I believe Andy has it right on the target. If I disagree mightily about something/someone, I just don't use their business, whatever it might be.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 4:22 pmOne other comment.... I am sick to death and up to my eyeballs with virtue-signalling. It’s obnoxious when lefty snow-flakes do it, and I don’t like it any more when we do it. The statement: “I don’t own a [insert product here], but if I did, I would destroy it” is as empty as any SJW’s virtue-signalling. The absolute LAST thing any of us should want to sound like, is a redneck SJW.
That’s my 2¢.
As far as what TAM stated, I am that SJW Redneck. I took several of my $400 Benchmade knives and a sledgehammer. My wife asked me what I was doing and I told her I was going to beat these commie knives into plowshares. She stated quite succinctly that those knives weren't the only things about to get a beating. I quickly dropped the SJW and became just Redneck and meekly said Yes Ma'am. Just kidding Ya'll, although my wife could probably whup me, she hasn't done it yet.
Naw, I couldn't ever see spending the required money to purchase a Benchmade so I have been boycotting them for some time I reckon. I have bought Coldsteel and those are my EDC. During the early deployments, Coldsteel had several great knives at the Military Clothing Sales and I got hooked there. Going on to other company's making money while they were our enemy, I have owned a Suzuki motorcycle, they built subs during the great unpleasantness, I have also owned a Mercedes, they also built engines for the Panther and I believe the Luftwaffe during the same unpleasantness. When one reads how many companies made their money during the 1930-1945 time period, almost all had pretty dirty hands. Also, I work on post and most of the motorcycle sized batteries are made in Vietnam. So, there we are.
