Cool, I hope they all do this

and some have sworn off flying altogether

I gonna take this as a win for the environment

[S]ince ill-conceived right-wing boycotts rarely tend to hurt the businesses they target in the long term, it’s entirely plausible that the true outcome of this backlash is fewer passengers spewing toxic politics to their seatmates. Friendly skies, indeed.

Well played, Rolling Stone.

After years of research, I have come up with a complete list of every conceivable action a company can take that leads a to a conservative boycott:

1. Don't be a bigot

Wait, so if I book on a "woke" airline I'll be less likely to sit beside asshole racist idiots? This just keeps getting better!

and some have sworn off flying altogether

Maybe they can be convinced to support upgrading rail to be a more viable competitor to flying, then? 🥺

I wish they’d just avoid planes with left wings altogether.

I welcome conservatives taking fewer flights. If anything that will mean less demand for plane tickets and theoretically cheaper fares over time.

As a normal person I fully support "conservatives" staying away from the resources I use.

Btw elections are inclusive and therefore woke.

Noticed when it's right-wingers doing it in real life it's a "boycott" but when it happens in their collective imaginations it's "cancel culture"?

I wish they'd hurry up and become a death cult

Bubba didnt fly much anyway.

We need to bring back TWA. A whole airline just to give them nightmares.

It’s not “scared of diversity”; diversity is just the dog-whistle. Their ideology demands unconditional support for people who are “on their team” and punishment (economic and otherwise) for people who aren’t. Airlines aren’t willing to cooperate with performative anti-leftism, so they’re the enemy now. Same with Truth Social being the only acceptable social media, or Alex Jones Brand Patriot Coffee / Beer / Whatever. The true believers are tribing themselves up.

Wake me when they start boycotting air.

Can conservatives start to boycott breathing oxygen? Rumor has it the O2 might be woke...

First, it was 'cultural Marxism' then 'SJWs' and now 'woke.' Could they get any more fucking lame with their dog whistles?

There's a better word to describe people that are "scared of diversity": racist. Or "bigoted", in a broader sense.

The airlines should offer a compromise, like putting all minorities at the back of the plane. /s

Yesterday I opened a box of fruit loops. I found myself wondering when conservatives would say they were too woke because of the rainbow colors.

Wait until they hear about how diverse our highways are.

Sweet, more power to them. Fuck off, conservatives.

I've seen this on Facebook. Now and then Facebook will show me a page that follows the investigations into these issues, and if I scroll through the comments, I'll often see, "This is because of DEI!"

On a related note, I'm always amused that people are extremely personally invested in either Boeing or Airbus, as though their next personal jet airliner would never be of the other brand. Kind of like how some people are very loyal to their brand of car and fanboy the hell out of that brand. It just feels like more tribalism to me.

They really love cancel culture. Ya know, what they claim to hate. Throw their stupid buzzwords back right into their face.
