Exxon bans BLM and LGBTQ flags at headquarters


Is this one of the first steps on the long road to the return of sanity?

Hopefully.

The insane left have had a free ride for almost two decades where every political or social view they have, must be validated, supported and promoted by everyone, including their employers, businesses and corporations. Furthermore, if the left discover someone is not doing all the above to validate their views, then that person or group must be punished and banned from participating in society. The left are truly fascists.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld saw this a decade before the left went off the rails.

Once again. They did not ban the flags at headquarters. They will not be displayed on company flag poles.

Right, but the conundrum of today's politics is that the mere act of _not_ displaying a flag can leave on as a target of protests or boycotts. It's the promulgation of the notion of "yer either fer us, or 'gainst us" (just look at the notion of an anti-racist ).

Absolutely not. At least nobody I know. Intelligent people wish to have a quality product at a fair price from a company. And that is where it ends. When that company decides to align with a force that wishes to destroy western civilization... well, then it becomes a problem.

Most "woke" companies I know of have gone downhill since becoming woke--meaning the quality of their product has diminished and they don't even care that the quality of their product has diminished. That is a company whose products I will avoid, regardless of whether their "political/social stance" aligns with mine or not. I don't want to hear politics and social stances from manufacturers. In fact the only reason I am quite "militant" with my own stances is because you guys on the left insist on force-feeding your politics to everyone else. If not for that, I wouldn't even think about this stuff.

Just Corporations? What about Unions, secret PAC’s and Lobby groups?

Thanks. I should have included those, too.

I put $72 in my tank yesterday at an Exxon station in Wenatchee, WA. Most affordable station in town, and seeing this thread makes me feel just that much better about my choice for fuel. May they prosper for a long time to come.
