We got it wrong. We should make a “non-boycott” list of people who aren’t assholes yet. It would be way shorter, and we would remove people when they become so fucking stupid and arse-licking that they have the idea of reworking the national anthems of shitholes such as saudi arabia.
I would add Elton John and Tom Hanks, but if I look too deeply they may secretly be British Nazis working for the Queen to overthrow the American government…
Reducing other’s freedoms because they’re bad for you is something I’d consider evil. People should be allowed to make choices for themselves. If you think they’re harmful than you should try to educate people, but you shouldn’t try to make them having a choice (which you were allowed to make) illegal.
Costco made their CEO a multi-billionaire, that means billions of dollars that could have stayed in the customers’ pockets or that could have been redistributed to all employees.
I sincerely doubt that there is a way to determine which behaviours/beliefs are good or bad. I, for example, doubt that I will get a rating of “good” beyond 75% (educated guess).
Honestly, my standards for “good” behavior for corporations are astoundingly low; just don’t be bigoted, don’t actively wreck the planet, and don’t kill people.
I’m not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump’s language, so long as it’s aimed at countries y’all dislike, and so long as it fits y’all’s agenda
It’s a monarchy and the people generally seem to be okay with it on a certain level. I have been told by associates that is mostly because Islam inherently backs a caliphate and thus monarchy is not seen as undesirable.
Completely false. It’s a dictatorship that jails anyone who publicly disagrees with the government. MBS even locked up his own mother for criticizing his jailing of relatives. The people are NOT okay with it, thats like saying it seems like Saddam Hussein is popular because nobody wants to risk their lives speaking out.
And no, there is nothing at all in Islam that supports a king. A caliph is elected.
If it’s literally a capital offense to call for a different government, do you think people will freely admit to a pollster that they dislike the monarchy? Stop assuming that the dictator is actually popular.
I have never been to KSA so I’ll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He’s just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is “Trump’s language”

So, Costco and who else?
Tom Morello is based as hell

Elton John thinks weed should be illegal because he’s an addict and says it’s a gateway drug.
It might be an unpopular opinion, but it doesn’t make him a monster. His reasoning for it is that he doesn’t want to cause more harm.
Locking people up isn’t right either but he is entitled to a point of view

I’ve heard Dave Grohl is pretty ok?

Not exactly. Also recently announced a child from cheating on his wife.
I knew it was too good to be true

And yet most of them can’t even manage that.
What about don’t steal billions from labor?
If I refused to patronize every business that did that, I’d likely starve to death. Which is incredibly sad.
I do try to avoid the worst offenders, though.
I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language

Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.
No it’s a dictatorship. The people suffering under that US-armed and US-backed dictatorship don’t need the insults.

Please provide a valid source that backs your claim. Please find any evidence for widespread support for a non-monarchal state.
You’re asking me to prove a negative.

Racism and bigotry towards: Arabs, Chinese and Russians is still acceptable. They get to decide who is okay and not-okay.
