BOYCOTT CHERRY

Today we once again discuss boycotting.  Simply, it doesn’t work, it hasn’t for some time and you only end up hurting yourself.  Yes, I know I have a dog in this fight, as about half my income comes from Amazon sales commission.  I could tell you that I’m immune from this influence, but I can really only leave that for you to decide.  I know eventually if trends continue I’ll lose both that income and possibly my presence on Google Blogger.  Which amusingly had a screenshot the other day saying they don’t approve of or check any blog content.

*

I hope this is so.  It would be nice if someone would assume free speech is a virtue rather than a vice.  Let all those Euro-Trash Kommie Kunts lock you up for disapproving of Muzzies or Israeli influence in sovereign nations affairs ( while I don’t approve, disliking national strategy is not the same as disapproving of a culture or religion, nor is it ignoring America’s similar actions ).  I don’t approve of censorship or gun control, and I understand the losses of freedom.  I also must admit to a general roundabout adherence at least to some degree of those rights still.

*

Gun control IS wrong, but your personal choices are also somewhat the culprit.  Nothing is honestly keeping you locked up in NYC or DC or other mostly gun free zones.  Your freedom is a one way Greyhound ticket away.  Only YOU are keeping yourself from being armed.  Obviously the ballot box is never going to work again ( and, I’ll throw out there now, voting is THE best example of boycotting not working worth a damn.  You boycotted Democrats your whole life.  They still get most of their crap passed, even through Republican controlled administrations ). 

*

Voting with your feet still works.  Perhaps one day, under the auspices of energy conservation during the next oil shortage, interstate travel will be banned.  But until that time, those in charge certainly do NOT want internal immigration to cease.  How else will all the illegal Mexicans move from Sanctuary State California to the rest of the nation?  Take advantage of that, boycott the commie clusters, and vote for more freedom.  Boycotting states doesn’t work either, by the way.  Immigrants just take your place, and tax revenues remain high, even if they have to come from the federal government from welfare.

*

I was reading an article by Ron Unz, on yet more books being banned by Amazon.  Which of course pissed me off to no end.  I take books VERY seriously.  Some scumbag douche monkey molesting whore who folds a corner over on a page to save their place deserves a horse whipping.  Likewise, a rectal munching twat who wastes paper and ink turning drivel such as a ghostwritten Obammy political screed into a book should be tarred and feathered.  Book burners should be burned themselves, and book banners need to wear a pair of concrete boots and be given a free day at the beach. 

*

Bezos banning books makes me livid!  For goodness sakes, he’s even now banning books by Nation Of Islam Blacks.  During Black History Month.  I’m not sure when “tentatively” turns into “a gusher of every Wrong Think item possible”.  Alas, my overly analytical nature came to my rescue.  I did nothing rash, like eliminating Amazon ads and moving all my books to Lulu.  Amazon isn’t even really a book company anymore.  And I was hardly buying any more mail order books anyway, before the bans started.  I wasn’t buying for other reasons.

*

The large companies publishing already went Full Retard communist.  The independent authors almost universally publish crap unfit for High School newspapers.  I already have so many reference books that it is almost a complete waste to continue purchasing those, and the fiction authors I Must Buy from ( on one hand, the number of authors I buy immediately and unquestionably.  A shout out to:

https://philwbooks.com/ and https://www.facebook.com/claytonlindemuthfiction/

) I don’t need Amazon’s help.  They could publish anywhere.  Amazon is evil.  I grant you this.  Amazon is also LESS evil in a lot of cases.  Perhaps Wal-Mart is worse, yes?

*

If I want affordable clothing I cannot get from a thrift store ( too long of legs with not wide enough waist, it is hard to find slacks ), Amazon is a much better buy than Wally ( in SOME things.  Wal-Mart still gets my business for tightie whities, which are twice the price on Amazon ).  Wal-Mart with very few exceptions sells very poor quality clothing.  If I boycott Amazon, should I then buy from Wal-Mart, a company that has personally screwed me over way more often than Amazon? Amazon might be owned by a rich humper that wants communism, but he doesn’t screw customers.

