HBO Max series “The Last of Us” follows a grizzled man in an apocalyptic world. After a fungus outbreak has infected the world, fundamental freedoms are taken away while an overreaching bureaucracy searches for a cure. While “The Last of Us” is fiction, its depiction of real-world scenarios may be a lesson and a warning.

At the heart of “The Last of Us” is the loss of autonomy, created not by the outbreak but rather by the reaction to it. Measures aimed to contain illness, panic, and fear hinder one’s ability to freely live, move, and have contact with one another. The plot draws out elements that the world faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing viewers to think about how we as a civilization should respond to these events and what the implications are for the survival of humanity.

As corporate culture goes woke, conservative Americans have punched back. Thanks to organizations like Consumers Research, which examines the actions of corporations and alerts customers if companies go woke, consumers can support businesses that respect and share their values. For example, Bud Light has recently experienced a loss in sales due to its transgender collaboration.

This is the necessary response to corporations that abandon their customer base and cave to wokeness. Turning a blind eye will only encourage bad behavior. A vacuum created by these woke companies also offers opportunities for entrepreneurial conservatives or established companies that represent American values. For brands steeped in American tradition, the time is right to step up to the plate and serve a newly created need.
