This is still the funniest boycott of all time. Budweiser has tents at pride fests for 20 years and chuds never cared

Gay guys boofing Bud light in leather gear: I sleep

A trans lady that is excessively happy all the time gets a single bud light can with her face on it: real shit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

It really does highlight how fucking evil these fucks are that a Trans person being happy was enough to launch a nationwide boycott.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Longer than that. Bud has been a gay beer since Coors had a polygraph test for employees that, among other things, asked if employees were gay.

This is so unhinged I had to look it up and sure enough it's both true and substantially worse than I imagined

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

The founder really tried to live up to his name of Adolf Herman Joseph Coors.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's the strangest part of the whole Bud thing and why they fired people over it. Every gay bar, queer event that I've been to has Bud Light everything. They've been sponsoring us for decades and every frothingfash thinks this is something new or somehow over the line. They do the same with cishet places as well. Just ridiculous over it.

Bet that can is a priceless artifact now though.

Why do they call it "Bud light" anyway, does it have reduced alcohol or something? Is there a "Bud strong" advertized to like, the Army reserve? Please explain these Americana details to me fellow light-bear

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

"Light" in American beer parlance means it's lower in calories and alcohol content. They came about initially because there were a lot of reactions to changing diets for Americans. Lots of stuff happened at once, like a very powerful dairy lobby, increase in high fructose corn syrup, big pushes to gain weight basically. A lot of Americans actually took notice and started developing modern diet culture, and part of that was cutting out beer. Companies responded by offering beers lower in calories. They stuck around because they're less bitter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Yea there's a regular budweiser comes in a red can. Bud light is so much more popular most people refer to the twp as bud and bud heavy. Light beer has slightly lower alcohol percentage and slightly less calories because the goal of them is that you can drink 20 of them at a barbecue even if you don't like beer.

Pose as a conservative influencer, short a stock, expose them for being woke, profit. Buy the dip, wait for the controversy to blow over, profit twice.

Hey now they didn't say anything about farming govt subsidies

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

~~wait for the controversy to blow over~~

short a new stock and move the "discourse" to that

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago

10/10 DD I will be adopting this strategy going forward.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago

There's a nonzero chance that the campaigns are organized by people shorting these companies to begin with.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is literally why these fake moral outrages keep happening. Bourgeois get incredibly rich doing this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I tried explaining this to a conservative and they looked at me like I was crazy. People are so invested in this fake moral outrage that they can't see it for what it is.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because if you're not with them, you're against them! And trying to explain that they're being duped into getting angry about stupid nonsense means you're one of those woke sjw cuck soyboys who are trying to destroy freeze peach!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I did it with Disney a bit. Bought some shares at ~$78 when the frothingfash was at it's peak [redacted] and sold for $95 when Kang the Domestic Abuser got shitcanned. Didn't get rich, but a half priced Steam Deck OLED is nice.

It would probably be nice if you don’t use “REEE” anymore

Damn sounds foolproof

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Works even better if you're a chud influencer or the company "Wokeing it up" as you can also make money by short selling the outrage dip.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Isn't that illegal? :pondering-the-line:

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

Shockingly no, insider trading applies to "material, nonpublic information" about the company and its economic actions. If you're trading based on advance knowledge of a subscription price hike or a change in recipe, that's insider trading. If you're trading based on people getting mad for literally no reason or a company's continued compliance with a law or social norm, that's not insider trading.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

No, shorting a stock, yelling "hey everyone, you should all boycott this company because of vibes," and then profiting when people inexplicably listen to you is legal.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Nah it even theoretically benefits the market's information/price discovery in capitalist theory. "Activist short sellers" stand to make a lot of money by exposing unknown true negative information about a company. Straight-up lying is prohibited as securities fraud, and ultimately if you publicize something untrue or unimportant ("woke" accusations) the price will return to normal as the market recognizes the information was BS. So there's a bunch of firms that essentially exist to scrutinize the finances and activities of other companies, and if their "audit" finds a problem they get paid and offender gets punished.

(The line between straight-up fraud and overenthusiastic PR for fluff is not clear.)

[–] [email protected] 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok this is a good idea. What company are they currently outraged at?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 11 months ago (5 children)

why wait for them to be mad, let's all make twitter accounts and invent right wing outrage for shitty companies

look for ads with interracial couples involving white women. Also just general LGBT anything, but especially T

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's just bog standard conservativism.

A better bit would be to go online and say we made money shorting the stock of the companies that woke hunters get mad about, and donated it to gender affirming care clinics and planned parenthood or whatever. Like anytime we donate to a charity say we made the money shorting Disney or Budweiser stock.

Wsb ahh comment

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Literally all you would have to do is find a product with more than 4 colors on it and say it's a gay pride version.

He'll you could probably take a picture of a freezer full of different Gatorade and say they're woke.

I might actually start investing with this advice, it's foolproof!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Let the record show I had this idea May 31st and then didn't do anything about it. Price is up 18% since then, but most of that started in November so I would have lost money on short-term calls anyway.

conservatives are gonna forget about them in a year, tops

6 months isn't bad. I think the play is LEAPs or literally buying stock on margin, plus whatever short you can cobble together for the rest of the industry.

I'm an investor now ritzy-marx
