Boycotting Woke Harley Davidson Will Backfire On YOU

There is a lot of talk about boycotting Harley Davidson in the media recently. The woke policies of Harley Davidson corporate are being exposed and people think that not buying a product will make a difference. I think that this strategy will work against you. I think it's time for people to stand up and fight. Let's discuss this important issue and discover what's behind it all.

Boycotting John Deer and Farm Supply here in the USA did work, and when they changed their policies, their sales came back. All Harley-Davidson has to do is the same as the previous company's did, and their support will return. If you don't take a stand, then other companies will continue to force their ideologies on people who don't think as they do. Here in the USA, our Constitutional Republic dictates the rights of the individual, not the collective. That's why we are not a democracy and we are a Constitutional Republic.

@@OldNotDead-Club Breezed through your talking points but it's mostly nonsensical bs about how people don't care enough to force change, blah blah blah. People vote with their money. Doesn't matter who or what is driving these companies they can only go so far before it slaps them in the face. You can only f around long enough before karma kicks them in the teeth. Be it another world war, or a civil war, or just a cultural flip. You're saying people didn't care so all this just reached to this level. People have been very vocal about these issues for years, you can only do so much when other people are brainwashed to vote one way. 2016 in the US taught us a lot about media, and how it functions in politics. Fake news was put on notice, regular people who took neither side were now on a side. With everything going on people are sick and tired of everything going on. You're going to see change one way or another. -but to say nothing can happen to any of these companies, or people who run them is just naive.

One man was cast into a fire by the tyrant king, the spectacle was met with horror by a small bird. It spread its wings and soared to a nearby river, where it filled its beak with water. The bird carried these meagre drops to where the fire was lit before going back for more. The water it fetched was of course, not enough to quell the raging flames. An arrogant crow mocked the bird's scurrying efforts and haughtily told him: ‘How can you hope to douse the fire with such little water. Surely you realize that there is nothing you can do?’ The bird remained unperturbed and calmly replied: ‘When I meet with God, He will not ask me whether I was able to put out the fire, He will only inquire whether I did my part to see that it was extinguished.’ Starbucks, Mc Donalds are loosing their sales. There are reasons. Are those, who are boycotting suffering? No. They switched to local, small brands with much better quality food. Can you fight these Vanguards and Black Rocks? Surely. You just need to want.

My opinion is that Indian will become THE iconic USA bike in the future. Harley has made a mistake with this woke orientation and Polaris will take advantage on it. Moreover: Indian can satisfy both issues: the masculine aspect of the bikers, because Indians were great warriors, and, at the same time, show respect for native americans, now a minority, which fits very well into the woke narrative.

[@september1683]

Spitting in the face of the buyer and non-brainwashed customer is not good for most companies. Isn't it enough that universities have now degenerated into cadre schools for socialism?

I'm impressed by Harley Davidson's clever but simple marketing. Since its inception, Harley Davidson has marketed an image that targets the insecurities and vulnerabilities of some men by presenting a product that gives those men the illusion of personal power, ruggedness, strength, toughness, coolness, masculinity, virility, and rebellion. These are primal traits that some men want more of, and Harley Davidson knows how to provide illusions that convince those men to buy Harley Davidson products. Loud pipes, black leather, chains, "interesting" costumes and accessories, tattoos, boots, beards, and beer don't embody greater power, but they give some men the hallucination of it. The more insecure and needy the man, the more attracted he will be to the image. You will read what real power is later in this post. Harley riders are rolling advertisements to the men whom Harley Davidson marketers want to target, and those marketers have engineered this brilliantly, as explained below. Some Harley riders might believe that the riders, themselves, created the lifestyle, the attitude, and the identity that make up the image, but the image was actually engineered by Harley Davidson, the company that sells the products and that engineered the seed for all of the aftermarket ideas and mods. Want someone to fall for an idea? Then make them think they came up with the idea themselves. Any sense of individuality or rebellion that Harley riders have is actually conformance to Harley Davidson's long-term marketing plan. Harley Davidson has put its customers exactly where they want them. What about men who use products that are not sold by Harley Davidson, like Indian or aftermarket suppliers? Sorry. The image, identity, and lifestyle were still engineered by Harley Davidson's marketers. A man who is represented by who he truly is rather than by an illusion or image of himself is a powerful man, because an illusion or image is not only artificial, it's weak. A powerful man is independent of props, façades, and groups. Some men are attracted to an image to the level that the image becomes a significant part of his identity, and some men lose the ability to clearly distinguish between the image and himself. This is what Harley Davidson counts on. And because the image has become his identity, abandoning the image becomes a kind of death for him, and there's no better way to control a man than by fear of death (and by not letting him realize that you're controlling him). The degree to which some men have reacted to Harley Davidson's recent proposed actions and decisions reveals the degree to which these men have felt threatened, yet these men don't realize the real reason why they feel threatened. Riders' reactions to Harley products and the engineered image are what Harley Davidson wants to know, because the marketing team plays off of those reactions to adapt their marketing strategy. "Go Woke, Go Broke?" Remember, Harley Davidson isn't a person, even though the business might have been named after real people. It's a company, and executives at Harley won't be harmed if they are fired or resign or if Harley goes broke. Not only have they already banked their salaries and bonuses, they'll just move to another company. Their success (yes, success) with Harley will still stand in their favor. When a company goes broke or executives leave, it doesn't mean the executives lose their shirts. When a single person, a board of directors, or other C-suite executives at a company can provoke such a dramatic response from thousands of customers via a decision, action, or other flick of a pen, that's not only success, that's power. When they can cause an uproar without breaking a sweat, that's power. Whom do they have power over? The followers. Genuine strength, power, and identity aren't traits of followers. Genuine strength, power, and identity stand independently on their own and don't need to be displayed for validation. As for freedom, followers aren't free, they're bound. Have you figured out yet who is really being played here, guys? I tell ya, Harley Davidson's marketing tactics are absolutely brilliant.

