Huuh? Great they have somehow a mean, I guess? But they should shift their perspective on why they should boycott not only US based multibillon dollar companies but every company involved in destroying our only home, fragile body, our kids future? ...
But whatever 🤷♂️
Yes, excellent idea, stop participating in society. /s
Huh? Never did I mentioned to not participate in society. On the contrary. However I find it a bit hypocrite...
Would France boycott coca cola, McD, Tesla if Trump wasn't elected? ://
France should boycott France?! Let's be realistic, how does someone like Macron is still in power despite the new votes to take him down?
Just my personal opinion, I'm not versed enough in politics to judge anyone. However, I have read a lot about how those multi billion dollar companies destroy our kids future...
Boycott for the real reason, not with a sketchy political background !
