Buckley Jr. famously said that a \u201cconservative is someone who stands athwart history, yelling <span class=\"il\">stop<\/span>.\u201d Over the last few decades, his words have echoed solemnly as conservatives have abandoned competition in the cultural and economic spheres. Unfortunately, to yell \u201c<span class=\"il\">stop<\/span>,\u201d as conservatives have done for decades, accomplishes nothing. It\u2019s counterproductive by definition and, worse, it violates the core of the American character. Creation, innovation, advancement. We shouldn\u2019t be screaming <span class=\"il\">stop<\/span>. We should be building alternatives.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To ignore the conquests of the Left and subscribe to \u201clive and let live,\u201d as the adage goes, or to yell \u201c<span class=\"il\">stop<\/span>,\u201d without action, is to lose. And, man, has the Right gotten good at losing. For too long, conservatives have shrugged at a Left that\u2019s hell-bent on deconstructing societal norms and seizing control of powerful institutions \u2014 including corporations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019ll throw a fit when something bothers or insults us. We\u2019ll bitch, we\u2019ll moan. We\u2019ll call it cancel culture and ask what the world has come to. Occasionally, we\u2019ll start a non-profit and beg for more donations from billionaires \u2014 using messages of \u201cneed\u201d and \u201cfighting for the cause,\u201d and other such empty petitions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But eventually, we come crawling back to the same corporations for goods and services. Yes \u2014 the very same corporations who hate us and our values. Because what choice do we have?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What\u2019s the consequence of this cycle \u2013 this losing and bitching and begging? What\u2019s the consequence of this self-defeating response that completely abandons culture and competition? You need not look far.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Walt Disney Company, caving to \u201cpressure\u201d from media and a tiny, radical sliver of their own employees, condemned the falsely labeled \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill that was passed in Florida this past month. That\u2019s right, they condemned a bill that protects young children from sexual indoctrination and creates transparency for parents \u2013 a bill that a majority of Americans support. And Disney did so in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A new salvo of leaked videos show Disney executives promising more LGBTQ+ characters, backed by agenda-infused policy. Executive producer Latoya Raveneau said Disney welcomed her \u201cnot-at-all-secret gay agenda.\u201d Another executive promised more LGBTQ+ leads in their shows \u2014 wherever they could \u201cadd queerness.\u201d And, to be perfectly clear, they are talking about children\u2019s programming, not a Marvel show.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, we\u2019ve known for years that this is the Left\u2019s game. To force upon children their delusional \u2013 and destructive \u2013 view of the world. And, at a glance, you\u2019d think there\u2019d be shame or remorse at such blatant alienation of a whole swath of the population.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But, why would they change course? If they\u2019ve never faced economic consequences, why would they think twice before satisfying the radicals in their camp? They can promise their employees more \u201cLGBTQIA\u201d content, and still keep conservative viewers, because, well, they won\u2019t leave.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This must end. It\u2019s time corporate America felt the weight of its woke posturing, and face conservative competitors that call them on their bluff.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That\u2019s what we at The Daily Wire have come to recognize. There must be a fundamental shift in the conservative movement if anything that\u2019s made this country great is going to survive.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A call for charity is no longer an appropriate response to aggressive attacks from market players, like Disney and a bevy of other woke companies who hate us. The best response is competition. Competition, with new ventures and innovation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We don\u2019t need another non-profit \u2014 we need great products and for-profit companies that create economic incentives for better behavior. A woke corporation hates you? Create the solution. Like our new DW Kids content that we\u2019ve pledged to invest $100 million into over the next three years to serve those tired of being forced to fund woke media companies, like Disney.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Left will try to dismiss these ventures. In their hubris, they\u2019ll continue to bifurcate the culture without any fear of economic consequences.\u00a0 Meanwhile, we\u2019ll be bifurcating the economy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Conservative companies don\u2019t have legacy marketing clout. We don\u2019t have institutional funding. What we do have, however, is a guarantee that the Left, in their pride, will continue to posture and brag, thereby alienating large portions of their consumer base. Let Disney sink tens of billions into their woke content \u2013 that\u2019s tens of billions in promotional material for Daily Wire content, in my calculus.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Daily Wire just proved this model last week with our release of\u00a0 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jeremysrazors.com\">Jeremy\u2019s Razors.<\/a>\u201d We were frankly stunned by the response, though maybe we shouldn\u2019t have been. \u201cHarry\u2019s Razors\u201d dropped their sponsorship with us last year and publicly denounced our conservative views. Rather than complain, we decided to create an alternative.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And in a single week, we sold enough razors to establish a fully sustainable company. One week.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is reproducible. And this is essential if we want to build a better future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Conservatives should not have to give <span class=\"il\">money<\/span> to woke corporations that obviously hate them. We must build alternatives. They no longer have to give <span class=\"il\">money<\/span> to woke media companies that hate them. They can give it to us. And they can give it to other companies that join in the fight to reclaim our culture and the market.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We cannot win if we do not compete, and if we do compete, well, we might just cause corporations to start competing for our business again, too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So, join us. Action works. We\u2019ve seen it work. The lose, complain, and beg cycle can be broken.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">And Lefties, keep doing what you\u2019re doing. Because it always ends in a sea of market opportunities for us. We\u2019re happy to oblige.<\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William F.
