The Age of the Coward is here, where America’s most powerful corporations, once eager to preach their values, now fold like cheap umbrellas at the first gust of political wind.

“The brazen hypocrisy staggers the mind. Disney, which commands a market cap larger than the GDP of many nations, can’t find the courage to even wait for court challenges? Meta, which regularly boasts its power to connect billions, suddenly can’t muster the strength to defend its own policies and users? These aren’t businesses making tough choices – they’re paper empires run by moral cowards—simpering, whimpering, and weak.”

    Can’t even remember the last time I bought any of those brands you mentioned. Maybe Gain. I might have a box of dryer sheets I barely use because it makes my clothes feel weird.

    Also I’m Canadian, so lately I’ve had my phone out while shopping to make sure the umbrella company of anything I buy is at least a Canadian investment giant, or preferably not and I pay more for less if it means supporting local

    EDIT: gum! I definitely buy gum without thinking about my purchase impact

      Don’t worry, some of them are a different brand in Canada.

      Just like how half those brands on the lists are different brands in the EU.

      You may have bought from the same company, rebranded more than you know.

      That doesn’t even get into the fact that generic brands and sometimes smaller brands often use the same factories as big brands but pay them for production time (butter is notorious for churning out 5 different brand labels on the same production line)
