Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe
-
Is there a 'Buy African' list? I wasn't able to find one so far.

It was a private company that decided not to provide their refueling services to the American Navy, not the Norwegian government. What the government is saying is that they will not be not doing the same that Haltbakk Bunkers is doing. But this company stays firm. The practical effects will probably be minimal, since they are an important but rather small actor in the sector. But as a Norwegian, I am proud of them! (And not so much of my government).

No. People should boycott all companies which operates in an evil country
Which countries aren't evil? I believe we are all on the same boat here that's why people need to help each other rather than picking up nationalistic fights.
-
Sorry, but usa is indeed very much more evil than most other countries. E.g. overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries, committing war crimes, taking the side of other countries invading others, etc. All countries are not equally bad and usa is one of the worst, especially with Trump in power.

It seems reality-denying to me to say "there are only companies, not countries"
Obviously there are countries and governments and states.
Do you think the boycott of South Africa was a bad idea?
-
I wish people would boycott spending on the big holidays. That'll hurt the oligarchs the most.

"Originally selling it as Iron Brew, the drink's makers, A.G. Barr, were forced to change the name of the drink in 1946 following a change in the law that stipulated that the marketing of products be "literally true". As the drink did not contain much iron, nor was it brewed"
"The brand also has its own tartan"

It's gas the way they used the word 'shitshow' in their press release.
-
I'm down, anyone have a great list with images I can use?
-
I sell this in my store in Canada.
I would love an Irn Bru sugar version. I don't like the taste of Aspartame

My gf (who is not on the fedivere or any social media) came to me the other day and wanted to stop buying U.S products. Not that we really did before. Spendrups make better soft drinks than Coca-Cola and Pepsi anyway.

Thanks! I should have been more specific, I was thinking more in the groceries department.

Same link is on the front page of reddit.com

I've felt this way since Mango Mussolini's first term.
-
Wouldn't say that, after Gaza people are quite used to boycott certain wares.
I know a lot of people irl which already don't buy coke or eat McDonald's anymore
