Thank you Jim. Terrific article. I keep circling around this phenomena and poking at it from two places. The cultural marxist ethic is a 'me first' movement at it's core and that's the unpredictable part. Hubris will blind us to the most abhorent and self destructive behaviour. Like culling your hard earned customer base to project a self-centred illusion. I believe when this belief system is externalized it manifests as mass delusion or mass formation.
We may recognize it as a collection of symptoms: dellusion, self destructive behaviour, contradictions, etc but really it is simply the self centred beliefs externalized. The cultural ethic becomes the shared behaviour of ignoring the contradictions, plastering over the holes and protecting the harms.
Internally and externally, we are drowning in inversion, awash in billions of direction signs all pointed back towards self. More and more I think it's undeniable that our only lifeline is our Judeo Christian inheritance, namely the reordering of ourselves and our social units and institutions outward and up. If the majority, even slim, cannot pickup their cross, we're done. If we can make the case at every level of analysis, as you are here, that at the bare minimum we have got to reject self, and in doing so reject the contradictions, and at maximum, pick up our cross, there is hope.

Hi Jim, unfortunately these organizations are acting *rationally* even though on the surface it looks the opposite. After all, it looks so crazy for companies to signal disdain and contempt for their core customers, right?
Unfortunately, by throwing their core customers under the bus and signaling support for the globohomo regime, these corporations are promised and given certain benefits: unlimited investments from Blackrock and Vanguard, low interest rate loans, favorable regulation and a government that will undermine their competition, increased job opportunities for the executives that push these policies, favorable media coverage, and a lot of other things.
This is why a boycott of Anheuser-Busch could not and will not work at this point(also, Anheuser-Busch owns so much of the beer market that a lot of Bud Light drinkers will just end up switching to another one of their brands).
Think about the boycott of the NFL because they spit on their customer's faces with the kneeling controversy, did that go anywhere? It didn't, and that's because of the incentive structure outlined here.
Excellent point! That is exactly why I don't advocate boycotts. You are correct these companies care about their CEI scores (Corporate Equality Index) more than their customers, employees, and shareholders. In the long run they will destroy themselves, perhaps not economically, but eternally.
You are correct that a boycott of a product and company does not immediately awaken the corporate lords of their disfavored decisions. And yes they listen much more intently to their financial benefactors then the customers they profess to care for (like our current flock of politicians).
But, accepting their errors, their transgressions, their disregard for our values can not be tolerated, their tea must be figuratively thrown into Boston harbor. While many in today's western society are too weak of principle (by the enemy's design), those of us who are still strong, must still support what is right, and condemn that which is wrong.
"Divide and conquer " says the enemy within. Hate each other, hate everything except what and who we tell you to. Hate people who do not agree with you. Violence is alright if it comes from our approved sources and persons. Criminals are victims. Everybody is a racist.
What those who buy into this do not realize is the people who are manipulating them are the same ones making them miserable. All because it gives them power over you.
Excellent article thanks. Agree 100% that this enemy is in the midst of destroying itself. All we need do is help it along as it limos toward defeat. Going woke means going broke
I agree, about half way. You are correct that we need to spend less energy acknowledging this perversion. But the comparison is slightly flawed. Dog crap doesn't actively promote itself, bang itself into the airwaves and digital telescreens of Gen Z 24/7, corrupt the minds of corporate boards around the globe, and subvert churches, schools, businesses and government, as this evil does.
There is no sense to complaining without action. That's just whining. But action against evil is required. This putrid turd on our front lawn will not disappear if we mow around it. Pick it up, throw it away, and go on with our job making the world better, each and every day.
Sodom and Gomorrah
But worse now...

Where are the modern day Luca Brasi’s of the world
They are needed now more than ever
There is so much garbage that needs to be taken out, they would be employed for life

@budlight did finally post "TGIF?" (pic.twitter.com/d3W4oWJSXr) - The response shows someone else may also be mad as hell.
Too little too late
They have become a corpse that’s deteriorating right before your eyes
I bet Ed McMahon is turning over in his grave
I'm not going to taaake it anymoooore!
Great compendium and DEI need to be rearranged to DIE.

John... You are correct! We must expend energy to fight this self-righteous behavior because romanticizing transgenderism HURTS people. See https://theamericanfaithandfreedomblog.substack.com/p/the-bizarro-world-of-2023-america to see more.
I don't either, my lawn in clean too, but I do see what is happening to my neighbors who are too squeamish to do what is needed.
I agree that hyperbolizing the problem doesn't help. But I won't passively wait for it to go away either. Just a suggestion.
I don't believe they think much at all about Almighty God...
