2023: The Year Corporate Wokeness Crashed
Join Charisma News as we delve into the eye-opening stories of major corporations that embraced anti-God ideologies and pushed woke agendas on their customers. In this must-see video, we explore the consequences of these decisions and how they ultimately led to massive consumer boycotts and billions in losses for these companies.
Will corporate America learn its lesson about pushing spiritual darkness on their customers, or will they keep going down this radical road?

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,300
In 2023, we saw businesses and corporations overwhelmingly choose to side against free
2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,100
speech and American values.
3
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:15,640
But we also witnessed a counter movement of entrepreneurs forming new companies to respond
4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:21,240
to the darkness that has spread across some corners of American businesses.
5
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,820
Hello everyone, I'm James Lasher with Charisma Media.
6
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:30,880
This year not only saw a continuation of corporate entities pushing leftist ideologies onto their
7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:38,080
customers, but it also saw the American businessman and woman push back against the machine that
8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,880
is trying to pull this country down the wrong path.
9
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:48,160
Perhaps the flagship company of Progressive Ideals in 2023 was not the monolith that is
10
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,160
Disney.
11
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,420
Don't worry, we'll get back to them in a minute.
12
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:53,860
But the retail giant Target.
13
00:00:53,860 --> 00:00:58,780
Target has of course been making waves for years ever since they began allowing men to
14
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:00,560
use women's restrooms.
15
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720
This year though, they really outdid themselves.
16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,920
In a year that saw Budweiser losing billions of dollars due to their teaming up with TikToker
17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Dylan Mulvaney, a man who parades around as a woman, Target decided to join them in the
18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,740
waters of a national boycott, which also saw the company lose billions of dollars.
19
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:26,240
But Target was not just content on teaming up with a member of the LGBTQ community.
20
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Oh no, nothing so common.
21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,320
They partnered up with a satanic member of that community who openly promoted Satan and
22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,160
all of the tolerance and acceptance that comes with the Prince of Darkness.
23
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Compound this partnership with the line of swimwear aimed at children which is tuck-friendly
24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,440
and Target certainly outdid Budweiser and Disney when it comes to the heinousness of
25
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:51,840
their campaigns.
26
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,560
The backlash was swift, but that hasn't swayed Target from their goal of alienating
27
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,040
those who do not bow at the altar of pride as they now have released their Christmas
28
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,200
Pride collection just in time for the holiday season.
29
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Yet they are not alone.
30
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:15,120
2023 saw a giant in the media industry begin to fall as well.
31
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Disney has been pumping out absolute garbage films for years now.
32
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,440
The loss of their audience's goodwill has begun to have a significant effect on the
33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,960
company.
34
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,640
People are not going out in droves to see the new Disney or Marvel movie anymore.
35
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,680
And don't get me started on what they have done to Star Wars.
36
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Disney lost over a billion dollars from movies alone in 2023 as movie after movie tanked at
37
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,600
the box office.
38
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Why would this be?
39
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,680
The House of Mouse was at one time an untouchable juggernaut.
40
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Well, when they infused radical feminism and LGBTQ ideology into every single film that
41
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,040
they make, sooner or later people are going to stop going to the films.
42
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,680
And that has become evident in the flops of 2023.
43
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,880
That they spent billions of dollars on creating.
44
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Such as Light Year, Strange World, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion,
45
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,600
The Marvels and the newest flop to join this growing list.
46
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Wish.
47
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,600
Maybe.
48
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Just maybe.
49
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:31,480
Families do not want to go to the movies and be inundated with homosexuality, anti-male
50
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,240
diatribes and the occult.
51
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Crazy concept.
52
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,320
I know.
53
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,040
But the numbers speak for themselves.
54
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Yet 2023 saw other companies promote outright Satanism.
55
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,560
And they did not do it quietly either.
56
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Fried Chicken was quite bold and open about their promotion of the absolutely demonic
57
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,640
video game Diablo 4.
58
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Now let me start off by saying to the many defenders of this game, when we first reported
59
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:07,120
on it earlier this year, no, you are not saving the world by fighting against the demon army
60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,440
of Lilith.
61
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:16,520
That is a lie and a deception of the devil to get you to consume this satanic product.
62
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Filled with blood sacrifices, demonic imagery, idols, altars, gore, sorcery, torture and
63
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
the list goes on.
64
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,440
God does not use things he finds abominable.
65
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Such as necromancy and sorcery to overcome the devil.
66
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Before submitting myself completely to the Lord, I too was a gamer for most of my life.
67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,760
To include playing games in the Diablo series.
68
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,480
I'm not proud of this, it's simply a reality I repented of and now use in the same way
69
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,360
as Paul to establish that I know what I am talking about.
70
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,640
I know what this game holds in it and it is nothing but demonic and is spiritually detrimental
71
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,840
to anyone who plays it.
72
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:11,200
That is why it was such a shock to see KFC buildings plastered with posters of the demon
73
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,720
Lilith, the main antagonist in the game.
74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Dramatic imagery was actively promoted across the country and people flocked to it just
75
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,240
so they could get some in-game content.
76
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Many Christians, whether knowingly or not, ate at these very establishments after attending
77
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,200
church on Sundays which featured demons on display.
78
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Believe me when I tell you, playing a game that may be pleasing to the flesh is not worth
79
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,320
the price that it will take on your spirit, nor the doors that it will open into your
80
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,000
life.
