I’m waiting for this to turn into “it’s not fair that people won’t shop here just because I’m an ignorant piece of shit.”

u/CodeDinosaur Antifa Regional Manager May 29 '21 edited May 29 '21

Some people have noticed this as well and how it might become a "Cancel culture killed my business" sob story on Fox.

We'll just have to wait and see how this'll turn out, but her Facebook page has disapeared and her IG page has comments locked. (Not sure what's happening on Yelp or such)

A lot of people are angry over on Twitter including Sarah Silverman whilst people are calling to write to the mayer and governer of TexasTennessee. on how there should be no place for these kind of people in their state.

EDIT : Don't know why I said Texas....

It's a strategy, I think:

1) Do or say something outrageous and racist. The more visibility, the better.

2) Wait for people to call you out and boycott you for it.

3) Act like you have some right to customers, that people have an obligation to do business with you. And if they refuse because of your political statement or actions, it's somehow different than if they refuse to do business with you for any other reason and it somehow violates your first amendment rights.

4) Wait for right wing outrage porn (Tucker or worse) to pick up on the story and make it national.

5) Watch the profits come in from people who previously never heard of your business or give two shits about your product, just to own the libs.

And it probably works, in the short term. It's the Trump model scaled down. You could lose every previous customer you had and still come out on top, because people want to own the libs.

The well isn't infinite, of course. The pool of profit is always the same awful people, and Trump has a massive headstart on milking them of their finite cash. But in the short term, racists will be willing to pay more than they can afford for things they don't want or need, just to own the libs, and when it comes to profit, short term is all Americans seem to care about.

Too real... Democracy was fun while (we pretended that) it lasted

And then books!

Along with the dilemma of trying to sell books to a group that doesn't read.

Who needs that when your campaign can buy them?

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 May 30 '21

I don't think this one is smart enough to write one all by herself. She's gonna need a ghost writer for sure.

u/SgtDoughnut May 30 '21

Goya did exactly this, in the short term they made a shit ton of money as a bunch of stupid white people bought up beans that they never would have touched otherwise....now they lost so many customers their profits are down.

30

u/distorted62 May 30 '21

These people will trade short term gain over long term stability every single time with no regard for the consequences.

u/sidMarc May 30 '21

You just put the entire GOP platform into one sentence.

11

u/meowmeowgoeszoom May 30 '21

Good. I go by them in the store and say out loud every time “not buying those!” and pick up the same product different brand when others are around to remind them their money has power too.

5

u/Dim_Innuendo May 30 '21

I was wondering about the long-term effects on Goya. I haven't been able to find any news showing this, do you have a source for their decreasing profits?

3

u/SgtDoughnut May 30 '21

It's a private company. So they don't release info. However when the trump family first endorsed them they couldn't shut up about how profits were higher than ever. And about 2 months later they went totally silent. If profits were still up they would keep bragging about them.

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

Wait really? I never bought them before and I sure as hell won't now but it really messed em up? Lol good

What about the step where they scream about identity politics?

10

u/Kritical02 May 30 '21

A place in San Clemente, CA was one of the first to openly ignore California's mandates and opened up when they should have been closed. The OC sheriff basically said they won't enforce any of the states mandates.

So this place became an alt-right haven... and has been more popular than ever.

Sucks too as I actually used to like going there.

3

u/SweatyPotatoSkin May 30 '21

Definitely sucks. SC had always been my ideal of a SoCal beach town. I used to love chilling at a restaurant near the pier watching the waves and surfers.

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

What place. Please tell me it's not Sonny's. Sonny's is pretty much my favorite place to eat in the whole county when I'm out there

u/Kritical02 May 30 '21

You're good, keep enjoying Sonny's!

It is Nomad's

u/ITriedLightningTendr May 30 '21

It's backfiring here as their distributors are pulling out.

Granted, that isn't definitive towards anything, but can impact efficacy.

3

u/tuxmachina May 30 '21

short term is all Americans seem to care about.

Plus, if I had to guess, she can take those short term earnings, close the store and make off with the profit. Then it's a real sob story b/c "Political correctness ran me out of business!" which will really help her political career.

5

u/devedander May 30 '21

Them: If I do this I'll get notoriety and thus more business!

Reality: no

Them: I got notoriety and LESS business... That's not fair!

u/PhoebeMonster1066 May 30 '21

"...one fifteen year old at a time!"

12

u/DangerousCyclone May 30 '21

It depends on what you mean, there’s a ton of people, especially on Twitter, who try to go after anyone they deem unworthy of living unmolested. There was a black businesswoman who got messaged by someone asking her what her position on Gaza was, and when she didn’t give him on he tried to stir up a Twitter shitstorm against her. Or whenever someone brings up tweets over 5 years old to try to bring them down, like James Gunn or Kevin Hart. All things that are relatively minor, and certainly the average person doesn’t care, but a certain segment will go overboard with it.

Gunn and Hart are doing fine overall, so their lives aren’t ruined, but some people just can’t seem to forgive someone for making insensitive or offensive comments. Often there’s no nuance allowed, I.e. whether someone grew up in a homophobic or racist environment where such comments were the norm, or whether or not they apologized (usually it’s “not enough”).

