very real sense, the scapegoats for the ideology. The high-powered executives were killed in cold blood, the ideology was repudiated and made illegal, anyone identifying with it was forced to go underground and it was made a curse. The ideology was, in effect though not in fact, stripped out root and branch without having to kill at least half of the surviving Germans.

If you haven't, listen to Bud Light's VP's podcast interview. The army recruited around DEI, ESG, trans etc. join up to gain access to position for which they are not qualified or competent. Create new criteria by which you will be judged other than succeeding in growing your brand. This woman has a Harvard undergrad and a Wharton MBA. Not one word out of her mouth in a 54 minute interview is original. Not one thought expressed will do anything for the brand she is supposed to lead. She is more interested in advancing women than Bud Light sales. Putting a woman in charge of a brand that appeals far more to men than women would have been fine if that woman had a 10 year history of working on Bud Light, lived the challenges and successes of the brand through good times and bad. Heinerscheid comes across as so out of touch with the brand she heads that she is beyond parody.

Asked for a comment, Air Canada sent a terse note from a generic email address. “Hello, we have no information to provide. Please contact the Peel Police,” the email read in full. TD did not respond to several requests for comment sent to the bank. It’s understood that the gold and banknotes were being shipped as part of an intra-bank transaction, though the identity of the other bank in the transaction isn’t known at this time.|| Posted by: andycanuck (Vwz3I) at April 21, 2023 11:45 AM (Vwz3I) 219

Don't drink beer or don't watch Disney? Fuck you, nobody gives a shit. You are literally off the table and have no individual contribution/impact whatsoever. They don't give a shit. Your individual existence ceased to matter decades ago. Collectively you enter the " friction " portion of the equation with the explicit knowledge that you get smaller and age out every single year. Literally, nobody gives a shit what you think or where you spend your dollars because it is just a rounding error. It's funny, that think your existence or opinion matters. What arrogance. What foolishness. Every government and every civil service bureaucracy and every major corporation exists to exploit you, grind you into the dust, and make you fertilizer, because you are utterly replaceable. A 2.5 billion population of global slaves and 100,000 population of global Masters is your grandchildren's future. Make sure they see the dentist, they're going to need their teeth.

I do business in West Africa. There are places like Sierra Leone and Liberia where a few years ago your neighbor was trying to kill your family and you were trying to kill his. No one has any interest in pursuing it now, because it would open up too many old scores to settle. So everyone basically has collective amnesia about those years.

The disclosure fed claims by congressional Republicans that a Justice Department run by the president’s political appointees could not be trusted to make a decision about his son based on the facts and law.
The letter said the client had information that would contradict sworn testimony to Congress from a senior political appointee, an apparent reference to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, who has offered assurances that the U.S. attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, who was appointed by President Donald J. Trump, would be free to run the investigation. In response, Hunter Biden’s criminal defense lawyer, Christopher Clark, fired back on Thursday, claiming that the I.R.S. supervisor broke the law by disclosing confidential taxpayer information and called on the Justice Department to investigate the supervisor. Mr. Clark said that the only way it was known that the supervisor’s complaints could be linked to the Hunter Biden investigation would be if the supervisor or his lawyer disclosed it, either of which, he said, would have been improper. -NY Times Posted by: SMOD at April 21, 2023 11:58 AM (RHGPo) 280

Even with a bad government, old-fashioned cash money - whether the money is any good or not is beside the point - is private. A CBDC would be un-private. Every transaction at all levels is tracked. Privacy is *impossible* in such a scheme, and bad government makes that absence of privacy a goal of the scheme.

Remember Donald Trump Jr. says we should stop being mean mean to Anheiser Bush because they bought off the Republican Party. Could not have been said better but any cvckservative RINO. Trump is demonstrating, yet again, that he is all about Trump and absolutely nothing else. That's OK if being all about Trump aligns with your interests. But just know that going in--he's not on your side, or our side, or anyone's side except his own. That was a great thing for conservatives during his first term in office. No way to assume that's going to be the case again, however.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon I guess my point was not buying swill you think tastes like cat piss is not boycotting, but, men are still helping the cause, no matter that it's not to defend women. Maybelline (as an example) is owned by L'Oreal, they own numerous brands, including shampoos. They aren't being boycotted, that I know of. Women can sometimes be their own worst enemies ie walking into a high-end makeup shop and letting a trans/fake women give them advice on a product so they don't make waves/get shamed as transphobic. Men can "boycott" an item simply because they didn't like the product in the first place, like sports teams, conservative women in general still want to teach the world to sing.

I can´t boycott Bud Light because I never buy it in the first place (I have more respect for my body than to pour that swill into it). However, I think that the boycott must not be lifted just because InBev made a gesture or two in our direction. The brand must be crushed, put out of business, ended entirely, as a lesson to businesses, to put teeth into that ¨go woke, go broke" trope.
