Also keeping in mind with the current state of the capitalist hellscape, avoiding companies that supported trump/GOP can be difficult to impossible for a good chunk of people. If the only grocery store that you're able to get to is Walmart, I am not going to criticize you eating.

Virtually every automaker doung business in North America has kissed trump's ass at some point in the last decade.

Nestle and Unilever are fucking everywhere and also have many subsidiaries that it can be difficult to figure out if they're involved in the product you're using.

Good luck using technology produced by a company that hasn't supported him or the republican party.

With how badly things are ratfucked, I will applaud any effort to reduce consumption from these companies, because it's at least a little better than actively supporting them.

In no way I was trying to undermine the point of the previous comment. It's more of a twisted case of national pride. You can't just claim the super evil corporation that is trying to take everyone's water as yours! They are Switzerland's seat at the super villain table.

What a weird complaint. Do you have a better example for what they're describing? I think Nestle is one of the best examples they could have used. They're one of ten food megacorps and FAMOUSLY shitty.

Americans bring up nestle because they bring up the most local company they know of (brandingwise) that is doing shady shit nearby.

Nestle is involved in a major water extraction operation in california (largest pop US state) where some towns have been rationing water for years. Its one of the most cynical, evil things being done by a heavily branded corporation that USians can see.

I'd probably mention microsoft or uber first but I don't live in a city with water rationing.
