If the social justice Nazis would just stop assuming everyone else is as messed up and ignorant as they are, we could at least have a real dialogue. But they're chomping at the bit forauthoritarianism and a clamp down of human rights.
Oh, man, if I didn't know better I would think this post was a parody. But I do know better. You are actually serious.
This, coming from a Trump supporter, is just comedy gold.
Did these companies stop advertising because they agree with Hogg, or was it because they dont want to get caught up in all this mess? These are two very different things. You may also notice that a lot of companies who advertise on Fox also advertise on CNN, MSNBC, etc.
I'd lean more towards pulling ads to step away from the fight but people are assuming there was a political statement implied by pulling those ads.
The same goes with the NRA ads. It's far better for brand/reputation management to steer clear of a fight rather than wade into the mess.
Obviously, some companies will take a side, as is their right.
I don't disagree with you, but I don't think your post refuted mine.
Hogg put out the list to pressure Laura Ingrahams advertisers to stop advertising on her show. The vast majority of those on the list, stopped advertising on her show. Many companies also cut ties with the NRA partly in response to the attention (or the 'mess' as you call it) Hogg was bringing to the issue.
So Hogg's lists achieved something (not everything that he wanted), MongooseHugger's have achieved nothing that were aware of.

Give him a break. He’s 18. He will figure out better tactics. But he did get sponsors to quit advertising on her show. So sometimes it does work
These are the tactics he has “figured out” with the help of adult activists. This is their new thing. He has been told that the way to protest is to go after the money. He does it with politicians who get money from the NRA. He does it with Publix. He does it with Laura Ingraham.
This has been his modus operandi from the start. One hopes that advertisers realize that a large portion of their potential customers do not follow this kid and will tell him to go away. Right now they’re acting like college administrators cow-towing to these kids, only to find that the next year’s enrollment numbers are horrible and they have to start considering layoffs.
If this kid changes his tactics, it will be to something more radical or he will drop out of the public eye altogether. I hope he gets away from the people he’s been talking to because they have taken advantage of his vulnerability and used him as a shield. Maybe he wants to be that shield, but he has hardly had a chance to breath since the Parkland shooting. I’m not sure this is good for him mentally.

you usually have formed your moral compass by the age of 14-15...……..he is his own person. he owns this.
