Woke Company Gets Trolled by Petroleum Company For Virtue Signaling and Hypocrisy

a reply to: IAMTAT

People don't realize how much stuff is made with hydrocarbons. Even the very roads we drive on...asphalt. roofing shingles. Plastics.

Their shortsightedness and ignorance is astounding.

Fun Fact:
North Face's parent company, VF Corp., owns 50 corporate jets.
Ain't they pretty?: prijet.com...

Sooooooo much jet fuel burned by the anti- Fossil Fuel, Woke crowd.

The North Face is a subsidiary of hypocritical VF Corporation.

So please – enjoy this: Aircraft Owned by: VF CORP.

Found at that link – are the nearly FIFTY private jets VF Corp seems to currently own.

Paid for by their petroleum products.

Because they really hate oil and gas.

And the people who provide it.

There is not a woke Leftist alive that’s not a hypocrite.
Imagine spending every waking moment being offended by something.
I am telling you with 100% certainty, Liberalism is a mental illness.

With a rainbow logo what do you expect ?

www.thenorthface.com... Proud Bigots.

Well, it IS said that revenge is a dish best served cold. This is awesome.to them!

The "event" took place in Dec 2020 and kind of died off until recently when some oil & gas group rented the billboards around the company's HQ in Colorado.

Kind of like reverse-cancelling I guess.

That at least is not the fallacy that is called "Reverse racism" Which was coined at the beginning of all this political correctness.

I notice a severe lack of the regular leftists in this thread.

Typical.

By accepting and reusing the made up (and false) phrase "reverse racism" you validate the idea that racism is a one-way street. Which is totally FALSE.

Racism is wrong....period, end of story. The color of the racists skin makes exactly ZERO difference.

Don't play into their word games.

Stand firm....racism is racism....period.

This is SO much better than suing them for discrimination or whatever. This is how to shut up the lunatics. Point out their hypocrisy with a great big smiling 'THANK YOU for supporting that thing you said you can't support!"

They got nuthin'.

Here's some homework for you.

Make a quick stop at TNF's website and call and chat and send an email. Be polite to the poor customer service drones, bit be clear about how stupid this is and let them know its effect on the company's image.

Didn't we JUST go through this?

Something about angry leftist mob trying to force a small christian company to bake cakes they didn't want to bake?

I forget how it turned out, but I remember the argument that it was a slippery slope to.... pretty much where we are now.

North face makes decent coats- I bet they get all their materials in bulk from china, then outsource the manufacturing to vietnam, then ship them by clunker boat here to the USA to sell at a thousand percent markup to exactly the kind of people who apparently work at the NF stateside office building.

Those people also buy electricity, generally made by burning coal, to power their computers... heat and cool their homes, charge their twitter devices...
The amount of raw fuel the average person burns in a year is staggering.

Do you think a wax lined paper cup for your starbucks didn't burn fuel?
Was that coffee sludge imported from a nation that doesn't extort child labor?
Does the paper straw make you feel good, when you don't think about how they got, cleaned, shaped, and otherwise manufactured it?

I love the billboards, but maybe someone should try cutting off the power to the NF home office until they start powering their operation with generators hooked to bicycles.

They never actually stand up against real bigotry.

If they did hell would freeze over.

North Face needs to walk the talk. Shut down all production and start selling hemp-based apparel through an Etsy store. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Yup! Sewn by hand with quills from angered porcupines with kudzu vine fibers.....or hemp fibers. And all their employees need to walk to their jobs. They must work in facilities that have no heat or A/C, daylight through open holes only and no vending facilities that sell food or water. The factories must be dirt floor, buildings made from renewable sources and...and...and......

Do they know how ridiculous they are? All because they try to use recycled products like instead of virgin? Is that anything like not buying new shoes manufactured from child labor countries sold at the local malls but if I find them at the thrift store, it's all good? Got it! Second hand all the way baaaybe.

Oh and for the record, I just perused their website for the products they make and sell (at wildly inflated prices to the suckers, I may add).

Here's a bullet list of North Face products that do NOT depend on the Oil/Gas industry:

Hilarious!!!! Sheeesh what a bunch of idjuts.

Reminds me of "Quick Dick McDick's" awesome esplainer...

I am glad these crappy companies are outing themselves. I keep a list for companies like this and make sure that they get a taste of their own medicine. They’re cancelled.

Just get carhart. Better product anyway.

This is like Follywood and their "concern" over guns...

And all the wife beating, gun clappin', outright violent "kneelers" of "justice" in the World of Sperts...

And members of Con-gress making money hand under fist with insider trading and lobbying (bribery)...

And the alphabet agencies dragging their feet when it comes to true crimes but if you are conservative and own a MAGA hat or American flag and voted for Orange Man Mean Tweeter and happened to be on American soil on January 6th then HEADS UP because you're prolly on a watch list...

Hypocrisy - the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Whatever happened to "Power of the Purse"?

Americans have the power, because America is a corporation, a business, and a poorly run one at that.

Use discretion when you spending your hard earned money on companies like North Face.

And any other "woke" company.

I'm saddened to know Follywood and pro sperts will soon be raking in millions again. Too many keyboard warriors being backseat quarterbacks.

North Face.

About-face.

"Something about angry leftist mob trying to force a small christian company to bake cakes they didn't want to bake?"

Apples and oranges, unless you have proof the bakery owner is homosexual, then yes, it would be hypocritical of the bag faker, I mean gay baker.

free to think what they want but still being arrogant hypocrites as seems to be the norm for greenies, when most of them really couldn't give a damn about the environment and are just in the green industry for money and connections whether it be social or otherwise. the only way to truly go green is to abandon technology yet i never see them willing to go that far, maybe a tiny few actually put it where their mouth is and actually follow through but most are just talking out their ass.