*

And yes, I’m aware of the issue of working for the man, plus some screwing of vendors.  But isn’t Wal-Mart MUCH worse on both accounts?  All I can do is compromise, and Cherry Pick Boycott.  Meaning, I give ALL companies I don’t like as little of my business as is possible, because I know I only hurt myself with any complete boycott.  The best hand lotion I’ve found ( I must keep my skin on my fingers from cracking in the winter, so as to write )?  Wal-Mart.  The generic type for a buck.

*

So, I should spend three times that amount, or use half as much, to punish Wal-Mart?  Remember, I have no ax to grind with the company on a political or philosophical level.  Wal-Mart didn’t open trade with China.  They were only one of many big box stores shutting down small businesses.  They still sell guns, affordable firearms, even if they don’t sell semi’s.  That actually HELPS small businesses, doesn’t it?  My only beef with Wally is the many times they screwed me selling bottom of the barrel quality items. But I still go back there.

*

To cherry pick only the best and cheapest.  Their behavior cost them 90% of my retail dollars, and yet I haven’t screwed myself over.  Because I cherry pick everywhere else.  Yes, you argue, but the whole point of a boycott is that if each consumer shoulders a tiny bit of hardship, we put greedy bastards out of business.  True.  And if it stood a snowballs chance in Hell of working, I’d gladly share in that burden.  I used to go to see a movie in the theatre all the time.  Once movies turned crappy, I stopped.  Yet, they still churn out crappy movies.

*

I used to rent videos several times a week.  I stopped doing that, and the movies kept getting worse.  My boycott didn’t do a thing.  The movie companies just make a profit overseas.  I refuse to support the NRA, which if not actually evil are some incompetent idiots.  They are still in business.  If true that they pander to the gun industry rather than gun owners, a boycott solves nothing.  If I boycott Amazon for book censorship, will that work?  No.  They also sell overseas.  And let me elaborate on that, as it is important.

*

America is no longer a unified nation.  I maintain it is far more balkanized and divided even compared to 1861, but your opinion may vary on that.  Regardless, absolutely no case can be made for any kind of happy outcome from here.  We are several if not dozens of different nations, held against our will in a union and bribed to shut up with imperial booty.  If every single White Male Conservative was united in their views, we still would not be 20% of the population.  Amazon is selling to the other 80%, “overseas” or “foreigners”.  Your boycott is senseless.

*

The country is going to fragment from politics and civil war, and our economic system is going to implode from unsustainable practices.  How is boycotting anyone going to be worth a wet fart in a rainstorm?  The only one hurt from a futile gesture is you, unable to stockpile as many supplies.  Not only that, once you start boycotting, where do you stop?  You cannot wear shoes, due to the child labor practices.  You can’t use any illicit drugs, due to the cartels practicing slavery.  Should you even be eating crops grown with monopoly company seeds?

*

If you buy anything from China, they use political prisoner labor.  If you buy a Ford truck, it is from a Mexican factory.  Don’t eat Hershey’s, since they also moved to Mexico.  Did you fill up on Saudi Arabia gasoline?  They are practicing genocide in Yemen.  I trust you aren’t buying Tula ammunition, which would be unpatriotic.  Don’t buy an RV, even if you can find one of decent quality, since they kicked all the Union folks out of the assembly plant and hired minimum wage workers.  Don’t eat any grocery store meat, since they probably hire illegals.

*

See where I’m going with this?  What good is picking a pet peeve boycott, when ALL your buying supports evil?  That house you are living in?  Mexican labor.  Your bread came from a company that displaced a family farm.  Your vacation to Hawaii supports a company profiting off of the illegal overthrow of the sovereign Hawaiian government.  The company you work for is probably suppressing free speech and pushing the PC agenda, AND funding Democrat candidates.  I could go on for days.  Instead, relax.  Go fund the end of the world bunker on subsidized cheap crap.  It will all be over soon.  Big centralized evil replaced by smaller units of decentralized local evil.
