Ukraine designates PepsiCo, Mars as 'international war sponsors'

Thank you kindly. Just subbed to both 😁🍻

I don't see why it would. It's not like they're in a position to not buy from wherever they can.

If you buy a drone for lets say 1000$ from Xiaomi via AliBaba, 100$ of those go to AliBaba maybe 1$ goes to Russia. from the 900$ left for Xiaomi, 600 are gone for the production. 300 left, 3 go to Russia. 4$ for Russia. But if this drone helps invalidate only one russian soldier, that 4$ are easily worth 100000$. If it helps invalidate a tank, it goes to the millions. Thats easily worth it if there is no alternative

Pepsi is actually named after Pepe the frog.

Franklin Clarence Mars (/ˈmɑːrz/; September 24, 1883 – April 8, 1935) was an American business magnate who founded the food company Mars, Incorporated, which mostly makes chocolate candy. Mars' son Forrest Edward Mars developed M&M's and the Mars bar. He is also widely believed to be the god of war.

Yeah but America is not at war with Russia. Ukraine is. They might not be allies, and not on friendly terms whatsoever, but there's still a line to be crossed before considering them as actual enemies.

Yes, during wartime. The US is not at war with Russia.

You do have a point... Nestlé is also as evil as they come but a KitKat® is so delicious

It's even more delicious now that Kiev terrorist regime hates it!

Because most international conflicts that the US enters are due to threats (or potential windfalls) to the profitability of our largest companies.

Or at least that's the joke/context

Can we not be as stupid as redditors when they downvote people for asking questions?

No, I'm not Raid. I'm my own original game, Rage. People really need to get their facts straight...

Oh yes, come is my favorite. I come everywhere I go.

Vení, vidi, veni

The coconut is very subtle.

Have you had rc anytime recently? It tastes like store brand soda

A tankie is someone who is pro-communist dictators, put shortly.

You’ll find them on hexbear and other instances that your instance has hopefully defederated from.

A pro-authoritarian communist. Typically used derisively.

Increasingly, "tankies" seem to cover any infraction against the approved anti-russian fervor;

• if you are not convinced Russia blew up Nord Stream
• if you are not convinced that Russia blew up a farmer and a tractor in Poland
• if you are not convinced that Ukraines summer offensive is going all that well
• if you believe normal Russian people are not evil monsters
• if you are not convinced that Putin ordered the downing of Prigozhins plane

Equivalent of "woke", but used by liberals. Generally meaning "people left of us that we don't like".

Yeah Proctor & Gamble is the toughest one for me. They kinda have a lock on some industries like laundry detergents.

I guess we just do our best. Russia is a small market, so it doesn't take to much of hit to these bastards in the bigger markets before they abandon Russia.

There’s a reason they say that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. This isn’t to say we should just throw our hands up and give in, but do whatever the hell you can.

For instance—sorry if you already know to do this—it may not apply for a lot of these companies, in that the goods are consumed, but whenever you can, buy secondhand to reduce not just waste, but also profits for whoever produces the product you buy. Also, sorry if it sounds trite, but I like to think that every little step helps in some way.

I bet they donated when the checkout kiosk prompted them for a dollar to Slava hahaha

I guess you don't see the irony in your statement, huh?

Oh, no, they prob. do, they just won’t give it to you even when you rightfully won it

Neither do I, despite how much I've asked 😢

Oh yeah you're right.

Your instance hasn't defederated from Lemmygrad yet, and we won't defederate your instance so you have to deal with expanding your perspectives.