I’ll keep my bike and I can just about build a new one with aftermarket parts. Sturgis is the largest rally in our country and Harley’s booth is empty this week. It’s already been boycotted. Tractor supply is a large company here and they went woke and after being boycotted they saw the error of their ways and got rid of DEi and all of the other crap that goes along with wokeness.

People aren't going to get rid of their HD, they will not buy new ones, apparel, gear. You are right about the investors/shareholders, though. But imagine if sales drop 25-50%, imagine stock prices plummeting, imagine people ignoring HD tents at Sturgis, Daytona, Myrtle Beach, and events wherever they're held. Make them sweat. Vote w your money, and vote in politics, break the mindset that you NEED a new HD to be happy. Dont be led, lead. Great video. PS Imaging if HD was actually run by people to love the bikes, not the revenue from them, imagine if they understood the culture rather than try to change it. Its easy if you try.

You are trying to gaslight us, but i wouldn't figure anything else from a man who is from a country with a 2-teir policing system. Americans walked away from the UK, and it cost us then, and we are willing to walk away from Harley. Your argument is the same argument Bud-Light used about hurting the little man by boycotting the brand, but it worked. Also, let's be honest, Sturgis just ended, and this is Harley's best time of year for sales. I own 2 Harleys and am willing to sell them both and move over to Indian who was willing to drop the DEI and focus on making "American" made bikes.

I'm impressed by Harley Davidson's clever but simple marketing. Since its inception, Harley Davidson has marketed an image that targets the insecurities and vulnerabilities of some men by presenting a product that gives those men the illusion of personal power, ruggedness, strength, toughness, coolness, masculinity, virility, and rebellion. These are primal traits that some men want more of, and Harley Davidson knows how to provide illusions that convince those men to buy Harley Davidson products. Loud pipes, black leather, chains, "interesting" costumes and accessories, tattoos, boots, beards, and beer don't embody greater power, but they give some men the hallucination of it. The more insecure and needy the man, the more attracted he will be to the image. You will read what real power is later in this post. Harley riders are rolling advertisements to the men whom Harley Davidson marketers want to target, and those marketers have engineered this brilliantly, as explained below. Some Harley riders might believe that the riders, themselves, created the lifestyle, the attitude, and the identity that make up the image, but the image was actually engineered by Harley Davidson, the company that sells the products and that engineered the seed for all of the aftermarket ideas and mods. Want someone to fall for an idea? Then make them think they came up with the idea themselves. Any sense of individuality or rebellion that Harley riders have is actually conformance to Harley Davidson's long-term marketing plan. Harley Davidson has put its customers exactly where they want them. What about men who use products that are not sold by Harley Davidson, like Indian or aftermarket suppliers? Sorry. The image, identity, and lifestyle were still engineered by Harley Davidson's marketers. A man who is represented by who he truly is rather than by an illusion or image of himself is a powerful man, because an illusion or image is not only artificial, it's weak. A powerful man is independent of props, façades, and groups. Some men are attracted to an image to the level that the image becomes a significant part of his identity, and some men lose the ability to clearly distinguish between the image and himself. This is what Harley Davidson counts on. And because the image has become his identity, abandoning the image becomes a kind of death for him, and there's no better way to control a man than by fear of death (and by not letting him realize that you're controlling him). The degree to which some men have reacted to Harley Davidson's recent proposed actions and decisions reveals the degree to which these men have felt threatened, yet these men don't realize the real reason why they feel threatened. Riders' reactions to Harley products and the engineered image are what Harley Davidson wants to know, because the marketing team plays off of those reactions to adapt their marketing strategy. "Go Woke, Go Broke?" Remember, Harley Davidson isn't a person, even though the business might have been named after real people. It's a company, and executives at Harley won't be harmed if they are fired or resign or if Harley goes broke. Not only have they already banked their salaries and bonuses, they'll just move to another company. Their success (yes, success) with Harley will still stand in their favor. When a company goes broke or executives leave, it doesn't mean the executives lose their shirts. When a single person, a board of directors, or other C-suite executives at a company can provoke such a dramatic response from thousands of customers via a decision, action, or other flick of a pen, that's not only success, that's power. When they can cause an uproar without breaking a sweat, that's power. Whom do they have power over? The followers. Genuine strength, power, and identity aren't traits of followers. Genuine strength, power, and identity stand independently on their own and don't need to be displayed for validation. As for freedom, followers aren't free, they're bound. Have you figured out yet who is really being played here, guys? I tell ya, Harley Davidson's marketing tactics are absolutely brilliant.

I live in Milwaukee and drive a Harley. The engine plant located here, Harley is moving most of the production the plant does to Thailand. Is that going to reduce the cost of a Harley? NO! Are the workers in Thailand going to get the same wages as the workers in Milwaukee made? NO!! It's just corporate greed. I as well as several of my ridding buddies have taken our Harley emblems off our bikes, and so far any parts needed to keep our bikes running, we have some local shops that make comparable parts as well as repair shops to work on our bikes. So my bike may have started as a Harley, it may have an S&S engine and so on. Might seem small, but this can grow and maybe, just maybe Harley can buy itself back from these outside owners.

I teach a class in equity valuation at a university and I remember using HD as an example of a company that is so iconic yet just can't get out of its own way and make good decisions.
