History these woke jackasses are not aware of history.
Germany was the nation that was at the forefront of this trash.
It should be noted that the first books burned by the Nazis were the text books in school pushing this trash.
The woke elite are going to give birth to a fascists USA.
It's going to end up Christian nationalism, I suspect that the next civil war will be a crusade of the non believers.
I'm also going to suspect that the Muslims will help the christians.

If we (royal 'we') want to be intellectually honest, how far do we go with outrage? Boycott Volkswagen and Adidas because of the founders' inclusion in the Nazi Party?
I know everyone has their own, personal line in the sand. I also know that because it's 'sand', it also shifts over time.
I carry a sort of Glock pistols, Gaston Glock backed a Nazi for public office.
I have owned multiple Porsche's in my life and BMWs. Oh also Ducati can let the Italians off my list.
But the point I was trying to make and obviously poorly, was that the woke idiots have gone a bridge too far. The issue that set Germany on the path to Hitler was the wide public support of homosexuals and the trans movement. The first books burned by the brown shirts were text books from schools that pushed these life styles to children.
What has got American parents pissed off in recent years the same thing, the woke schools going that bridge too far.
I have had 6 cups of coffee and a meeting with my accountant, so I hope I am communicating better this time around.
I wasn't aiming anything at you, and I apologize if it came off that way. You do speak to where I was going: you are aware of the historical ties of the products/services you choose to use, and choose to use them anyway. I think most of us are this way; I think most of us have a hard line with some products/services, but not all. That's OK. Hypocritical? Meh, maybe. Human nature? Sure.
I think 'a bridge too far' is a good way to put it. Like what SCOTUS Justice Potter Stewart said about pornography, paraphrasing, "I can't define it but I know it when I see it."
At almost 55 with cancer I am not nearly as hard on outdoor stuff as I used to be, but I don't know that I would NOT buy TNF or Patagonia or Arc'teryx because of their social pandering or, in the case of Arc'teryx, making something in a sweat shop in Bangladesh for pennies on the dollar if it is what I need.

I didn't think you were aiming at me, I thought I didn't do a good job of word smithing.
The problem with trying to boycott woke companies or even the damn Chicoms, is due to Globalization it is all wove together. But that will be coming to an end.
Addressing a post higher up, I wonder who will be the target in a Christian and Muslim we are the world crusade or jihad?
I want to know which "outdoor" brands are not going along with this shit, because it's getting really hard to find any and I am sure they could use some support.
