Black Rifle Coffee Company didn't invent the "we are veteran owned and that's literally our only marketable facet" but they damned well perfected it.

They're so good at it I'd be willing to bet the people at the top aren't actually vetbros. They just noticed an untapped market with plenty of money.

Why is every "conservative" company filled with cynical grifters who just want to make money off gullible Republican boomers, but so many "progressive" companies are full of true believers willing to kamikaze their own enterprises for the cause?

The "conservative" larp company is running a more niche business model as their entire existence is based around capturing the remaining portion of the market that's giving up on the "woke" shit. They survive off the grift, so if they weren't an already established company with a conservative bend that got swallowed by the market, they're newcomers who smelled blood in the water and decided to profit off the leftovers big corporations don't want to touch.
The "progressive" companies are often well established and often part of conglomerates, meaning that they can take gambles and in some instances may even want to purposefully manipulate stock prices. They also don't have the startup mindset and their offices are full of indoctrinated college graduates who pretty much do nothing all day. A smaller company can't afford that. There's also other less visible ways where their actions are being influenced by things like ESG scores.

Speak for yourself. I still think Ian is sound, I just don't think he was aware just what a pack of leftist jackals Karl and his degenerate ilk are.

Sound? he is a weak faggot, he collapsed under pressure from a whole 50 asshurt autogynephiles. He practically sucked all their girldicks with that faggy apology video. Around 1700 people were interested in that book at the time the fundraiser was shut down and it was not even a day old, but Ian the cucked faggot felt that the feelings of troons on the internet were more important than delievering a product people actually wanted.

Ian needed to bow down to the trannies that he and Karl love so much, if he did not love them their screeching would not matter to him.

If I was Ian, I'd want this book to be published and get a positive reception. If it remains unpublished or is published in some bastardised form, people are going to be able to keep on claiming that it was some Nazi's manifesto.

He never should have organised a kickstarter for it anyway, if he had just kept quite made the investment himself and then promoted it a year from now, he would have easily recouped his cost, I mean he got over 1800 pre orders in the space of a few hours.

He would have been in a far better position defending a finished published book that was available for anyone to read, than the version that only exists in the minds of drug addled trannies.

Also with r/forgottenweapons to use an expression from the Soprano's he should "make nice or make dead". I think one of reasons they jumped all over him is that he never engages with the Subreddit, and make no mistake they're the ones responsible for this, they wanted him to notice them and they suceeded. If he's not going to engage with the reddit he should take steps to get it shut down.

Also does anyone else think in retrospect it's a pity this didn't make the happenings thread?

Again, it wasn't a kickstarter. They were doing straight up presales through Backerkit, who's just a fulfillment system often associated with KS.

They they didn't do classical crowdfunding tells me they knew darn well this was going to be a lightning rod.

I don't think they expected the mob to go for the throat and attack the presale provider directly. I imagine Backerkit gave them assurances that it would all be fine, get get this all the time, but then balked when the sheer scale of backlash hit them in the face.

Backerkit is run by people who worship blacks and transsexuals. They offered no such assurance, and caved the moment they heard about it. It's probably the same story as GoFundMe stealing the money from Canadian truckers. They'll take your business and then break you when it's convenient.

Okay, hang on. I fully believe Ian was a naive idiot for not predicting the level of backlash that's happened. He's also not alone, there are other guys involved in Headstamp Publishing's decision-making process, the house is not his personal fiefdom. But I cannot grasp the possibility that these guys got into that platform, knowing there was going to be backlash, and didn't communicate at all with the platform itself for a very large project.

And if they did... phew. That's some heroic-tier miscalculation. That's adding 2 and 2 and getting 🍎as a result.

I believe this incident says somewhat more about the company than McCollum or Reddit-Pseudowomen; The guild of developmentally delayed baboons running the PR-departments of virtually all major corporate structures will, almost invariably, succumb and rout in the face of the slightest amount of pressure, regardless of how ridiculous or outlandish the projected outrage appears to be.

I wasn't paying attention when all of this was happening, so I'm kind of out of the loop, but I really dislike that he caved to the pressure instead of holding his ground. The book itself sounded really interesting, and now I won't get the chance to read it...

Wasn't Karl supposed to be the cuck? :story:
Click to expand...
Ian has cucked when his entire livelihood was threatened by the hate mob. If he gets banned from youtube and/or gets his patreon revoked for "promoting hate speech", he's fucked. Sure, he won't be on the streets immediately but suddenly losing 90% of your online presence, your access to work material, and your income as someone who works in media is catastrophic.

Karl, on the other hand, cucks willingly for clout, woke points and tranny dick.

Ian is not perfect (he has demonstrated with this whole fuck-up to be at the very least a very naive moron), but comparing him to Karl is stupid. Ian actually has something to lose.
