Don't worry, I'm only doing an apolitical boycott.
What's a non-politically motivated boycott?
Boycotting Türkiye because you don't want to learn to type ü
writing Türkiye iş hard case my autocorrect becomes Turkish right after
It's still Turkey to me
I've been boycotting sabra for years because it's fucking mid
I love how they're talking out of one side of their mouth with "Charlie Kirk was just trying to protect free speech uwu" and out of the other side of their mouth with "also if you criticize Israel even in the slightest we will come down on you like the hammer of Thor" like how fucking dumb are burgerlanders for putting up with this shit
You say this as if we have a choice lol
Oh don't worry; I do it for moral reasons.
Oh nooooo so if my company is boycotting israel I'm barred from checks notes getting pentagon contracts
Oh nooooooooooooo
are there any non-political boycotts?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Religious ones?
Your honor, It was not politically motivated when I was boycotting Israel, I just don't like Sabra hummus. It was entirely coincidental that did not purchase any Israeli products over a long period of time.
How does this hold up constitutionally?
They are past giving a shit or even pretending to give a shit.
The Supreme Kangaroo Court will pretzel logic any damn thing Droopy Don wants.
It will be ever so slightly funny to see SCOTUS say that buying EPYC instead of Xeon for a data centre is antisemitic hate speech
it's the same as the state anti-bds laws so it won't be challenged
and it's hard to imagine it even being applied, imagine a firm that does contracts for the fucking Pentagon which supports BDS? that can't be a real company.
Could this impact IAM, UAW or CWA's pension trust if they divested while representing weapons contractors?
good question. the wording of the free bit of the article just sounded like contracts but if they want to try to make private pension funds invest in israel this might be picking a fight
"no sir, I'm upholding BDS because I think Sabra hummus is ass"
Do you condom hummus
“You’re under arrest for not consuming product enough!”
Bro, I’m poor. What do you want? Want product to be consumed? Take it up with porky.
pick up that can! ... of sabra... and eat it
I don't think being opposed as genocide is political as much as human.
When the freeze peach government has a "not using freeze peach" condition to do business with you.
Just say it's your religion that forces you to boycott Israel then
Obviously bad but god I'm sick of bullshit headlines. Makes it sound like we're one Senate vote away from banning it entirely, get scared enough to click in, turns out it's actually just that federal contractors can't protest Israel now
1/3 of the USA economy depends on the contracts; including the majority of USA colleges and universities. Over half the population indirectly provides services to these contractors.
It is not impossible to make it later a condition that defense contractors cannot do business with boycotting companies. That would effectively end the movement in the USA
If only Israel made anything useful I could boycott them. :(
