This led the company founder to cut this rather craven video disavowing any connection with Rittenhouse.

That wasn't as bad as their account liking posts shitting on him.

“It’s such a repugnant group of people,” Hafer said.

Absent the tape, we don’t know if the “repugnant people” were people who yelled at Hafer on Twitter over his decision, or if they are people who supported Rittenhouse, or if it refers to the “racist, Proud Boy-ish people.

You had to be there to get that one. He's thinking of people who pushed back on their shitty ad posts (they were warned it was against the terms and told to buy ads, and they got pissy) and who revealed its true colors when he sent a DMCA to via Cloudflare against legitimate satire. They weren't afraid of calling him what he is, and he recoiled. Both founders are jewish, by the way.

Wall Street doesn’t like conservative companies, especially ones with a political face.

There's no danger there. Its founders and employees look like childish degenerates.

Why are the majority of corporations Jewish?

Stop noticing things, goy.

I'm interested in seeing those liked posts for context.

Edit: found one screenshot: https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1330675640819884032/photo/1

I haven't found links to them, only anecdotes mentioning it in some comments. Nobody fucking links to anything any more, or even archives anything (luckily that interview I found and was deleted got caught in the wayback machine).

If it's possible to scrape likes from an account, they might still be discoverable.

It looks to me like they were liking tweets that showed they were not endorsing Rittenhouse, even if part of the liked Tweets were bashing him. I imagine they were freaking out while wondering how much business they were going to lose and were walking that fine line while pouring water over all the social media fires. Thank you for the link. I couldn't find any myself, only statements and interviews.

I found 2 coffee companies who were not afraid of the Rittenhouse controversy: Stocking Mill out of Connecticut and Brushtail out of Michigan.

Thanks for the info.

The 'jewish' link is very interesting:

Evan Hafer: Well, considering the fact that my COO and I are both Jewish, I have a huge issue with people who compare us to or accuse us of being Nazis.

There are indeed Jewish businesses that are making a fortune appealing to Neonazis, and are in that context doing more to support Neonazis than most people. They are therefore much like Nazis.

There are universities selling off investments in companies associated with the illegal Israeli settlements, which are sometimes compared to Nazi activities.

It's wonderful news that Black Rifle Coffee will lose customers.

And yet Nazis liquidated Zionist organisations and wanted to destroy Israel via arming Palestinians (natives) through Operation Atlas among other campaigns.

Operation Atlas

This was primarily anti-British: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Atlas_(Mandatory_Palestine)

You - of all people - should know of the much more significant Haavara Agreement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There were many other campaigns where German soldiers armed, funded and fought with Palestinian natives.

I know all about the Haavara agreement which was utilised to end the Jewish boycott on Germany. Most scholars believe no more than 20,000 emigrated to Palestine which was instituted by the Freemason Schacht who was later sent to Dachu for working with thr British and becoming obstructionist once the Nazis liquidated Freemasonry.

Upon his firing, Nazis stopped the Haavara agreement. I gave you the link for you to read, there's also a part 1 which proves that the Haavara agreement wasn't pro-Zionism and Palestine was not Hitler's nor the Nazis first or 2nd or third option to emigrate Jews, most notaby Communist and Zionist Jews. Various other states were considered but Zionists instituted an economic boycott on Germany and would only allow them to emigrate Jews to Israel. In 1938, the Haavara was stopped and during the war we can read decrees where Germans were completely against the establishment of a Jewish state.

Wikipedia gives you the basics while disregarding the actual details and completely refusing to utilise German sources.

Again, I prove in the post I linked that Nazis hated Zionists and liquidated there organizatioms everywhere. There was no friendship with Zionism like Corbyn promotes, only a freemasonic initiated agreement to end the economic boycott that went sour once Nazis threw Schacht in a concentration camp.

The Haavara was NOT significant, and in no way a friendship with Zionism; especially considering the fact that Jews were already making Aliyah to Palestine by the 100's of thousands from 1890 - 1930.

The disinformation now is that Hitler created the state of Israel which is discernibly untrue and idiotic.

Neo-Nazis don't exist in large numbers nor are they buying mass amounts of bulk coffee. The few that do call themselves as such are degenerates and drug dealers. Neo-Nazism does not in anyway resemble National Socialism which was an nationalist autocratic ethnic German worker's party fueled by ruralism.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You know that pro-Israel companies are profiting from websites and products that appeal to NeoNazis and other extremists, as they've done for a long time. It's lucrative work.

[–]Jesus 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I agree, but they have little to do with neo-Nazism due to the fact that they create these groups as scapegoat organizations.

They have gotten too big to ignore active PR damage control. If they hadn't distanced themselves from Rittenhouse, they would not have contracts with Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's and therefore missed an even larger customer base. It sounds like the "repugnant" comment was about those condemning BRCC for not actively advocating Rittenhouse. If Rittenhouse's legal team hadn't walked him out of jail in that t-shirt or that Blaze reporter hadn't Tweeted implying BRCC was endorsing him, they would not have had to make any statements on the matter.

Kind of seems like the move that makes sense. Aligning a brand with a "political" leaning is one thing, but to get lumped into a politically charged shooting incident is a totally different ballgame.

I think corps even having socially/politically charged brand identifiers is a bad idea overall, and nowadays its unfortunately mandated. I remember social hordes tracking down what companies didn't speak on the "black lives matter" issue. Not taking a stance is a sin now.

Corporations should be soulless.