81
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Demonic oppression is a very real thing and consuming media such as this game will open
82
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440
the door to it into your life.
83
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,760
But there is good news to combat these spirits that have infiltrated the business world and
84
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,860
that is the victory of Jesus Christ.
85
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:11,000
People are recognizing what these companies are doing.
86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,480
It has become so obvious and the evil is so tangible that even non-Christians have called
87
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,720
them out.
88
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Even if they do not fully understand the spiritual implications behind these events, some, like
89
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,880
CEO of Public Square Michael Seifert, want to push back against the anti-family values
90
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:39,360
of larger corporations and their pro-abortion incentives and offers his employees a $5,000
91
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,980
bonus when they have children.
92
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:47,200
This bonus extends to employees who have a child or choose to adopt one in the hopes
93
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,280
of creating stronger families across the country.
94
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:56,920
In the Great Commission, Jesus tells his disciples to go out into all the world.
95
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,320
As a man who spoke in parables quite often, Jesus meant for Christians to be prominent
96
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:09,240
in every aspect of culture and society, such as the digital world, the business world,
97
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,000
the political world, the sports world, and every other corner of society.
98
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080
If we aren't, well, just look around you.
99
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,400
You will see the areas of society where Christians have avoided going into the world and instead
100
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,080
have handed it over to Satan on a silver platter.
101
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:35,000
So will 2024 be a year where Christians decide to shop and spend their money on biblical
102
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,240
principles or will we just keep going along with society and shop at companies who are
103
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,960
openly hostile to God because it's convenient?
104
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Everyone has a choice in this matter and eventually everyone will have to make the choice of which
105
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:57,640
side they are on, the side of God or the side of the world.
106
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,480
I pray the church takes a stand and shines the light of Jesus for the whole world to
107
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,400
see instead of covering it under a bushel.
108
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
I'm James Lasher with Charisma Media.
109
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:35,400
God bless you and have a happy new year.
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,300

00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Now let me start off by saying to the many defenders of this game, when we first reported
59
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:07,120
on it earlier this year, no, you are not saving the world by fighting against the demon army
60
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,440
of Lilith.
61
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:16,520
That is a lie and a deception of the devil to get you to consume this satanic product.
62
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Filled with blood sacrifices, demonic imagery, idols, altars, gore, sorcery, torture and
63
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
the list goes on.
64
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,440
God does not use things he finds abominable.
65
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Such as necromancy and sorcery to overcome the devil.
66
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Before submitting myself completely to the Lord, I too was a gamer for most of my life.
67
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,760
To include playing games in the Diablo series.
68
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,480
I'm not proud of this, it's simply a reality I repented of and now use in the same way
69
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,360
as Paul to establish that I know what I am talking about.
70
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:02,640
I know what this game holds in it and it is nothing but demonic and is spiritually detrimental
71
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,840
to anyone who plays it.
72
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:11,200
That is why it was such a shock to see KFC buildings plastered with posters of the demon
73
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,720
Lilith, the main antagonist in the game.
74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Dramatic imagery was actively promoted across the country and people flocked to it just
75
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,240
so they could get some in-game content.
76
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Many Christians, whether knowingly or not, ate at these very establishments after attending
77
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,200
church on Sundays which featured demons on display.
78
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,360
Believe me when I tell you, playing a game that may be pleasing to the flesh is not worth
79
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,320
the price that it will take on your spirit, nor the doors that it will open into your
80
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,000
life.
81
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,760
Demonic oppression is a very real thing and consuming media such as this game will open
82
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440
the door to it into your life.
83
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,760
But there is good news to combat these spirits that have infiltrated the business world and
84
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,860
that is the victory of Jesus Christ.
85
00:06:07,860 --> 00:06:11,000
People are recognizing what these companies are doing.
86
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,480
It has become so obvious and the evil is so tangible that even non-Christians have called
87
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,720
them out.
88
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Even if they do not fully understand the spiritual implications behind these events, some, like
89
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,880
CEO of Public Square Michael Seifert, want to push back against the anti-family values
90
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:39,360
of larger corporations and their pro-abortion incentives and offers his employees a $5,000
91
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,980
bonus when they have children.
92
00:06:40,980 --> 00:06:47,200
This bonus extends to employees who have a child or choose to adopt one in the hopes
93
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,280
of creating stronger families across the country.
94
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:56,920
In the Great Commission, Jesus tells his disciples to go out into all the world.
95
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,320
As a man who spoke in parables quite often, Jesus meant for Christians to be prominent
96
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:09,240
in every aspect of culture and society, such as the digital world, the business world,
97
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,000
the political world, the sports world, and every other corner of society.
98
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080
If we aren't, well, just look around you.
99
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,400
You will see the areas of society where Christians have avoided going into the world and instead
100
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,080
have handed it over to Satan on a silver platter.
101
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:35,000
So will 2024 be a year where Christians decide to shop and spend their money on biblical
102
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,240
principles or will we just keep going along with society and shop at companies who are
103
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,960
openly hostile to God because it's convenient?
104
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Everyone has a choice in this matter and eventually everyone will have to make the choice of which
105
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:57,640
side they are on, the side of God or the side of the world.
106
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,480
I pray the church takes a stand and shines the light of Jesus for the whole world to
107
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,400
see instead of covering it under a bushel.
108
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
I'm James Lasher with Charisma Media.
109
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:35,400
God bless you and have a happy new year.
