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.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

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?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 19 points 3 hours ago

So you're telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

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.

A number of companies have noted this trend. David Gibbs, CEO of KFC and Taco Bell parent Yum Brands, told analysts in late April that the company was closely monitoring the issue and its impact on consumer behavior, but added that there had not been an observable impact on its sales.

I'm surprised its mild enough for them to claim this so far.

I know the Canadians are pissed, but are all y'all's peers on other continents mostly... indifferent? I guess it's egotistical to assume people generally follow American news, but some of it really seems hard to ignore.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

lots of folks in my circle also boycotting american products and services. in the cross hairs here are Amazon, Google, any american food, booze, clothing, cars, etc. Most in my circle dont watch american news. its depressing to see a country descend into third world status so quickly

[–] bystander@lemmy.ca 1 points 58 minutes ago

My aim is currently at big tech and food conglomerates specifically. I still have a soft spot for small businesses and B Corps from the US. If they go out of business, then all that's left are the corpos.

I feel like the people who would avoid those brands were already avoiding them because they're crap. A lot of people don't care, don't understand, or generally support trump. ~ England

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago

Is there an up to date list of brands and companies that supported trump/maga?

I tried using publicsquare just now to search again but it seems like they took away the ability to do so, probably to stop people from boycotting fascism. And other searches don’t really bring up such lists (mostly just articles talking about the most prominent companies that are well known to have bent the knee).

lol didn’t McDonald’s host their own orange clown when he was campaigning? They and their nasty dried burgers can fuck off.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 34 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 25 points 9 hours ago (9 children)

I'm high and I'm craving Doritos. But I can't have Doritos because they're American (yeah, yeah, technically I can but I won't). Fuck Trump for taking away my Doriotos. At least I have Lays

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 29 minutes ago

Hawkin’s cheesies

[–] viking@infosec.pub 12 points 4 hours ago

Lays are American as well, sorry to burst your bubble.

[–] Knoxvomica@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If you're Canadian get old dutch. Their chips are better anyways.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

Their sour cream and onion chips are better than most.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 hours ago

But both of those are Frito-Lay (and Pepsi is their parent)

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Seems cruel.

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What a perfect internet comment.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 hours ago

Seriously, who keeps doritos out of the hands of stoners?! It just isn't right

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Just buy some local corn chips and sprinkle cheese powder and msg on em.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Aren't some flavors made in canada? Or cause the parent company is Yankee?

[–] HHK@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I think that Coke know that, that's because in Mexico there is a logo "Made in Mexico" in every coke.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 35 points 12 hours ago

If they only hadn't thrown money at Trumps campaign. And what are they doing now? Kissing his ass and throwing money at him to get on his good side. Totally ignoring that he has none.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 46 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Good, fuck the child rapist trump and his fascist regime.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 26 points 13 hours ago

Good, fuck America in general. The world absolutely needs less reliance on central powers like America and China and hopefully everybody can work on improving.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 31 points 13 hours ago

How can this be. Being Nazi scum has blowback?

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 49 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] paperazzi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Same same. Absolutely shitty culture and they deserve everything they voted for.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 64 points 16 hours ago (7 children)

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.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

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!

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 13 points 13 hours ago

VW was literally founded on Hitler's orders.

Major US brands are a good chunk of the reason behind rising anti-American sentiment.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 14 hours ago

AIPAC is the biggest right now. We need to ban and deport the Israeli lobby.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 18 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 41 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

The test of the word should basically boycott the US entirely. Buy nothing... Sell nothing. Do not visit the USA. I appears to be what the administration wants anyway

"Wow, I can't believe we backed a fascist shitwit and now people hate us????"

Corporations never learn. Literally. They're incapable of learning.
