Giving a company money -> they reinvest that money -> company grows

Not giving a company money -> ??? -> company grows

Everybody knows that, duh!

We both know that you actually don’t think it’s that simple. You just wanted to be contrarian.

I’m actually so correct in what I said that getting targeted with hate campaigns is something companies try to do. As I told another one of you NPCs before, Nike did that exact thing. They intentionally did something that upset a target demographic, those people burned nike products and tried to “boycott” them and it ended up making their sales go up because everyone was talking about them now.

This is such a well known thing that I’m surprised you people got mad at me for saying it. Redditors will get mad at everything for no reason I guess.

Most redditors have been running from life for so long all they know is anger and pain, with the anger being the only anti-pain strategy they have.

I bet if you were specific, it was something about supporting a progressive cause that most people support and rightwingers got mad and “protested” by buying Nike products to destroy…

Just because rightwing extremists are the minority and don’t understand how boycotts work, doesn’t mean boycotts don’t work.
