Anti-Woke Victories ... Maybe

Woke is certainly part of being on the "wrong track." Related to the previous post, I write to remind you that the truism "Go woke, get broke!" continues to notch further victories. New examples have surfaced.

First, Molson Coors has announced they're backing away from DEI efforts, this in the face of a threatened boycott announced by Robby Starbuck. Brown-Forman, Tractor Supply, Ford, and Lowes are others which have acted similarly.

Independently, Sony's vastly expensive first-person shooter game "Concord" has been slathered with DEI symbols and has failed spectacularly. It is the Disney experience revisited.

Sony appears to be folding and walking away from the table. Their new first-person shooter, Concord, has been a bust since its launch on July 23, reaching only 697 peak concurrent players on Steam – an even lower number than that of its beta test, suggesting many gamers didn’t come back for the actual game.

Sony dropped a big bomb when they announced that they will take Concord offline on September 6, which is this Friday, exactly two weeks since its release. Concord will no longer be sold, and anyone who has already bought it will be issued a refund.

Let's remain vigilant that these announcements are not mere CYA window dressing, while the racist, anti-merit policies continue with new names.
