Shit, I'm American and even I'm anti-American.

I'm a human before I'm an American and America isn't acting very humane.

Act like trash, get treated like trash.

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

A natural reaction to their anti-world actions. Non-idiots could foresee this.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Huh, weird. who could have guessed acting like a douche would make people hate you? It's almost as if everyone could see this coming.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't support fascist regimes, I have completely changed the way I do my groceries. and saving money in the process.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Same here. If I don't want to do research, I just pick the store brand of whatever I'm buying. It's usually the cheapest anyway and quality varies from exactly the same to passable. So far only the cold-brew tea and the artifical sweetener were really not acceptable, but non-American alternatives exist for both.

Wow its like US culture was only held up by goodwill from USAID, NIH, and weapons donations to ukraine and it turns out people think the US is otherwise a bunch of billionaire sex perverts and their wage slaves when you dismantle those things.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 40 points 1 day ago

So you're telling me that if we make the world hate us, they might send us less money?

lol didn’t McDonald’s host their own orange clown when he was campaigning? They and their nasty dried burgers can fuck off.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Well, electing a strongman politician while abolishing goodwill programs that project soft power tends to have consequences for your economy. Mostly negative consequences, but hey, at least you get to wear a red ballcap that says your country is the bestest ever and all other countries suck mud, right?

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I have been living and working in Asia for over 20 years. The anti-American sentiment is the highest now compared to any other time in the last 20 years.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 39 points 2 days ago

All the gigantic tech corpos I have to deal with are American. I was having anti american sentiments before the orange dictator, but they sure are at an all time high.

[–] puddinghelmet@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Easy solution: Don't be a dick to regular humans and human rights and the Anti-American Sentiment will fade.
You were always the front-runner for democracy and peace, but making a 180 since january all of a sudden is, yeah, not chillaxt at all... Youknow?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

since january

So the American voters aren't the only ones who forgot 2016-2020...

[–] puddinghelmet@feddit.nl 2 points 13 hours ago

And for the SECOND time indeed... lmao

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

MAYBE if some of the brands is being pro-nazi, supporting trump. duh

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 days ago (11 children)

I'm high and I'm craving Doritos. But I can't have Doritos because they're American (yeah, yeah, technically I can but I won't). Fuck Trump for taking away my Doriotos. At least I have Lays

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 12 hours ago

Do you guys not have generics for Doritos? Almost every store in the UK seems to have a comparable store brand, with creative non-copyright names for the nacho dust lol

[–] viking 17 points 1 day ago

Lays are American as well, sorry to burst your bubble.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 6 points 1 day ago

Leave the Lays on the shelves too, that's as American as Doritos. same mother company. Sadly Croky is also American (Pepsico is the owner of that brand)

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago

But both of those are Frito-Lay (and Pepsi is their parent)

The American't boycotting will continue until they have their own little-engine-that-could revolution, kick the fascism to the curb, and adjust the perception of their own importance and contributions to the world.

It might even last a little longer than all that. The message must be understood.

I will personally never set foot in that cursed country again in my life.

Good, fuck the child rapist trump and his fascist regime.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 31 points 2 days ago

Good, fuck America in general. The world absolutely needs less reliance on central powers like America and China and hopefully everybody can work on improving.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is there an up to date list of brands and companies that supported trump/maga?

I tried using publicsquare just now to search again but it seems like they took away the ability to do so, probably to stop people from boycotting fascism. And other searches don’t really bring up such lists (mostly just articles talking about the most prominent companies that are well known to have bent the knee).

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 7 points 1 day ago

I'm not making any such distinction... I just go "if brand is USA, then buy = no"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 68 points 2 days ago (11 children)

This is why that German waffle chain, Luftwaffles went broke in the 1940s.

If they only hadn't thrown money at Trumps campaign. And what are they doing now? Kissing his ass and throwing money at him to get on his good side. Totally ignoring that he has none.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 82 points 2 days ago (2 children)

"Wow, I can't believe we backed a fascist shitwit and now people hate us????"

Corporations never learn. Literally. They're incapable of learning.

Major US brands are a good chunk of the reason behind rising anti-American sentiment.

Yeah well maybe they shouldn't have blindly followed and sucked up to Trump either they come out completely apposing him (which is not likely to happen) or I will not buy any products from them

The test of the word should basically boycott the US entirely. Buy nothing... Sell nothing. Do not visit the USA. I appears to be what the administration wants anyway

I think that Coke know that, that's because in Mexico there is a logo "Made in Mexico" in every coke.

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

In Germany, Coke has put on a large "Made in Germany by insert funny name" campaign.

They know and are worried

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 89 points 2 days ago (15 children)

Because of the global trade war? Or because of their implication in aiding Israel in committing genocide? Or both?
