How To Support the Least Woke Companies

The problem of woke corporations has gotten much worse over the last decade. Many of us find ourselves feeling we must patronize or invest in these corporations because we perceive there are no alternatives.

One approach, of course, is to buy local– from small businesses with which you are familiar. That is perhaps the best way to deal with this problem.

But how do we systematically evaluate the larger corporations? One attempt has been made by an organization called the 1792 Exchange. It is not perfect, but it is a helpful attempt. Their work is found here.

The 1792 Exchange ranks corporations as being lower risk, medium risk or high risk of demonstrating woke corporate bias.

I have attempted to identify those they rank at lower risk to help readers understand and appreciate the corporations out there who might be less problematic. Again, this rating system is not perfect, but instead is a starting point. I divided into categories:

Retail Businesses/ Brands

Academy Sports and Outdoors

American Greetings (cards)

Barnes and Noble

BJ’s Wholesale Club

Costco

Crocs

Dillard’s

Dollar General

Dollar Tree

Foot Locker

Genuine Parts (is NAPA auto parts)

  1. TC: Thanks for sorting out all those firms . I noticed that the 1792 Exchange ranks Jeff Bezos’ Amazon as high risk. Too bad they have such a large share of the retail market.

    1. Fortunately, the list provides some alternatives– Barnes and Noble for books (I also like Christianbooks.com); Wayfair; Dillard’s; Lowe’s Home Improvement; even Dollar General and Dollar Tree.
      Also Homegoods, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, Office Depot, Staples, Costco, BJ’s, Foot Locker, Academy Sports and Outdoors, Tractor Supply.

  2. Thanks for this list. I’m looking for a new bank and found a few nationally which contribute to conservative causes but they are out of state.

    The big surprise on this list is Land o Lakes which I have avoided ever since they removed the Indian maiden from their packaging.

    1. Lynn, First Citizens is definitely an option. But this 1792 Project will not include the smaller local and regional banks. Some of these might be good options in this area. Many folks do their banking with credit unions, and there are several in our region. But I definitely would stay away from Truliant. (The smaller local and regional banks and the credit unions might be best from the standpoint of avoiding the traps associated with a digital currency and the social credit system the dark forces want to implement.)

  3. Yes. I just opened an account with them. Good customer service other than that I don’t know if they are woke. I think it is the largest credit union in the world.
