Whenever a company makes their whole image about something that has nothing to do with their actual business model, I immediately doubt the quality of their product or service. Especially if that image comes with an overtly political agenda. If their thing is something I like or care about, I’ll consider the possibility that their quality might, maybe, be decent, but this particular company is one where I intend to let my assumption stand untested.
I can’t tell you if the coffee is any good, (I’m not supposed to drink coffee anymore. But the doctor didn’t say anything about tea). But the company was started by veterans that were having a hard time adjusting to civilian life after combat.
They made some money, and then sold the brand out and retired.
Reminds me of my in-laws switching to Patriot Wireless to get away from “liberal AT&T”.
I couldn’t figure out which part was more laughable. Thr fact that AT&T and “liberal” are virtual antonyms or that they’re paying money to a middle man and still get service through AT&T.
Apparently you dont need mass market appeal when there is a dedicated group of idiots who are naive enough to believe you’re on their “team” and will enthusiastically spend money on your inferior product or service in cult-like solidarity.

Same, they’re just pandering to a guaranteed base instead of actually bettering their product
