Advance Auto Parts Hostile to Its Customer Base

Chances are good that an overwhelming majority of Advance Auto Parts customers are white men. Yet the company systematically discriminates against them:

Paging Robby Starbuck. Maybe he can teach Advance Auto Parts the lesson he taught John Deere, Tractor Supply, and Harley-Davidson.

If enough woke corporations get Bud Lit for spitting in the face of their customer base, economic realities will force them to get unwoke.

On a tip from Wiggins.

Harley-Davidson Gets Bud Lit

Until just recently, the Harley-Davidson brand was iconic. Then the company went woke, discarding its healthy masculine image in favor of LGBT-oriented degeneracy. Now it reaps its fitting reward:

Congrats to Robby Starbuck on another victory following John Deere and Tractor Supply.

The next CEO who starts spouting moonbattery like Harley-Davidson’s Jochen Zeitz should be escorted by stockholders to the nearest dumpster and chucked in head first.

Harley-Davidson Succumbs to Moonbattery

You might think the one institution masculine and American enough to resist the Long March would be Harley-Davidson. Yet Robby Starbuck describes how the iconic company has thrown wokeness into overdrive:

If any brand could be more out of touch with its customers than Bud Light, it would be Harley-Davidson under the control of German moonbat Jochen Zeitz, who plans to destroy the product by making all vehicles electric by 2030.

From the New York Post:

Starbuck, a former GOP candidate for a congressional seat in Tennessee, organized an online campaign that forced John Deere and Tractor Supply to walk back [their] DEI initiatives, including eliminating Pride parades and festivals.

May Starbuck’s record of success continue.

ESG Euphemized to “Transition Investing”

Once people realize the crap sandwich doesn’t taste so good, it needs to be renamed. That’s why progressivism is now “liberalism.” Likewise, corporate moonbattery, previously known as “ESG” (environmental, social, governance), is now to be called “transition investing.”

As noted at American Thinker,

ESG as a buzzword really came to mainstream recognition after being vigorously promoted and spoken about by Larry Fink of BlackRock.

But now, as reported at Just the News,

The company recently updated its climate and decarbonization stewardship guidelines. The document makes no mention of ESG, but it shows in many ways, the world’s largest investment manager with $10 trillion in assets under management is still pursuing many of the same goals.

These pernicious not to mention unprofitable left-wing goals are now referred to as “transition investing.”

One of the main criticisms of ESG is that it pushes progressive policies through a process that circumnavigates elected officials and the courts. When investment firms require banks, for example, to meet certain ESG “sustainability goals,” capital in the market gets bound up with leftist political objectives through administrative rulemaking.

Farmers (and those of us who consume their products) are hard hit by climate cult kookiness insidiously imposed in the name of ESG through banks:

The Buckeye Institute, a free-market think tank, released a report earlier this year estimating the cost of compliance with net-zero emissions policies and corporate ESG reporting requirements on American farms. According to the report, farmers will see costs rise at least 34%, which will translate to annual grocery bills rising by 15%.

Thankfully,

The ESG movement has received a lot of pushback over the past couple of years from state legislatures and Congress.

So Larry Fink won’t say “ESG” anymore. He’ll just call it something else. That makes it harder to pass laws against.

The worst may be yet to come:

Would farmers be forced to buy battery-powered farm equipment? Prohibited from using oil or gas for fuel? Mandated to plant GMO seed exclusively and forced to use Big Pharma’s pesticides and herbicides? Could “sustainability” mean land “reforms” for the sake of “reparations” and “justice?”

“Transition investing” begs an ominous question. Transition to what?

Major Victory as Tractor Supply Caves

We’re starting to get somewhere. Bud Light was hit for $billions, yet even then Anheuser-Busch didn’t retreat from its moonbattery. But then openly wicked Target backed off on pushing depravity at children after shoppers revolted. Now Tractor Supply has thought better of favoring leftism over its customers:

A major farm supply retailer said it will eliminate DEI roles, end its carbon emissions goals and cut ties to an LGBTQ advocacy group following a social media campaign calling for the firm to revoke its “woke” policies.

Tennessee-based Tractor Supply — an 85-year-old company with 2,250 stores — made the decision after conservative commentator Robby Starbuck called for a boycott over the past three weeks on X.

Tractor Supply has brushed off the LGBT militants at Human Rights Campaign and will no longer sponsor festivals intended to showcase and promote sexual perversion.

Instead, Tractor Supply will beef up its support for veteran causes, emergency response agencies, animal shelters, state fairs, rodeos and farmers’ markets, the company said.

Sounds like progress.

Corporate America has succumbed to the Long March Through the Institutions. It is as arrogantly left-wing as the education and media establishments. Americans can’t boycott every company that rubs wokeness in our faces — at least, not at first. The guerrilla campaign starts with targeting the most egregious and the most vulnerable.

Hats off to Robby Starbuck.

Mom Thrown Off Flight for “Misgendering”

It isn’t enough never to criticize the sexually insane. You must explicitly deny objective reality at their behest. Those who even accidentally fail to comply will be punished, like the Texas mom who was ejected from a United Airlines flight for not referring to a transgender employee in accordance with his preferences.

Jenna Longoria committed a thought crime yesterday by saying “Thank you sir” to a gate agent who has decided everyone must regard him as a woman.

Via National Review:

While Longoria was allowed to board with her [16-month-old] child, her 73-year-old mother was held back, she said. Struggling to break down her baby stroller and arrange the car seat to get her crying son situated, Longoria asked a different flight attendant for help, noting that the staff member at the front refused to let her mother pre-board with her.

Then she compounded her earlier offense by referring to the transsexual as “the man at the front.”

After Longoria again asked the flight attendant for help, he told her to get off the plane, informing her that she was being barred from the flight due to her alleged bigotry, she said.

She was told she may be permanently blacklisted from all United Airlines. What do you expect from a company devoted to DEI whose CEO Scott Kirby is a transvestite?

After being escorted off the flight, Longoria implored staff to let her family get their luggage off the plane because they needed medication that was stowed away, but United refused, she said. After waiting in the airport for three hours, Longoria booked new flights with American Airlines for $1,000. […]

United declined to answer whether it would compensate Longoria for the $1,000 she spent on American Airlines tickets…

Remember this if you are ever tempted to book a flight on United Airlines.

At some point, we will get sick of having to grovel before deranged degenerate bullies. The worm will turn.

Lego Promotes Sexual Perversion to Children

Lego is a toy manufacturer. Its advertising should have nothing whatsoever to do with guys who achieve twisted sexual satisfaction by dressing as caricatures of women or animals. Yet we see this:

Corporations that have succumbed to leftism would rather desecrate children’s innocence than sell their products.

Why pander only to gays? Muslims buy toys too:
