Yeah well maybe they shouldn't have blindly followed and sucked up to Trump either they come out completely apposing him (which is not likely to happen) or I will not buy any products from them

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 69 points 2 months ago (1 children)

maybe they could try donating more money to him

For profit corporations will always support fascism given the chance. It's no coincidence Mussolini called it corporatism.

Because of the global trade war? Or because of their implication in aiding Israel in committing genocide? Or both?

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 73 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please don't stop there. We need people to witness this and do like the boycotters abroad are doing.

It's about bullying and exploiting other countries with really high tariffs.

It's about our full support of Israel while they commit a genocide.

It's about our failure to uphold the deal we made with Ukraine to get them to agree to nuclear disarmament.

It's about deciding not to honor contracts made during the last administration, saying that they no longer apply, and allowing the people who benefited from USAID abroad (and tons of federal, formerly dependable paychecks at home) to fall off without even an acknowledgement of wrongdoing, while yelling that anybody who isn't hand-over-fist greedy isn't American.

I've been saying this since he first started campaigning: STOP GIVING HIM STUFF. HE GOES AWAY WHEN YOU STOP LISTENING TO HIM AND GIVING HIM YOUR STUFF.

This. Stop feeding the troll, Murca.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Another reason is because America is lowering their food safety standards and food from them may kill you

Both, plus the sabre rattling about Greenland and Panama, plus the BS with Visa/Mastercard and resistance to the idea of other countries trying to circumvent reliance on American banking, plus probably a bunch of other stuff I'm forgetting or that is too region specific to mention here.

[–] Typhoon@lemmy.ca 23 points 2 months ago (5 children)

the sabre rattling about Greenland and Panama

Ahem. And Canada.

This is why that German waffle chain, Luftwaffles went broke in the 1940s.

[–] McDropout@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (4 children)

To be honest a lot of German brands collaborated or directly worked with the Nazis are still in business today like most german car manufacturers for example. Dr. Oetker comes to mind also.

Major US brands are a good chunk of the reason behind rising anti-American sentiment.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

AIPAC is the biggest right now. We need to ban and deport the Israeli lobby.

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 53 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The American't boycotting will continue until they have their own little-engine-that-could revolution, kick the fascism to the curb, and adjust the perception of their own importance and contributions to the world.

It might even last a little longer than all that. The message must be understood.

I will personally never set foot in that cursed country again in my life.

I boycott as much as i can from the US and Israel

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 50 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good, fuck the child rapist trump and his fascist regime.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 31 points 2 months ago

Good, fuck America in general. The world absolutely needs less reliance on central powers like America and China and hopefully everybody can work on improving.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The test of the word should basically boycott the US entirely. Buy nothing... Sell nothing. Do not visit the USA. I appears to be what the administration wants anyway

So you're telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?

All the gigantic tech corpos I have to deal with are American. I was having anti american sentiments before the orange dictator, but they sure are at an all time high.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

If they only hadn't thrown money at Trumps campaign. And what are they doing now? Kissing his ass and throwing money at him to get on his good side. Totally ignoring that he has none.

Wow its like US culture was only held up by goodwill from USAID, NIH, and weapons donations to ukraine and it turns out people think the US is otherwise a bunch of billionaire sex perverts and their wage slaves when you dismantle those things.

Fun fact: there are Canadian companies/products named after American cities: New York Fries, Boston Pizza, Philadelphia cream cheese. These companies must be kicking themselves now

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Time for a rebrand: North York Fries, Brampton Pizza. Someone help me with Philly

I'm high and I'm craving Doritos. But I can't have Doritos because they're American (yeah, yeah, technically I can but I won't). Fuck Trump for taking away my Doriotos. At least I have Lays

[–] viking 17 points 2 months ago

Lays are American as well, sorry to burst your bubble.

A natural reaction to their anti-world actions. Non-idiots could foresee this.

"Anti-American business upset to find out that after becoming (buying) the face of America people still don't fuckin like them."

You can't convince me that AI isn't writing these dogshit headlines anymore. These are so formulaic predictable and middle of the road normalization that it makes me physically react.

I have been living and working in Asia for over 20 years. The anti-American sentiment is the highest now compared to any other time in the last 20 years.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

I wonder why

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Well, electing a strongman politician while abolishing goodwill programs that project soft power tends to have consequences for your economy. Mostly negative consequences, but hey, at least you get to wear a red ballcap that says your country is the bestest ever and all other countries suck mud, right?

Is there an up to date list of brands and companies that supported trump/maga?

I tried using publicsquare just now to search again but it seems like they took away the ability to do so, probably to stop people from boycotting fascism. And other searches don’t really bring up such lists (mostly just articles talking about the most prominent companies that are well known to have bent the knee).
