The people running these companies should be afraid to show themselves in public.

People need to start policing themselves, because there will be no accountability. There should be like a top 10 most wanted list of shitty people fucking everyone over and we should all agree to harass them and not give them a moments rest. If they want to fuck us over collectively for their personal gain, there should be consequences.

The best consequence we can give to the wealthy is to reduce their wealth, because that's all they care about.

It'd be more effective if people stopped giving them any money by refusing to buy their products/services, choosing other brands over their's, and letting them know why and what they're doing,

I created 2 zines on kbin Sponsors Of Russian Invasion & [Biz Against Russian Invasion ](https://kbin.social/m/BizAgainstRussianInvasion devoted to the use of these democratic & powerful actions against sponsors of Russian invasion. Have a look and let us know your thoughts.

Man .. Heineken? My favourite beer.

I don't want to diss anyones taste, but just to help you find a subtitute: have you ever tried any other beers?😅

I mean, the world has a bigger selection of quality beers than it has ever had. For each Heineken there's a gazillion of very similiar and an abundance of way better beers available. I bet it's not difficult to find a better substitute 🙂

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I'm from Germany, so yes, I tried plenty of beers already. 😬

Lucky you! The second best beer country in Europe, only surpassed by Poland 😃

I used to always get Heineken but not anymore. I’ll never have another because of this. Fuck that company.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Should this even be a surprise? They have a giant red star right there on the label...
