PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well. (brandsownedby.com)

I work in a servo/convenience store and about 3/4 of our drink fridges (all 10 or so doors worth) are the same 4 brands. Probably most of the store is covered under like 7 brands.

Coke, Pepsi, Schweppes, Nestle, Unilever and there goes almost everything edible and drinkable that isn't fresh.

Now here's the scrubber of this all -- If you REALLY want to be serious -- Go to a farmers market.

Oh wait, almost every fucking farmer is a Trump supporter...

Large corporate farmers maybe (you've provided no support to your claim). In my experience though (a decade in fine dining, with direct relationships to many market farmers) there are more small farmers without their heads up their asses. They understand how they are being fucked with water rights, climate change and no right to repair. While nobody is doing enough on these things currently, they recognize that trump is gasoline on the fire that disrupts their lives.

I'd rather support a working farmer than an evil corporation

Well obviously - me as well - but I'm being told by extremists here that any support for a Trump supporter makes me a Nazi, and I don't want to be one of those.

You don't even need to support a Trump supporter to be a Nazi, you just need to mention something not great about his main competitor.

"Biden could've done better at..." - Nazi
"Harris ran a poor campaign." - Nazi
"My coworker liked one thing Trump said." - Nazi (you too because Nazi bar)
"My coworker doesn't like Harris' position on..." - Nazi

I've never voted for Trump in my life, and I even held my nose and voted for Biden in 2020. I didn't vote for Harris in 2024 because I realized Trump would win my state by 20+% regardless, so I might as well support a third party.

So I guess I'm a Nazi. Well, it was a good run, I guess I need to go punch myself in the face because that's what I do to Nazis...

Fairly accurate.

A lot of them, sure. Not all of them.

not for long, it seems...
