      Watch and learn.

      Despite its popularity on the Right, Don’t Tread On Me has functional appeal across the political spectrum.

      Also, if they wanted a meek and incapable populace, they would have restricted firearms purchases, rather than flog the idea that as many firearms as possible should be sold to the public.

      Don’t Tread On Me.

        I mean maybe but the ultimate “dont tread on me” is about the death penalty and nobody is at his court house. Nobody is bothering to keep that story alive and thriving. It had it’s 2 minutes of fame. We moved on. Rinse and repeat for everything on the left. Like there’s no momentum for anything worthwhile. The only time there’s traction is for things that really do not have clear goals. It all seems like the left is led astray and herded. Why isn’t Luigi on every Reddit and Lemmy and Twitter and Facebook thread right now? It leaves me with no hope for anything else.

            Thanks for illustrating my point.

            How’s that Canadian boycott going. You still seeing momentum for that? How’s Galen Weston doing this quarter? We have no ability to maintain

              How’s that Canadian boycott going.

              It’s fun! We have apps that we use to scan barcodes, helping us identify American products so we can leave them on the shelf! Any sense of loss on any nostalgic product, is easily forgotten, as i purchase trays of one and a half dozen eggs at will.

              How’s Galen Weston doing this quarter?

              Quite well in imagine. He’ll be eaten if and when it becomes warranted.

              We have no ability to maintain

              Which is why we look elsewhere for reliable trade partners.

                The momentum is dead. I get you want to say “we’re doing great” but our fellow Canadians already forgot. This is my point in all of this. Not being honest in this very serious situation is not doing any favors. The news cycle moved on. The mob moved on. There’s outliers holding the fort but that main body moved on and it’s frustrating to not address that. It’s extra frustrating that I know you care but that you’ll say “it’s going great” when you and I both know it isn’t. That the pressure stopped building.

                  The momentum is dead.

                  The fuck it is.

                  I get you want to say “we’re doing great” but our fellow Canadians already forgot.

                  Maybe the clowns you hang out with, but I’m not interested in wimps, or their wimpy friends.

                  This is my point in all of this. Not being honest in this very serious situation is not doing any favors.

                  Your point is to supress meaningful actions and attitudes, so I don’t give a shit. Patiently unhelpful.

                  The news cycle moved on.

                  The doom and gloom is gloomy, because i said so.

                  The mob moved on.

                  According to me, and in keeping with my goals of dissuading activism. You must believe my assessment.

                  There’s outliers holding the fort but that main body moved on and it’s frustrating to not address that.

                  Don’t know what you’re trying to say here, other than trying to be a momentum killer, so who gives a fuck.

                  It’s extra frustrating that I know you care but that you’ll say “it’s going great” when you and I both know it isn’t.

                  Your disingenuous empathy simulation has done nothing to move me towards the specific futility that you’re marketing.

                  That the pressure stopped building.

                  Just like your credibility as a reporter of reality.

                  Incidentally, your posting history defines exactly what you are. Not only am I unmoved by your bullshit, I’m now enjoying how inept you are at this.

                  You probably should have left it at one pithy comment and then left.

                  How much credibility can you possibly have, when you post about Joe Rogan praising Trump?

                  Hopefully you’re not a Russian on a troll farm, as your work sucks, and your superiors would move you to the front as drone fodder.

                    “Without saying the word boycott, Loblaw chief financial officer Richard Dufresne acknowledged on a conference call with analysts that the company “did notice a bit of an impact in certain markets.” However, he said that sales had returned to normal by the end of the second quarter, which closed June 15.”

                    “The overall financial impact was minor for us,” Loblaw CEO Per Bank told analysts."

                    Just like the last boycott was super effective 😆 We’re fucking cooked man. Living in denial isn’t helping shit. Like what impact or metric are you using to measure impact here
