the pro hunting non woke company list is short....
A few things I'd like to pick at here.gt, what I post is not meant towards anyone either. and I do understand that it may come off as a negative or defeatist attitude. I 100% agree with everyone here, and what guys are trying to do is correct, but the direction or method is wrong. when realizing how small our community is on the global scale, any attack on it from within can have drastic consequences. avoiding a small company that offers us the products we need just because they don't agree is considered an attack. you have to understand that a small company needs to agree with whoever holds the cards and that's not us. all that will happen is you may close that company and the big dog will move to the next guy all the while you lost product and hurt guys like us who work there. it's a double edge sword really. what I have found is follow nature, keep that little guy around as he's easy to manipulate. focus on the puppet master not the puppet, and when we are ready, we cut the strings.
its far easier to focus on small things but the only thing you will ever accomplish is well, small things. this fight goes deeper than you can imagine and sadly we are at the point where either we go deep or get out of the water.
here's a scenario for you to think about. if one day you say Exxon is anti so I'm not buying from them anymore. everyone else agrees and follows you. now you say great were making progress, right? wrong. here's why, what you didn't know was that the X gas station down the road was actually owned by Exxon but that info was buried deep and far. now, you were ok with paying a little more because that station had similar beliefs, so you actually gave Exxon even more money to fight us and, in the process, lost your cheap gas. (this of course is not real).
With wokeism becoming the socialism pandemic that it is, I'd like to see a list of every company that is proclaiming normal people to be hateful, intolerant and anti-science when that actually describes themselves, in every way.Is there a running list of companies that are pro or anti-hunting?
I'm not going to change my life for it, but some of the ones shoving it in our faces more and more on a daily basis are going to be a good start at least. Unless I'm mistaken Dick's Sporting Goods made themselves the poster child for this thread a few years back.I just think it’s gonna take a lot of work to be that passionate and idealistic and you’re probably gonna end up not buying anything or doing anything
You do you. I don't see people who disagree with me as the enemy or as evil.It's kind of like the old saying. "All that's needed for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing." You may not have the will to care what these companies stand for, but the enemy does and that's why they're being pandered to by corporate America. If people don't begin to care there will no longer be an America left to hand over to our children. Unfortunately that's no longer hyperbole.
I came across this thread while doing some research on jetboil stoves. Here I found the American made MSR stoves. I have nothing against jetboil, but given the choice I'm going to spend just a few more dollars buying the American made windburner.
I'm just going to sit here and give you a minute to catch up and read the rest of the thread before I respond to this.You do you. I don't see people who disagree with me as the enemy or as evil.
Cheers brother.
That's really not necessary, because I'm not going to read through all of this stuff. Thanks though. I just responded to you because you quoted me. Have a good one.I'm just going to sit here and give you a minute to catch up and read the rest of the thread before I respond to this.
