Calvin Klein and Target Push LGBT Envelope

Posted on by

Now that moonbattery has driven American culture over the edge, Calvin Klein’s attempts to be edgy no longer succeed. Their ads are depraved, disgusting, grotesque, nightmarish, insane, and evil, but not edgy, because they merely drive home the viewpoint the degenerate ruling class wants you to have.

Via Daily Wire:

A Mother’s Day ad campaign from Calvin Klein featured a transgender ‘man’ as part of the brand’s inclusive spread.

The pregnant “man” is topless. The horrific scars where her breasts had been sliced away in the name of LGBT ideology are disturbingly displayed.

It is an advertisement out of the twisted depths of hell. Hardcore pornography could not be more inappropriate. No doubt that is what the advertising industry will serve up for us next.

“Today, in support of women and mothers around the world, we highlight the reality of new families,” the company shared in the Instagram description, which included a variety of photos including a mother with just her child and an interracial couple as well.

Clothes ads are not about clothes anymore. Now they are about promoting the progressive agenda.

Comments on Instagram were overwhelmingly supportive, which is unsurprising in light of this corporate statement:

“At Calvin Klein, we tolerate everything except intolerance— any intolerant commentary will be removed, and any accounts issuing hateful statements may be blocked.”

That’s how they magically fixed it so that everyone agrees that women should start families together, and some of them should amputate their breasts and take drugs that make them grow beards, with the Devil knows what consequences for the children they conceive through artificial insemination.

“We look forward to continuing a positive and inclusive dialogue in partnership with our community.”

As they made clear, by “dialogue,” they mean monologue.

Calvin Klein is not alone in its politically motivated psychosis. For example, Apple added a pregnant man emoji to its platform in compliance with the liberal demand that we pretend such a thing is possible.

Target, known for going out of its way to support homosexual adoption and men in the women’s dressing room, continues to push perversion:

Target has partnered with a brand called TomboyX to create and sell compression tops, which are marketed as a less restrictive version of a chest binder, used to flatten a female’s breasts and aid in a social transition.

Chest binders are the LGBT equivalent of the foot binders that have been inflicted on girls in China, to the world’s horror. Despite what the media might tell you, chest binders do not transform girls into boys. However, they can inhibit breathing, fracture ribs, and cause a great deal of pain.

Showcasing these items as if teenagers everywhere have been looking for a chest binder or unisex article of clothing grossly overestimates the number of LGBT youth, normalizing these items for kids who are not their target audience. This goes beyond a need to represent a population that claims to be marginalized. This is a blatant attempt to normalize something about which most teenagers cannot relate.

Like education under the domination of LGBT groomers in public schools, retail has been subordinated to perverted social engineering.

Are we below the fold yet? Here’s what passes for advertising in a world run by moonbats:

The least you can do for decency, sanity, and good taste is never under any circumstances give business to corporations at the vanguard of moonbattery like Calvin Klein and Target.

Get Woke Go Broke: Subway

Posted on by

Subway chose one of the most obnoxious moonbats in America to represent the franchise. There was some initial blowback. Let’s see how Megan Rapinoe is turning out for them in the long run:

Subway has struggled in the year since it hired soccer star and left-wing activist Megan Rapinoe as a national spokeswoman, with hundreds of stores closing across the nation. …

In 2021, 1,043 Subway locations closed, the New York Post reported Thursday. …

Rapinoe’s left-wing political activism, especially her kneeling in protest during the national anthem, made some franchise owners and customers very unhappy with the chain’s decision to make her the face of the brand.

Rapinoe is not known so much for playing soccer, since no one watches women’s soccer, as for proclaiming her devotion to sexual deviance and indulging in Colin Kaepernick antics to demonstrate her hatred of America. Even by moonbat standards, she is unappealing in the extreme:

Regarding her public displays of disrespect for Old Glory, Rapinoe barks:

“Being a gay American, I know what it means to look at the flag and not have it protect all of your liberties.”

The more special privileges they acquire through crybullying, the more oppressed they claim to be.

Ludicrously, Victoria’s Secret proclaimed its wokeness by signing her up as a model. To put it mildly, Rapinoe is no Adriana Lima:

All that matters to our ruling class is identity politics, not the bottom line. Liberals are too foolish to stay in power indefinitely.

Levi Strauss: Woke Clothes

Posted on by

Tragically, some of the most iconic American brands have been corrupted by moonbattery. Nike is a particularly odious example. Levi Strauss is another:

Levi’s signed a “We Stand For Democracy” advertisement that ran in the New York Times attacking popular election integrity measures, while [President and CEO Chip] Bergh called election integrity laws such as Georgia’s “racist” and “a step backwards.” Bergh also stated that Levi’s would work with legislatures to “make sure that these restrictive laws don’t go into place.”

In addition to working to facilitate election fraud on behalf of Democrats, Levi’s devotes vast amounts of money to attacking our right to bear arms. Also,

The San Francisco-based company was reportedly “nothing but supportive” of former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s controversial national anthem protests.

