I sorted the breitbart list by $$ in a table.

I looked for things that looked less bad to sort into a second table, and some of them seem pretty non-objectionable like just "help black communities" kind of things but ... it's all still unfair to every other race, and it's all still in response to the threat of violence from a bad group. So I left it all in one table sorted by $$.

But of course you could separate some into a second table if you think that's better. Or sort however you think is best.

I would do the other list next, which is a lot more items, go through and get the same info for each place one by one. All the archive stuff is linked in the 2nd list. But I probably won't be able to do more on this project right now. But if someone else wanted to do it, it's a pretty clear task. Just go one-by-one and get the $$ amounts and what they went to for each of the companies.

Table code here:...

...Well nevermind, I can't get the code block to work. If you want the table code to edit it or whatever, I can copy it to the sub wiki if you turn it on and then everyone can see it to easily copy the table if they want.

Thanks again. I am seriously impressed by all the work you've done so far, and I really appreciate it.

The wiki should be active and open. Please let me know if you have any issues with it

I would say the point of the project, right now, is to identify the worst-of-the-worst most offensive woke companies. I'm talking about ones so woke, that even political centrists and liberals would find some of their statements offensive. Once 5 or 10 of these are identified, we raise a huge noise on every conservative website about how they should be boycotted, and include the inflammatory statements or questionable behaviors the companies have engaged in.

It has to be a fairly short list, like 5 or 10 max, because the average person can't remember that many companies. Focusing our efforts on a few will make the results more apparent, and if done correctly, we could also sway people in the middle. I think Nike would be one of the best choices due to their anti-American behavior as well as the fact that they use Chinese sweatshops.

Of course there will be a full list as well for people who are more dedicated and want to boycott all of them. It could be ranked so people could see the most important vs least important to boycott.

I can't write out a full response tonight but maybe tomorrow or later this week. Thank you again for doing this, you're an all-star.

Btw there is a fellow on Ruqqus working on something similar, you may want to check out their thread here: https://ruqqus.com/post/182h/in-order-to-cancel-cancel-culture

Looks like it works! I started a little index page and a page for The Great Boycott, where I copied the table so far.

Awesome! I added a few alternatives. I'm noticing that the best recommendations for alternatives are just to buy local though.

I added a few alternatives.

Thank you! It ... feels really nice to have some alternatives in there, actually. Relieving somehow. I didn't know about Patriot Mobile. +1 for people working together sometimes.
