  1. Nah. Hitting back is refusing to provide them with the materials they use until the CEO issues a grovelling apology on tv, quits, and the company gives piles of money to them. This is cute but itโ€™s irrelevant.

  2. You know…eventually these appeasement centers masquerading as corporations are going to learn a very important lesson. One of the group of niche corporations is going to take a different approach. It will likely be one with a lower market share but still recognizable to the public. They are going to do thus:

    They will focus on a public relations campaign that very purposefully removes politics and political correctness from their lexicon. In essence, their advertisements would be something like this….

    “Hi…we’re RC Cola. We make soft drinks…for everyone. That’s our job. Our goal is not to lecture you on how what to think, believe or envision. Our goal is to make refreshing drinks…for everyone. Our competitors, Coke and Pepsi think they hold a moral high ground which affords them the opportunity to lecture you on how you should live your lives. (shrug). We make soft drinks…for everyone. We’re good at it. Give us a try, and we promise not to tell you how to live your lives. We’ll just tell you where to grab an RC Cola.”

    Such an approach, in the current climate of disingenuous virtue signaling would be refreshing and a political message well received without really taking a position, and RC Cola would grab a massive market share just from consumers buying it out of spite.

      1. Yeah, that was probably a bad example. But, I’m reminded of Harry’s Shave…that stole a bunch of market share from Gillette. I’m waiting for a retail store to do something like this. Not only would they take market share, but it would pressure the finger in the air decision makers to abandon the virtue signaling as a result. The unisex Target restrooms would fall by the wayside.

        1. I was just pokin fun. Your game plan should definitely be put into practice! Perhaps Colombia clothing could declare they LOVE and APPRECIATE Oil Workers. But mine is a bad example too … since Colombia is probably more WOKE than North Face.

      2. Maybe it’s the water in California. I haven’t had any cola as in years, but I never thought RC was bad, certainly not compared to bottled Coke.

        1. Yes, RC wasn’t quite as good as Coke or Pepsi but it wasn’t bad at all. Believe it or not, there was a time when I was a kid when I wouldn’t drink RC cola because somebody told me it was meant for Roman Catholics only. It took me a while to smarten up.

    1. I buy that 98%.

      Only issue is: A CLASS Sales organization never shits on those they compete with: By Name

      Simply call them “our competitors”.

  3. The Oil and Gas industry could impose a 2% raw material charge for every woke attack and at every level of production. 2% on every solar power panel company with manufacturing, delivering, heating heir plants and offices. 2% on every state government purchase for their fleets of vehicles, heating their offices. They would be able raise hundreds of millions and improve my dividend in the process.

    1. How would that work exactly?

      Can you illustrate a step by step process for making that practical?

      1. “…..process for making that practical?”
        Yeah. Industry isn’t in the business of determining the merit or lack thereof of those who buy its products. They supply we buy(or not).

        1. Even those who are attacking them? Trying to drive them out of business?

          They are much more likely to just buy a few congressmen to block legislation, as they have done for generations.

      2. How does any company impose a fee? State government accounts get a fee. Individual corporations that provide raw materials to a solar company get fee. Trucking companies that deliver materials get a fee.

        If they claim targeting then they could raise fees for everyone then give credits to those who are not attacking the suppliers of energy. That is everyone not a state government, solar power company, etc. More accounting but they can sit on the float like banks do to recover higher accounting costs.

  4. A reality check for the wokerati. Unfortunately, they all seem to have their eyes closed, with fingers in their ears, screaming nonsensical tunes as loudly as possible. They won’t listen, because they don’t want to listen. Facing such reality deprives them of their beliefs, and they just can’t let that happen. As Slaw said above, until the reality hits them over the head, and they can no longer access the necessary things they need, they will continue to follow the lemming crowd. Again, None so blind as those who refuse to see! What really pisses me off, is the fact that as those lemmings rush to the cliff edge, they catch the rest of us in the vacuum they create, dragging us along, whether we like it or not!

  5. What to add?

    If the north American oil industry received anything close to a fair price for its product, the purveyors of luxury jackets to the fashionably leftist mistresses of global financiers would be out of business.

    I can think of much better uses for north America’s oil reserves than making fancy jackets for rich women who don’t know when they’re well off.

  6. Great add.
    Proving of course that the Wokerati of Gang Green are so stupid they make amoeba look sharp.
    When the worm turns I hope to be amongst the angry mob,ripping all fossil fuel sourced product out of these morons hands,stripping them of everything they have claimed we must go without..
    In the name of truth justice and fairness..
    Our Progressive comrades are really not going to enjoy these “new rules”.

  7. Pointing out such examples of blatant hypocrisy should be part of critical thinking that should be an integral part of the education establishment, but alas, the education establishment is too busy making the world a safe place for blatant hypocrisy by engaging in various forms of child abuse such as propaganda disguised as environmental studies and CAGW hysteria. Children would learn more in a one day tour of a petrochemical plant than a whole term of institutional child abuse.

  8. Idolatry.

    Once you correctly identify what you are dealing with, things become more clear. They worship themselves. Everything they do, everything they say, is to inflate their image of themselves. They all believe everyone else worships them, as much as they worship themselves. They all believe that every virtue signal, is everyone else copying their godlike example of perfection.

    They all believe they are the person at the top. Mass delusions this complete are rare.

  9. Most of the idiots who are anti-oil have absolutely no idea of how much of what we consume (besides oil as fuel) is oil-based and how drastic would be the changes needed if we were to do without oil completely. Electronics, textiles, medicines, sporting goods, cleaning products, flooring, furniture, appliances and home decor are just some…..the list just goes on and on. Are the zealots prepared to give up all this for pie-in-the-sky “sustainable energy”?? I don’t think so.
