The far left doesn't "strike", they just occupy entire parts of the social media territory. They threaten, they call to order... "Ethical purchasing": does it mean that people choose their brands based on the political ideas of the CEOs? Pretty pointless and arbitrary. Not really ethical. Ethics seems to mean "not talking to someone we disagree with" nowadays: that's pretty unethical IMHO Quote

Yes, I agree. Social justice warriors are in fact social injustice warriors. 2 minutes ago, Stromboli1 said: What kind of phone do you own? Why do you ask? Quote
Enrico_sw Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 @Stromboli1 1994 USA World Cup was the worst one IMHO... The final (Brazil-Italy) was boring: 0-0, then extra time and again 0-0... And finally the penalties. It could have been a great match: Italy had won 3 World cups and same for Brazil. So, it was a challenge to determine who would be the best team. Baggio was a great player, he did a pretty good match (even if he was sick), but unfortunately he missed his kick. (Italy should've won; they were better on the field) Quote

Yes, but both sides of the political realm do it, but the far left more so now. 6 minutes ago, Enrico_sw said: Why do you ask? For a point and example..... just asking for the brand. Quote

But as you say, we can only hear the far left at the moment; and they can be really annoying, because they don't discuss, they just claim to have the moral high ground.

SJWs lambasted the CEO of Twitter eating at Chick Fil A because CFA doesn't support LBGTQ rights and have funded some things politically against it too. Those SJWs didn't realize the phones they used to check twitter and to lambaste the CEO that they support slave labor by purchasing Samsung, Microsoft, and Apple products. Ethical purchasing is inescapable in today's society. Quote
Stromboli1 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 @Enrico_sw I almost asked you a question in the post above, but decided against it because it was unbecoming. Quote

Do you support slave labor because you have a Samsung phone? Arguments that are started over purchasing ethics are so dumb and a waste of time. Quote
Stromboli1 Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 All that dude wanted to do was get some chicken, but his mistake was posting about it on the twitter machine. Quote

Arguments that are started over purchasing ethics are so dumb and a waste of time. That's not unbecoming. And it's impossible for you to offend me on this one, because you know I share your point of view Anyway, I get your point. What I find frightening is when we get told which fight to pick. If I keep on with your point, "choices" are made in these SJW crusades. Because most of the time we are not the ones who have the information (we are not investigative journalists), people make the choices for us. If these "people" are journalists, they can channel the SJW energy to their political beliefs (voluntarily or not, it can be subconscious). But far worse: if a lobbyist force channels the SJW energy, they can just manipulate people. Quote
Enrico_sw Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 It's like wars. It's funny how wars are "sold" based on "ethical" arguments since the 1900s, but, without being a geopolitical expert of any sort, it's fairly easy to see that the correlation between wars and ethics is not that high Quote
