What companies should we be boycotting?

Hobby Lobby

In N Out

Barilla pasta is cancelled?

Radioshack

Chick-fil-a

[quote] I haven’t bought Smuckers

Why Smuckers?

Why Barilla?

Lol R3.

They cancelled themselves.

Barilla has a huge following all over the EU. They sell very different products here in Romania. For example, I got these pappardelle that are made with spinach from the fridge where they keep the freshly made pasta and was in a funk where I only ordered out for a week and, in the meantime, the pasta went bad. Point being...why do our products back home have such a long shelf life? In any case, I finally broke down and got some good ole American cheddar and Gruyere and made mac n' cheese so I guess I am also just as bad.

Coca Cola

R9 is the starting point - along with Pepsi and Nestle.

It’s the environment.

NIKE (sweatshop labour) and Nestle and its brands and subsidiaries (stealing water) come to mind.

What's with this "Best little Boy in The World" gay ,socially conscious responsibility BS?

Walmart - never have never will

Chick fil-a

Goya

Barrilla

Kraft - all products. I hate Robert Kraft

McDonalds

I’m sure there’s more

R12, our garbage is no longer exportable so we will be sitting in our own shit very soon. It’s socialized cost and privatized profit.

We’re taking your 401k. TIA.

Smuckers?

chic-Fil-A

barilla

Goya

Dolce & Gabbana

Fuck them all

Why should I give my money to companies that work against my rights?

[quote] What's with this "Best little Boy in The World" gay ,socially conscious responsibility BS?

Do you sit in your house and punch yourself in the face until you bleed?

No, you say?

Then why would any sane person spend money with a company that is working against them?

Smucker's - deadly pet food.

"What's with this "Best little Boy in The World" gay ,socially conscious responsibility BS?"

Maybe it's about a group of people who care about each other, the environment, civil rights, etc. As opposed to you, R12, who probably has never lifted a finger to help another human being -- gay, straight, man, woman, or anything else -- in your sad, self-involved, lonely life.

I'm still boycotting UPN.

Hua Wei

Sony and Universal

Blockbuster and Borders

Dolce Gabbana said nothing I don’t agree with. Give it a rest. That being said. Nestle ,Disney and McDonalds.

Unfortunately it's not up to you to decide for others who they want to boycott or not.

I'm boycotting Burger King until they go gender neutral.

boycott boycunt

Sean Cody

Snapple... big sponsor for Rush Limbaugh for many years. I still avoid the stuff even after they left Rush in the dust.

Start with Nestlé. They are by far the worst.

Amazon, Amazon, Amazon

Baxter's soups

We? I don't know about WE, but I still won't fucking eat at Cracker Barrel.

Also, Fat Whore Against Hate Chicken.

Plenty of hateful corps listed above, that I probably SHOULD boycott, but...

Really, we should be boycotting many national and international companies. They are mostly terrible for the planet and for people.

Buying local when you can reduces your carbon footprint and helps local people, businesses, and the economy.

Stop falling for every marketing scheme out there. You don't need bottled water from France. Tap water is usually fine, if not buy a water cooler. Only a relatively small percentage of people need bottled water.

Support farmers markets and organic farmers when possible.

Stop buying fast fashion and crap from Walmart and dollar stores. Yes, some people rely on those places, but if we all made our local economies better, leas people would have to count on cheap crap from dollar stores and the like.

Stop buying single use plastics when possible. Use glass reusable containers instead of zip lock baggies and plastic wrap.

Avoid Amazon and Nestlé altogether. Same with Nike and McDonald's. Horrible, horrible corporations. Nike has not reformed. Barilla has done a better job of reforming than they have.

Reduce and reuse as much as possible. For some people it's hard, but most people can make an effort. Don't be lazy and stop being part of the problem.

Wetherspoons

I don’t give a shit about D&G’s overpriced schmattas but I still say the comments or views by I can’t remember which one, were not anything to go insane about.. R35 is correct and sums up what people should be against not petty nonsense.

You "shouldn't" be boycotting any companies.

You should be making thoughtful decisions about whether you want to support companies whose policies adversely impact you or run counter to your own views.

Also, it's easy to take a stand when it doesn't have any negative consequences. For example, if you object to the ridiculous prices of Pfizer drugs and how they "screw" people over, should you really take their covid vaccine or should you wait until you can get the Moderna or J&J one.

If people keep boycotting food companies or restaurants because of political and social issues, they'll all starve to death as the owners and management politics are exposed.

