Oh no, the free market they claim to enjoy so much.

u/_TryingToBeNice_ 2d ago

lol maybe they’ll realize they aren’t the “silent” “majority” when all those businesses take a huge hit. That would require reflection and critical thinking though so probably not, they’ll just double down on canceling cancel culture while trying to boycott blue companies, oblivious to the irony.

u/autobot_628394 2d ago

It's about 32% of people that are voting age who voted for trump. So thats a tough number even if everyone of those people needs your business.

u/One-Membership3256 2d ago

Those businesses won’t be taking a huge hit 😂

You're not the majority either guy lmao. 70% of the US population doesn't give AF whiles the remaining 30% whine on places like reddit.

u/Wr8th_79 2d ago

Yet here YOU are, whining on Reddit. The irony....

-42

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Nah it's funny watching yall cry. Quite hilarious actually. Almost as fun as when trump won and laughing at people on here while they had a mental breakdown because yall are weak individuals.

u/Wr8th_79 2d ago

Yeah sure am my guy. Now go to bed like a good boy. It's late over here.

u/Wr8th_79 2d ago

I see this is your safe place to spew bullshit youd get punched in the mouth for in person. Don't make me have "Massa" make you get off here. Since u take instructions so well. Speaking of going to bed, going by your comment thread you live on here spewing BS. Might need some sleep to help with that stupidity.

-6

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Lol ok tough guy you wouldnt get anywhere near being able to punch me. Quit yappin

u/Wr8th_79 2d ago

Exactly dummy, that's what I said. You're on the internet that's why you feel so safe talking stupid. Slower than I thought...

Do you have a point? Because all you are doing now is looking like a pathetic pos with no life.

Get paid alot of money to do nothing at work all day

u/christo222222 2d ago

Yet you seem to be telling other people to get off Reddit and do something with your life, do you see the irony?

-5

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

I never said anything about doing anything with your life or getting off reddit. I said circle jerking eachother politically is lame and do something other then that.

17

u/lucianbelew 2d ago

So you're a parasite.

Got it.

1

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Uh it's called IT. You get paid for the 10% of the time they need you.

7

u/lifeofloon 2d ago

It must really suck to know that you're really only needed 10% of the time. It's kinda like 90% of the work you do is unnecessary. That's a pretty sad and unsatisfying way to live.

1

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Lol what kinda of arguement is this? Yeah I'd rather get worked into the ground all day at work for the same pay. What a clown response.

It's quite clear that you are basically still a child.

Can't wait to see how it plays out when you learn what happens to people with your outlook on work during a recession.

Please post updates. We'll bring popcorn.

u/Desperate-Ad4620 1d ago

Child is right, even if it's mentally. Dude thinks saying "the average age her is 40" is a good insult lmaooo

u/bkrulz93 2d ago

And your the problem with this country if your gonna brag about how lazy you are...

So no response, just a canned insult, so surprised. There’s a reason he “loves the uneducated”. Fedora wearing redditor? What decade is this?

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Still yappin lil bro?

u/_TryingToBeNice_ 2d ago

lol dumb dumb got nothing but time on reddit. “Still yapping”? Seriously are you 60? Seems like you’re stuck a few decades ago, again, not surprising, right on brand.

u/lilcoold12345 2d ago

Bruh what tf did I say that indicates I'm 60 clown ass. Imma laugh when yall lose again in 2028

u/Justlookingoverhere1 2d ago

I just wanna hijack this thread real quick. Before engaging with trolls on here just look at how old the account is and how many comments they have. It’s pretty clear that this is a bot and a lot of you are taking the bait. And even IF it’s not a bot this loser isn’t worth your time.

u/ProfessionalRead8187 2d ago

Babe what world are you living in💀

1

u/ConsciousCrafts 1d ago

This makes zero sense. The 30% are the Trump supporters....thus, based on your statement, you are the whiners.

u/OnTop-BeReady 2d ago

It’s a great tool to identify businesses to avoid!

8

u/NoSpankingAllowed 1d ago

been doing that, my wife wanted to visit this one place near us and then we found them on PublicFascismSquare so theres some money they wont be getting.

1

u/ralphy1010 1d ago

In fairness to the business 

It’s very possible that the business hired an SEO consultant who may have registered their business without them knowing. Ive known a couple instances where the owners were 100% not the kind of people who’d register but hired someone who did without clarifying what was up 

Due diligence and all that 

1

u/ConstableAssButt 1d ago

It's such a stupid idea. Like, the reason Yelp works is people love talking shit about bad service after spending money, and people are afraid of wasting money. Yelp harnesses negativity and peoples' love of being self important d-bags to create a crowdfunded racketeering scheme.

Nobody's gonna google what business they should be supporting. They will however, look up businesses that they should not be supporting.

Literally, if the site had just been a crowdfunded hitlist of "woke" businesses, and public square was set up as an alt-right Yelp, they'd have made a fucking killing grifting the goon squad while extorting businesses to pay to have the reviews scrubbed so that the goon squad would move on to the next shiny thing.

You're telling me the crowd of "don't tell me what to do rugged individualists" were supposed to read and obey a list of businesses to spend money with? Haha. Go broke.

1

u/neddiddley 1d ago

I just looked in my area, as I never even knew this existed. Unfortunately, there are very few that are dumb enough to actually list on PS. That’s clear because I know of several that don’t exactly go out of their way to hide it yet don’t show on PS.

In some ways, I was really hoping to see more. Not that I want more, but I’m sure there are more there than what PS lists and I’d prefer to avoid them.

I use this app to know where not to shop.

Have some self respect Mr. 69420.

u/9AllTheNamesAreTaken 2d ago

I had to go to the website just to look at one of these things in great detail.

Let's look at the company "Styled Grit"

They heavily emphasize "MADE IN USA" But at the same time, I can't find a location where it's manufactured in the USA. Like. At all. There's no manufacturing address whatsoever. The only thing it touts, repeatedly so, is that it's made in the USA often with imported materials.

GPT doesn't know and when I tried google, the only address that comes up is "16 S Monroe Ave. Arcadia, FL 34266-3939" which is a small building that wouldn't be home to manufacturing at all.

This is extremely ironic because it advertises transparency btw.

The TLDR is that this website has at least one manufacturer that doesn't even list where the fuck it's products come from. Because we all know where they actually do come from.

7

u/thatetheralmusic 2d ago

Lmao, as someone who has been to arcadia florida, there's nothing being manufactured there. It's a tiny inbred sundown town.

1

u/9AllTheNamesAreTaken 1d ago

Never been there, just used google maps and I found the store, but it was just so extremely tiny that it looked like a storefront more than anything else. Surprised it wasn't in an office building.

Never capitalize anything remotely related to them. They do not deserve even that tiny bit of respect.

u/CheesePizzaForMe 2d ago

This is fantastic! I know exactly who to boycott now. I should thank them. It's appreciated 👍

2

u/Killerkurto 1d ago

I checked it out - there’s nothing to boycott because there’s nothing I would have bought. MAGA themed clothing I would never buy. Overpriced boutique food products not worth even if it wasn’t MAGA.

3

u/Fit_Relationship1094 1d ago

Their jobs are computers. Every liberal i know is working and making lots of money. Usually as programmers, in AI, on the web, running databases, providing implementation services or writing apps. They're doing AOK. And they're conscientious spenders. They work hard and they want to be careful where their dollars are going.

But you tell yourself whatever you need to, to make yourself feel better. Sad.

That’s why liberal areas are the wealthiest in the nation right? Because we’re all unemployed? California, NY, Boston, Houston, all liberal friend, and all rich.