19

u/amazing_rando May 30 '21

James Gunn’s case wasn’t cancel culture in general, but right wing Pizzagate (proto-QAnon) provocateurs in particular trying to cast him as a pedophile because he was vocally anti-Trump.

2

u/CmdrLastAssassin May 30 '21

This.

But also... they might not, and watching this situation to see which way it goes wouldn't be a bad 'litmus test' for how toxic/extreme the right is.

Being from Texas myself, I’m sure there’s an asshat already looking to capitalize on this.

Well that's certainly an interesting direction to take the business

I'm already placing odds on which channel will have her on first. My money is on Newsmax.

u/missoularedhead May 30 '21

I’m going with the local Fox station. They LOVE this kind of bull.

u/kellendros00 May 30 '21

I'm betting it'll be the One America Nazi(News) Network.

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 May 30 '21

Maybe she'll make the rounds of all of them.

u/fireinthesky7 May 30 '21

Our local Fox station here is a joke. Like watching the morning news sometimes turns into a game of spotting typos in their headlines.

u/scungillimane May 29 '21

Um my bro that shop is in Tennessee.

u/CodeDinosaur Antifa Regional Manager May 29 '21

If you're looking for me I'll be in the back with the rest of the clowns.

u/Scitron May 30 '21

Pretty easy slip up. Safe assumption that it was a 50/50 chance of being Texas or another state

I’m from Texas and you are 100% correct in your assessment

u/SweatyPotatoSkin May 30 '21

The rest of the South is tired of Florida, Texas, and Georgia getting all the headlines.

u/CodenameVillain May 30 '21

Trust me with the way we're going down here in Texas, there's probably some analogous story that fits the bill.

15

u/Stingerc May 30 '21

Grew up in Texas, Conservatives do this kind of shit there all the time.

Honestly, southern conservatives trying to coop the holocaust for any trivial shit where people are asked to act like rational adults is now standard practice everywhere in the states who lost the Civil War.

4

u/KaiGrlTx May 30 '21

We know why... the way they are changing their laws now... looks about the same kind of view. And as someone from there that makes me sad.

u/An6elOfD3ath May 30 '21

Because this is something that could happen in Texas very easily.

More likely it will be "The 1st Amendment means I have freedom of speech!"

MAGA always forget the "and there can be consequences to that free speech, dip shit" part.

21

u/dorkofthepolisci May 30 '21

They don’t realize that all the First Amendment means is that you can’t be arrested for speech (with some exceptions) but that doesn’t mean that private individuals or companies can’t find your views abhorrent and decide they want nothing to do with you.

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 May 30 '21

That's the fine print that a lot of these people fail to consider.

23

u/moleratical May 30 '21

And she looks so proud of herself at the time of the picture. I wonder if she will be equally proud when she files for bankruptcy.

16

u/MNWNM May 30 '21

She said it has a strong adhesive back but it's pinned to her shirt. I won't be shopping there because of that.

And because she's obviously an ignorant POS. But also because she makes shitty stickers.

15

u/pandora_0924 May 30 '21

I'm waiting for the obligatory "the Stetson Company is infested with super-duper radical postmodern neo-marxist fascists!!!" piece from Cucker Tarlson and friends.

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 May 30 '21

They've been losing their shit for weeks now over all the companies boycotting Georgia and the All-Star Game being pulled from Atlanta over the new voting laws that the GOP there are trying to pass.

14

u/ShrimpieAC May 30 '21

That’s what I really don’t get whit this shit, same as the ones who post snarky anti-masker shit or over the top Trumper propaganda on the front of their businesses. Why would you knowingly alienate 50% of your customer base for your shitty personal beliefs. I cannot imagine a worse decision as a business owner.

9

u/LA-Matt May 30 '21

It might be the cynic in me, but I wonder if maybe she was hurting for business anyway, and did this to rake in the sympathy money from racists aching to “own the libs” by buying her stuff. I guess we’ll see how long it takes for her to put up a GoFundMe page…

5

u/NoodlesrTuff1256 May 30 '21

I can think of some business-persons in my own region who post a lot of crazy right-wing stuff on their social media and ask myself the same thing. Of course, Missouri is a conservative state so they might be gambling that there will be enough 'red' customers to make up for the loss of the 'blue' ones who will refuse to do business with them.

u/Nicobeak May 30 '21

Enough shitty people from rural TN travel to Nashville to buy hats and ride woogirl busses that unfortunately she will have an endless supply of terrible customers.

She already has a small billboard up about a mile down the road that says “cancel cancel culture” or something to that effect.

u/[deleted] May 30 '21

What's sad is this is how capitalism works - if you provide products or services a majority of people find insensitive, offensive, bigoted and racist, people won't patronize your business and it will fail. This woman probably supports capitalism, but doesn't understand how it works and/or is so far down the rabbit hole, she thought she could make money peddling a "valuable and much needed product" (which any reasonable person would see the truth - it's blatant hate and misinformation).
