I cringe every time we take another step towards red corporations and blue corporations. We need more DMZs, and the ones we have are eroding.

I agree, but what do you do when you do when that division already exists? Do I continue to give my money to a company that then uses that money to assault my views and beliefs? Or do I find an alternative?
I like the shut up and shave logo…

I don't really do politics when buying stuff, but I did stop buying from a shop that completely fucked over a relative of mine who worked for them.
They've since gone out of business, and he now runs his own business so I FREAKING WIN!
I say non-political, but back in the day grinding the faces of your employees into the dirt and screwing them up the ass was considered a traditional conservative trait. Perhaps not any more.

Of course, Harry’s doesn’t actually have any woke values. This decision was due to some implied threat of cancelation by woke pop culture. They were getting some bad press, or maybe just bad tweets and emails, for advertising on the wrong media.

Yeah, these companies aren't actually woke, they're just worried about bad publicity and allow themselves to be bullied.
All they care about is money. Same as ever.
...and Jeremy's has spotted a marketing opportunity.

“Allow themselves to be bullied”? What would not allowing that look like? Going out of business?
Education is extremely important.

They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

Except if you watch the guys video that's not what the company is about. It by and for conservatives. What he's doing is an order of magnitude worse than what Harry's did (which was already idiotic and performative).

Am I the only one seeing the irony of a guy with a full beard selling razors?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yeah, that was a bad choice of words - I wasn't intending to imply that it was their fault. The cancel brigade are clearly the ones to blame here.

What specifically about that is idiocy from the Daily Wire’s perspective? I know you don’t want to live in a world of red and blue corporations, but considering they are not motivated to serve your specific tastes, what about this is idiotic?

It kind of reminded me of that stupid Cadillac advert going on about how Europeans are lazy and real Americans spend their lives working until they bleed from the anus, and so deserve a really big fucking ugly car as a reward for their miserable existence.
I was only joking

Maybe he manscapes with an actual razor. That would be brave.

On the scale of antisocial cultural behavior, I would hope we can all agree that economic bullying by cancel culture is worse than identifying a group of people to market to, and telling them clearly that they are being marketed to.

@Horace I wasn't writing from the Daily Wire's perspective, I was writing from my own.
No doubt many people will make money off the carcass of the country as they help rip it apart. (exhibit 1, the media)

I am having a difficult time imagining a business targeting a certain demo as an anti social culture destroyer. I suggest you are mostly reacting to other factors destroying the culture and taking this opportunity to rub the conservative side’s nose in the mess. But using this as an example is a swing and a miss IMO.

There's levels..
For example, to be honest I don't have much of a problem with complaining about companies who refuse to supply cakes for gay weddings. I think the refusal is asshole behaviour - intolerance masquerading as religious belief. Enraging the woke mob isn't something I approve of or support, but complaining about something that upsets people should be ok.
Trying to drive people out of business for advertising on a website you don't agree with is a different order of magnitude, and unacceptable.