[quote]Dolce Gabbana said nothing I don’t agree with.

So, r25 doesn't believe same-sex couples should raise children.

R31 is correct

It might be helpful to actually know WHY we should boycott these companies.

Goya and Barilla are pretty commonly known.

One supports Trump and the insurrection, the other is anti-gay.

What about all the other companies?

People who give themselves a pat on the back for boycotting Chik-fil-a are so fucking performative.

If someone cares about the world, the biggest single change they can make it to not eat meat.

Says you, R43.

As someone said upthread, it's a personal choice that aligns with OUR values. Not yours.

But fags on DL still love Chick-fil-A!

All that test on animals.

CFA is the EASY one to avoid, the one that everyone should never spend a cent with.....but there's always dumb, unethical cunts who whine...."but I love their sandwiches....it's my only treat....wah wah wah."

What's CFA?

Chik

Fil

A

Op think for yourself for once in your pathetic life!

R44 Actually, no.

The vast majority of deforestation is due to meat farming. Mass amounts of water and energy are used to make feed for cattle.

I don’t actually give a shit, so I continue to eat meat, including CFA. BUT don’t ate like you care about the world and then eat any meat you don’t personally hunt.

GOYA

No one's mentioned MyPillow?

We should also be boycotting homophobic countries (and the companies that support them), but we don't.

Everyone should boycott Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple.

I was a stylist at an Ulta for a few years on a very part-time basis. I had no issues while I was employed there & left on very good terms. So this isn't a post about retaliation against a former employer. Discount was pretty good, gratis was just OK & the other stylists who came & went while I was there were for the most part decent people. Managers were a different story, but I never had issues with them/they never had any issues with me. But since leaving I refuse to spend another penny with company & encourage others not to, either. The behind the scenes waste is of unfathomable proportions. They & many of the manufacturer's whose products they sell promulgate vegan- & eco-friendly ethics while having no issue with discarding hundreds & hundreds of products a month for reasons as basic as slight changes to packaging. Total hypocrites. Completely unopened, unused product headed to a landfill, plastic packaging & all. Several times I inquired about donating the bulk of these products to shelters & women's mentoring programs but was told it simply wasn't Ulta policy. Sure, a company that loves to promote the empowerment of women. Also, when the scandal broke (pre covid) on social media about returned make-up/product being resold...All true. Of course it wasn't official policy that was actually written down anywhere, but there were several times I heard district managers tell general & salon managers to spray a product with alcohol & return it to the shelf. Unlike products they discarded at the direction of manufacturers, most products returned by customers are a loss for the company, as Ulta doesn't receive a manufacturer's credit for this. It was very unsettling to see the very tops of the company throw store managers/supervisors under the bus by issuing statements contrary to what these people were being instructed to do by their superiors. So, like most other large companies, Ulta is all spin. I just happened to see how unethical a company it is with my own eyes. I recommend people spend their $$$ elsewhere.

All corporations essentially suck.

Anything made in China. COVID payback needed.

Just remember:

Soylent Green is people!

They must be boycotted. Their actions must have consequences that carry meaning for their corporate behavior. Money.

R58 Along with that theme, I have to agree. I was considering investing in a company called Jinko Solar because solar energy is good, right? And in the course of my research, I stumbled onto a NYT story that said JKS might use slave labor of political prisoners to build their solar panels. A corporation really couldn't be worse than that.

[quote] No one's mentioned MyPillow?

Nobody really uses that stupid pillow, anyway, but yes it should be boycotted.

Also, there was once a thread about this, but companies using palm oil (many cosmetics corporations) should be avoided due to human rights abuses.

[quote] Kraft - all products. I hate Robert Kraft

Robert Kraft, owner of the NE Patriots, who's a despicable Trumper, has nothing to do with Kraft Foods.

[quote] [Robert] Kraft was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the son of Sarah Bryna (Webber) and Harry Kraft, a dress manufacturer in Boston's Chinatown. His mother was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia; his father was a lay leader at Congregation Kehillath Israel in Brookline and wanted his son to become a rabbi. The Krafts were a Modern Orthodox Jewish family.

The founder of Kraft Foods, James L. Kraft, was a right wing Christian.

I think it’s a field of land mines. Capitalism is about exploitation at it’s core. I try to find the ones who are worst offenders like Chick-Fil, Barilla, etc., and try to not do business with them as much as possible, even if I have to pay more out of pocket.
