Shit, I’m American and even I’m anti-American.
I’m a human before I’m an American and America isn’t acting very humane.
Act like trash, get treated like trash.
A natural reaction to their anti-world actions. Non-idiots could foresee this.
I don’t support fascist regimes, I have completely changed the way I do my groceries. and saving money in the process.
Same here. If I don’t want to do research, I just pick the store brand of whatever I’m buying. It’s usually the cheapest anyway and quality varies from exactly the same to passable. So far only the cold-brew tea and the artifical sweetener were really not acceptable, but non-American alternatives exist for both.
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.
So you’re telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?
Oh well
That’s fucking adorable bro
If I were a tardigrade?
Huh, weird. who could have guessed acting like a douche would make people hate you? It’s almost as if everyone could see this coming.
lol didn’t McDonald’s host their own orange clown when he was campaigning? They and their nasty dried burgers can fuck off.
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.
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.
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
maybe they could try donating more money to him
maybe they can shower him with his obsession with more gold related paraphenelia.
For profit corporations will always support fascism given the chance. It’s no coincidence Mussolini called it corporatism.
Isn’t managing brand awareness and reputation… you know, a fundamental part of running basically just most businesses with large consumer bases?
Gee, its almost like these people with ‘executive’ or ‘president’ or ‘head’ somewhere in their job titles are all fucking morons who are bad at their jobs, by their own description and metrics they use to describe them!
Bonus Anarcho-Syndicalist 'hot take'
The solution isn’t to replace those particular people.
The problem is not those particular people.
The problem is a wildly unbalanced and codified system of power dynamics.
The solution is a radical restructuring of for profit corporations into democratic worker cooperatives of some kind where workers elect their leaders.
Unions, as currently implemented in the US, are generally laughably useless in terms of… you know, actually doing the things they are supposed to do.
This shit will never end and hypercapitalism will drive us all into early graves unless we do something a bit more more radical.
‘Radical’ meaning: To address the root cause, instead of the effects.
… And for any liberals reading, no, no the oligarchs will not just agree to do this after a passionate speech or ‘insightful’ op-ed in the Atlantic.
You need to have what is called leverage.
In this context, that means a credible threat of violence.
One of course hopes this threat has to only ever remain as a threat.
Sorry, I didn’t write these rules, human history did.
We need Luigi #2 and #3 and so on. That is the way.
In any other nation it would have been a domino effect. Alas, a culture raised on vehemently individualistic ideals cannae be arsed beyond vengeful school shootings.
I am in a marginalized group, so I have always been an outsider to some degree. Been here since I was a kid and still do not know what a community feels like.
Maybe other countries should not have trusted america since it’s first illegal war
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?
“Wow, I can’t believe we backed a fascist shitwit and now people hate us???”
Corporations never learn. Literally. They’re incapable of learning.
Personally i hated america since iraq war. If i knew younger about other terrible stop the united snakes did i would hate it sooner
Shareholders do, buy while backing fascist, sell just before launching a “fascism actually back mmkay” message.
- ⭐ Shareholders profit.
- ⭐ Burger go up in price.
- ⭐ Free advertisement.
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.
Same same. Absolutely shitty culture and they deserve everything they voted for.
This is why that German waffle chain, Luftwaffles went broke in the 1940s.
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.
Not only German brands, there are plenty of US corporations that built and supported the German war machine. There were production sites in Germany that were not bombed because they were insured by US companies. WTF!
Holy crap! The IBM one is new to me. Thanks.
VW was literally founded on Hitler’s orders.

Waffe = weapon
Waffel = waffle
Luftwaffe literally means aerial weapon. But an accurate translation would be air force obviously.
Waffelwaffe?
armored stroopwafels… in collaboration with the Dutch.
Waffenwaffeln!
Feels like someone translating “Air Force” into “sky push”
Exactly. Literal translations while sometimes interesting are often misleading.
