    Oh please, lol. My statement isn't against white people or men but IS against people who are against trans as closed-minded, who happen to also be white old men more often, and the same old white men who drink beer. If I owned a beer company, I would know it's not a wine company. The judgement I'm passing is only against a PETTY political position. And you have the nerve to be self-righteous, lol.

    No need. Some righties have tried to convince themselves a $700 billion loss is a good thing.

    Nowhere in the same hemisphere as 2019, even with crazy inflation pumping false revenue growths.

    If Bud Light actually was genuine about celebrating womanhood, then they could've used actual women to do so, but it seems like an odd way to market beer. Bud light's target customer has been middle aged men, so the VP of marketing who thought this would be a great idea need to be fired. It's now being said that some top executives at AB didn't know about this.

    Bud works with over 100 social media influencers. I doubt they've never worked with a cis woman.

    This is an investment banking on losses now for potential gains in the future. If(when) the dollar collapses, and the global economic structure goes with it, one of the models being set up to replace it is the CBDC and an associated social credit system. Companies that cooperate with the progressive narrative, by pushing trans issues for example, will have the social credit rating necessary to dominate the marketplace. AmBev or w/e may be hemmoraging profits now, but they can afford to for a while. If/when the CBDC goes into effect like they're apparently betting it will, those that use it will only be able to buy products from CBDC 'liscenced' companies like AmBev. If the CBDC becomes the dominant economy, then those companies in its good graces will have effective monopolies in their markets and they'll quickly make back any losses by having a captivated clientelle and the power to name their price.

    Thats my guess anyway. Its the only way this strategy they've adopted makes any sense.

    A-B's Woke VP of marketing said this was intended to appeal to young people. Hiring a trans-misogynist to celebrate womanhood would be one of the dumbest marketing moves ever.

    lol 'false revenue growths'. So that money earned isn't real? Should the people who earned it be worried about it disappearing from their bank statements?

    Also, the main drop off happened in 2020. Economies of the size of the US don't turn on a dime and recover instantly.

    cis woman?

    You mean WOMAN?

    I didn't ask how many social media influencers they worked with. This campaign was celebrating womanhood, so they put a man on the can. Not good marketing.

    Ads for all sorts of products have been pushing other than normal lifestyles.
    There is some anti HIV cfug that shows two men kissing. I think the same drip has an ad that depicts two alleged males on a bike and they look
    lovenly at each other and one of them nuzzles the neck of the other guy. I feel like vomiting when those ads go on. The term cis woman is stupid.
    The social liberals and liberals in general are afraid to say pregnant women. They say pregnant person. They make themselves appear to be stupid.

    I don't dislike her or Bud Light, but I would respect the company more if they would honor cops and nurses and home health providers on their cans of watery beer instead of self promoting trans nobodies. What exactly has Mr. Mullaney done.to deserve to be honored?

    That's a great question and one that any far left progressive probably will not answer.

    So you STILL don't know what cancel culture is....seems correct.

    NOBODY is trying to cancel Anheuser-Busch. People are simply choosing not to buy their product. That's normal and it is NOT cancel culture. What the left does is try to destroy people's lives by saying they shouldn't be allowed to conduct their business. That is cancel culture and it's what the left does.

    Learn the difference....or don't

    Nice try.

    Bud Light Twitter Account Face-Plants Into the Weekend, Gets Roasted All The Way Down

    'Budweiser beer blew off their base with the most absurd beer sponsorship in American history, and now they’re backtracking badly with a complete face-plant of an attempt at an apology from Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth on Friday.'

    'Anheuser-Busch is starting to realize that its dive into the pool of wokeness was a major mistake. Sales of Bud Light have crashed since the beer brand decided to celebrate Dylan Mulvaney’s supposed “365th day of girlhood” by printing his face on the side of a can and making him a brand influencer.'

    'Things have gotten so bad for Bud Light that all advertising for the beer has been suspended until top executives can evaluate what in the world happened here and how to move forward. Of course, we know what happened. A far-left vice president of advertising got hired and immediately nuked the company with its most loyal consumer base. Namely, men who aren’t really into the whole “man pretending to be a young girl” thing.'

    They tweeted out: TGIF on Friday with a picture of a frosty Bud-light.

    To which folks asked:
    • 'TGIF - That Guy Is Female?'
    [​IMG]

    • 'Surprised you didn’t post this on a Tuesday that believed it was a Friday'
    Warnings were issued

    [​IMG]

    • 'Putting the Boy in Boycott!
    [​IMG]

    • 'Sorry I already “transitioned” to another brand.'

    I don't know how the left supports this sort of mockery, would they keep supporting it if this person decided to transition to black girliness ?

    Trying to get those youngins hooked.

    People should start asking these social media influencers if they're talking about Bud light when they're getting their bottom surgery.

    They don't support it because it's mockery. They support it because it's removal of masculinity.

    Masculinity is a part of human nature but these people despise it they call it toxic.

    There's a very real reason for this. Masculine men are protectors, these are also the ones that lay down their lives when they have to.

    Attempting to erase that is a way to get power over people.

    That's why he's nasty little things like drag shows for kids and gender reassignment for children is so important and it's why it's so important to get it done as fast as possible before the point of no return.

    They want to strip masculinity away from the culture.

    The worst thing you can do is be proud of your masculinity and teach your children to be or your grandchildren to be as well. Young men will find women love them for that. It's women that want men to be masculine. That's why there is a push for these femboys like Dylan mulvaney. The gay social apps are over loaded with femboys and I'm meeting more and more that are straight.

    Incorrect. Cancel culture is a leftist thing. Prior to approx 2010 it wasn’t common for people to fear losing their jobs over political opinions. Then the far left started accusing everyone of being every ist and ism for slight philosophical disagreements. Even calling for punching Nazis while simultaneously calling everyone Nazis

    How much more deeply involved can a party be when their leader tells Americans to boycott American companies?
    "It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back - we have more people than they do - by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don't go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them," Trump said.

    Cancel culture would be an organized effort to harass and censor the executives, shouting them down, vandalizing venues where the product was sold, shaming anyone who bought the product, smearing them as fascist enablers.

    I would tell you to learn the difference about anything, ever, but I try to not assign impossible tasks.

    As for your made up definition, I will continue with the actual one. But thanks for your opinion!
