That’s the one! They’re pretty spammy too with the frequency. Yeah it’s both because you can see the inappropriate community icon too.

We’re gonna beat 53k!

 

How much do the companies that lease them out make?

Of course he notices. Soon he will complain about the fediverse.

Hopefully this American stuff is just something you read in the newspaper while turning the pages.

I’m happy for you. I hope you have a great life in your new home.

America is going to quickly realize they need to hold Donald Trump and his cronies accountable if they want to be associated with the world’s most democratic nations.

We will force them to follow international law whether they like it or not.

There’s that defeatist mindset that won’t achieve anything. Nestle is nothing without the workers, customers and suppliers. We can inform more people about the scandals of nestle and of the alternatives.

Ahh here it is the one trying to protect capital at all costs while discouraging one form of activism.

You can't break apart corporations by boycotting them. You break them up by intervening with the State when they're too big to ignore.

Are you really an anarchist when you’re asking for state intervention.

You said Nestle? You think you can boycott Nestlé effectively? Do you have any idea how many different businesses that means? And do you honestly expect the average working person to care enough to try to learn them??

Nice strawman there buddy. Keep yelling at the rooftops that opposing Nestle is pointless to protect their assets. There’s plenty of small independent companies you buy products from instead.

...but everyone's evil, more or less,, and we're all broke, so... yeah imma shop at Walmart if I got to.

Are you really arguing the “all sides are equally bad” as Walmart the one who does balant unionbusting and seriously calling me the one who didn’t think much about the topic.

Walmart is not the only cheap place (before they raise the prices after driving out the game in town) you can shop at farmer’s markets, ethnic stores, Aldi, Costco…

 

I thought they would be all for boycotts because it would attack the capital assets of the bourgeois. But I was told that boycotts hurt the small people “so don’t do them” without suggesting other actions unironically even when they’re complicit in crimes. Why not direct your money to supporting smaller businesses so they can poach the workers with better pay and working conditions when the corporations fire them due to there being less revenue in that quarter. We can break apart corporations such as Loblaws or Nestle if we stopped buying their products even in situations where they’re have the regulatory capture as the source of their moneymaking scheme would be completely cut off. It will become less and less excusable in the public’s eyes that the governments of the world are subsiding and allowing price gauging to go unchecked. They will pay a massive political price and will be quickly on the way out alongside the corporation.

Posteo and Tuta are pretty decent!

 

Facebook won’t ever recapture that old feeling. But Friendica has it.

I made this community as I wanted to support the nations that have the most accountable democracies, the strongest labour practices and the highest unionization rates of the world.
