Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I feel like these corps did a calculation and figured out everyone has an excuse to not boycott companies like Disney except right wingers who have become exceptionally good at the boycott.

In my experience those people will typically boycott brands as a group meanwhile my friends find every excuse in the book to support the major corps hurting them. Even aoc went to Florida during covid. And people wonder why they win.

Yup. Leftists Don't have that insane person conviction. Dip shits need to learn to boycott

Leftists are already trying to fuck megacorps over, why would they try and placate them?

Lemmy is a niche of a niche and there are more centrists (liberals) here than leftists

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

What niche of a niche? Reddit is pretty mainstream now.

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everywhere?

The whole idea of leftism is to deconstruct hierarchical power structures.

mega corps are the current incarnation of exactly that.

[–] iusearchbtw@lemm.ee 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ideals aren't the same as action

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Fair, fully agree there.

What do you mean where? It's literally in the name.