Due to encouragement by the liberal establishment, Kaepernick’s disrespectful antics during the national anthem went nationwide during the Black Lives Matter riots, infecting other sports and reminding many that there are better uses for our time than watching overpaid tools play pointless games.

Despite Bergh’s sanctimonious virtue signaling, Levi’s exploits the low-wage labor of communist slave state China and vomits toxic chemicals in Mexico. Regarding the company’s solidarity with the working class,

During the heart of the pandemic, Levi’s paid millions in dividends to wealthy shareholders while furloughing thousands of its workers.

Former brand president Jennifer Sey turned down a $1 million severance package so that she would be free to tell the truth about the repressively cultlike ultraleft climate at Levi Strauss. Don’t let her sacrifice be in vain.

Corporate America is rotted through with moonbattery, so you can’t boycott everyone who deserves it. But Levi’s is more devoted to wokeness than most. Wearing anything with the Levi’s tag is like putting on a sandwich board reading, “I am a moonbat.”

May Levi’s share the fate of CNN+.

Dog Identifies as Cadbury Bunny

Posted on by

If “Lia” Thomas can identify as a woman, then a dog can identify as a rabbit:

A therapy dog who lives in Cincinnati has officially been named the 2022 Cadbury Bunny.

Annie Rose, an English doodle, visits nursing homes and reportedly loves doing therapy work. …

The win means Annie Rose is set to star in this year’s Cadbury Easter Bunny commercial, plus, her family won $5,000.

The rabbit community remains silent for fear of being labeled transphobic if any real bunnies complain.

Behold the abomination:

In other Cadbury news,

The food giant that owns the Cadbury brand is embroiled in fresh allegations of employing child labour after an investigation obtained footage of children working with machetes on cocoa farms in its supply chain.

Children as young as 10 have allegedly been found working in Ghana to harvest cocoa pods to supply Mondelēz International, which owns Cadbury. Campaigners say the farmers are being paid less than £2 a day and can’t afford to hire adult workers.

News like that requires heavy duty virtue signaling. A dog identifying as a rabbit won’t cut it. Now would be a good time for Cadbury to donate a few $million to Black Lives Matter or to a fund to have children chemically castrated on behalf of the LGBT agenda.

Kicked Off Flight for Let’s Go Brandon Mask

Posted on by

Covid hysteria has turned air travel into totalitarianism in the sky, making flight attendant an ideal occupation for petty tyrants. Remember when a Spirit Airlines stewardess forced a countermoonbat to take off his Covid muzzle because its message “Let’s Go Brandon” offended her? Allegiant Airlines takes it a step farther by actually kicking fans of Brandon off of flights. Although I can’t see it, this guy apparently committed a thought crime by writing the forbidden meme on his mask:

As noted at Not the Bee:

There was nothing obscene on that man’s mask that would warrant such an episode.

Yes, it is a reference to “F*** Joe Biden,” but in the way “Dang” and “Heck” refer to stronger words. It’s a joke, but apparently jokes (or anything criticizing the regime) are now in violation of the FAA rules.

Lavish corporate support for Black Lives Matter marked the absorption of the business world into ultraleft politics. That means suppression of political speech can be outsourced to the private sector, rendering the First Amendment null and void.

Jennifer Sey Paid $1 Million to Tell You This

Posted on by

Levi’s was an iconic brand, representing the American ruggedness and individualism that tamed the Wild West. Yet I would rather go out in a loincloth than anything featuring a Levi’s tag. Let’s let former brand president Jennifer Sey explain why, since she paid $1 million for the opportunity:

When I traveled to Moscow in 1986, I brought 10 pairs of Levi’s 501s in my bag. I was a 17-year-old gymnast, the reigning national champion, and I was going to the Soviet Union to compete in the Goodwill Games…

The jeans were for bartering lycra: the Russians’ leotards represented tautness, prestige, discipline. But they clamored for my denim and all that it represented: American ruggedness, freedom, individualism.

Having been corrupted by moonbattery, Levi’s now represents the diametric opposite.

My tenure at Levi’s began as an assistant marketing manager in 1999, a few months after my thirtieth birthday.

Being a leftist in most respects, Sey loved it at Levi’s. However,

Things changed when Covid hit. Early on in the pandemic, I publicly questioned whether schools had to be shut down. This didn’t seem at all controversial to me. I felt—and still do—that the draconian policies would cause the most harm to those least at risk, and the burden would fall heaviest on disadvantaged kids in public schools, who need the safety and routine of school the most. …

I was called a racist—a strange accusation given that I have two black sons—a eugenicist, and a QAnon conspiracy theorist.

The other suits at Levi’s leaned on her to shut up about Covid.

Meantime, colleagues posted nonstop about the need to oust Trump in the November election. I also shared my support for Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary and my great sadness about the racially instigated murders of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd. No one at the company objected to any of that.

