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.

The news source routers also suggests that you switch to openwrt.

If Trump pulls out of all the international agreements, he would lose all his credible threats and would sound like just another dictator wannabe raving threats.

There’s the Trump flip flopping

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…

Lemmy Explorer is a great tool to check out if a community already exists.

 

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.

We hire by merit. Not by idiocy.

Why not Lemmy.ca when the server is actually located in Canada.

There are more democratic reforms needed and a lot of how politics functions is based on the culture and current attitude.

I feel sorry for Sanders calling out that buffoon.

 

They just namecall, snub them and say they’re virtue signalling.

I of course encouraged the wise folks and thanked them for considering the alternatives. Hopefully they will ignore the noise and follow their morals.

 

After Tim Cook donated $1 million to Donald Trump the one whose threatened tariffs and the territory sovereignty of Canada, the recent dealings with Starlink to improve satellite connectivity, the plans to bring back Apple ads to Twitter. All this behaviour from his company is unacceptable.

We need to contact our mps and call on them to table legislation that would force Apple to open up sideloading like how they have done in the European Union. You can find your mp's information here and remember letters to parliament do not require stamps. It's our hardware we bought, we have the right to do with it as we please. We need to open up the phones, tablets and watches.

So that we can have our canadian open-source app store alternative. Where we can support our local talented developers without Apple siphoning off the software sales.

 

Thanks Tim Crook
