The NACP's register of international sponsors of war includes Philip Morris International, Alibaba Group Holding, Bacardi, Unilever, Mondelez International, Xiaomi Corporation, P&G, METRO, Auchan, and other brands.

@Cloudless & I maintain a zine tracking all Sponsors of Russia's invasion at https://kbin.social/m/SponsorsOfRussianInvasion . We use multiple sources viz. Ukraine govt sites, Yale's tracker, and credible news sources.

We also have a zine tracking business who have rejected to support Russia's invasion and have exited Russia at https://kbin.social/m/BizAgainstRussianInvasion

Bacardi? It would be off-brand for them to not back dictatorships.

Not surprised that a company named after the god of war is an international war sponsor

[-] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world 112 points 10 months ago

Took me about 7 seconds of thinking before I realized you meant Mars. Couldn't remember a God named Pepsi for the life of me.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 21 points 10 months ago

Pepsi is actually named after Pepe the frog.

Actually, Mars was named after its founder, Franklin Clarence Mars.

[-] jcg@halubilo.social 26 points 10 months ago

Franklin Clarence Mars (/ˈmɑːrz/; September 24, 1883 – April 8, 1935) was an American business magnate who founded the food company Mars, Incorporated, which mostly makes chocolate candy. Mars' son Forrest Edward Mars developed M&M's and the Mars bar. He is also widely believed to be the god of war.

FYI: the "the" before Ukraine is superfluous. You can just type "like Ukraine just accused you of."

"international war sponsor" what a nice title, I think every company operating in US should have it!

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 11 points 10 months ago

Why

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Because most international conflicts that the US enters are due to threats (or potential windfalls) to the profitability of our largest companies.

Or at least that's the joke/context

Can we not be as stupid as redditors when they downvote people for asking questions?

[-] End0fLine@startrek.website 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Especially questions asked of a sentence steeped in hyperbole.

This explains why LinkedIn was sending out surveys today asking "What do you think about PepsiCo?", "What are the top reasons you would want to work at PepsiCo?", to a bunch of people. The whole thing was extremely weird, and obviously a PR campaign

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

Just another reason to not drink the diabetes piss water that is Pepsi. They lost the cola wars for a reason. Come sucks too, but fuck Pepsi even harder.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 51 points 10 months ago

You drink a lot of come?

[-] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Oh yes, come is my favorite. I come everywhere I go.

Wow the tankies are out in force on the comments on this one.

[-] wets0cks@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Wth are tankies?

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

A tankie is someone who is pro-communist dictators, put shortly.

You’ll find them on hexbear and other instances that your instance has hopefully defederated from.

A pro-authoritarian communist. Typically used derisively.

Pepsi advertising the fighter jet is making more sense now.

They did also have the sixth largest naval fleet in the world for a brief period in 1989.

As a direct result of trading with Russia, even.