But Sey also wanted to talk about the senseless damage inflicted on children in the name of Covid hysteria. When she went on Laura Ingraham to talk about it, her fellow Levi’s employees came after her for being “anti-science” at the company’s struggle sessions, which they call “town halls.” After drawing attention to the strong correlation between Covid mortality and obesity, she was also denounced as “anti-fat.”

The Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion told her to do an “apology tour.” She refused.

Denouncing her as a racist — the ultimate thought crime — meant her heresy would not be tolerated.

The fact that I had been asked, back in 2017, to be the executive sponsor of the Black Employee Resource Group by two black employees did not matter.

Why would it matter? If you do not conform to doctrinaire leftism in all matters, you are a thought criminal. Doctrinaire leftism requires you to regard as gospel truth whatever Dr Fauci claims is “The Science” at any given moment. Thought criminals must be canceled, because they are racists.

In the fall of 2021, during a dinner with the CEO, I was told that I was on track to become the next CEO of Levi’s—the stock price had doubled under my leadership, and revenue had returned to pre-pandemic levels. The only thing standing in my way, he said, was me. All I had to do was stop talking about the school thing.

Too late. The Twitter mob caught the scent of a dissident and demanded her head.

In the last month, the CEO told me that it was “untenable” for me to stay. I was offered a $1 million severance package, but I knew I’d have to sign a nondisclosure agreement about why I’d been pushed out.

Sey turned down the money so she could tell her story. If it is worth $1 million to tell, it’s worth taking a few minutes to read the whole thing. It’s fitting that it would appear on the Substack page of Bari Weiss, formerly of the New York Times, another liberal who was bullied out for ideological impurity by the woke Taliban.

GoFundMe Freezes $10 Million Donated to Freedom Convoy

Posted on by

In a sense, we already have an omnipresent totalitarian regime like China’s. The difference is that our rulers outsource tyranny, so that for now it is not imposed directly by the government. However, when all major companies act aggressively on behalf of the same political agenda, they are in effect arms of the government — an authoritarian government that is not restricted by borders. GoFundMe is a case in point:

GoFundMe blocked the release of almost $10 million in donations to the “Freedom Convoy,” Friday in connection with “the promotion of violence and harassment” in Ottawa.

“Promotion of violence and harassment” is an accusation any advocate of liberty can expect from authoritarian leftists. Readers will recall that, in order to justify using the FBI to intimidate them, the Biden regime made similar allegations against parents who spoke out at school board meetings against their children being subjected to antiwhite race hate indoctrination.

Donors had two weeks to ask for a refund, and the rest of the money the group raised would be allocated to “credible and established charities” chosen by Freedom Convoy organizers, the site said.

It is unclear what options the organizers had to chose from when deciding who would get their money.

The Freedom Convoy enrages the liberal establishment because it is a protest against increasingly absurd Covid dictates. When you donate money through GoFundMe to any cause that does not have the liberal establishment’s stamp of approval, it may not go to its intended recipient.

Recall that GoFundMe blocked donations to the legal defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, a good kid who was getting railroaded on behalf of Black Lives Matter, and who despite the liberal establishment’s efforts was found innocent in a court of law.

At the risk of stating the obvious, no one who values freedom or their own money should ever again use GoFundMe. But GoFundMe is no outlier.

Due to their extreme intolerance, it is often not possible to do business with liberals. Yet as we learned during the Black Lives Matter riots, nearly all companies position themselves as advocates of the radical left.

This is creating an unstable situation. The Freedom Convoy that so terrifies progressives is only the beginning of the pushback.

Netflix Is in a Tailspin

Posted on by

Even with Biden still in office, there can be good news. Leftist streaming service Netflix, which has gone out of its way to poison American culture with moonbattery and degeneracy, is listing astern and taking on water:

Shares of Netflix — which has a production deal with former President Barack Obama — were down nearly 12 percent in morning trading Monday after the stock plummeted more than 20 percent Friday after the streamer reported weaker-than-expected subscriber results for the fourth quarter and a pessimistic outlook for the first quarter of the new year.

Netflix stock has lost 40% of its value since the start of the year. At this rate, it will be worth nothing whatsoever by March.

Hundreds of thousands of subscribers are expected to bail out of Netflix as popular shows migrate to other streaming services.

This might set you laughing even harder:

Netflix has blamed the recent quarter’s weak subscriber growth on the COVID-19 pandemic…

If any company stood to benefit from the insane lockdowns almost as much as Amazon, it would be Netflix, as Big Government spent the country into oblivion paying people to sit home watching television instead of working.

As usual, the company didn’t address consumer disenchantment with its increasingly woke, left-wing content, including the climate-change satire Don’t Look Up and the titles produced under the Obama’s production banner.

The show Cuties, which raunchily sexualized prepubescent girls, was particularly egregious. Subscribers to Netflix are once again encouraged to consider cancelation.
