    It sucks that Oakheart is sort of the only dark rum type drink I like even without a mixer (I don’t believe it’s actually a rum legally speaking because it’s called “other spirit drink” in Estonian stores), but given that I already haven’t drunk it in years, I think I can boycott it very easily.

    iirc Bacardi have always been an asshole company.

    Maybe not Nestlé-level assholes but Goya-level at least.

        While left-wing activists tried to hurt Goya’s bottom line, conservatives fought back by launching a “buycott” to support Unanue and his company.

        High-profile figures like Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump promoted Goya products, and the support led to a 22% surge in sales in the weeks following the controversy.

        Unanue even mocked the boycotters later that year, joking that Ocasio-Cortez had been Goya’s “employee of the month” because her boycott calls had only boosted sales.

        . . . After the 2020 election, Unanue made headlines again when he questioned Biden’s victory on Fox Business, calling it “unverified” and hinting at a “coming war.”

    I mean supplying alcohol while earnings go to Bacardi (Bermuda?) should be a net loss for russia. I’m willing to let this one pass.
