We should do this here in the USA too because American food companies make garbage food where everything has high fructose corn syrup and 50 other highly processed ingredients while the European equivalent has 5. Whenever anyone comes to the US, they always put on weight while not changing eating habits. That, along with shrinkflation and a number of greedy practices, I’d like to see these companies all go bankrupt.
Absolutely!
As an American who has gotten to travel to Scandinavia, the food is so much more fresh and high quality. Even the basic stuff like a hotel breakfast or workplace cafeteria lunch.
It was one difference among a thousand others that I noticed when being there in person. I remember thinking to myself “what is this strange vibe I’m getting from all these cultural differences? Oh, it’s human dignity, respect for others, and in turn respect for oneself.”
I want to say “Europe, help!” but I know they have to protect themselves and the world from our shit show first.
“what is this strange vibe I’m getting from all these cultural differences? Oh, it’s human dignity, respect for others, and in turn respect for oneself.”
Oh how peculiar. I live in Finland and have found that a lot of those things missing. Tourists are treated well, yes. Regulations are good, sure. Food, air, water all fresh, good quality. Not too diverse though.
The stories I could tell you, you honestly wouldn’t believe half of them. Things for which I would’ve had hundreds of thousands in compensations and would have had no problem finding a lawyer to represent my case. Here no-one cared that the cops quite literally tortured me, insofar that keeping me locked up for three days in an isolation cell without even a mattress or ever turning out the lights while denying me my prescription medication so that “I’d be ready to talk” is in fact actually torture. Especially because they saw me go fucking nuts there. I ate my own pinky open with my teeth and used it as a magic marker to draw over 300 words in my own blood on the cells. And the guard cackled at me from the comm for pleading for help and my meds.
I told this to my family, my friends. No-one cares. Literally no-one. Not so much as a “I feel bad that happened to you”. No. My mother literally said “well I don’t know what happened there” as in “you may have deserved it.”
At one point, they turned off my water. Everyone should realise how legal it is to keep someone locked up without water, right? No no. Not a peep from anyone here in Finland. No-one fucking cares. Made a criminal complaint. Nothing. Tried getting the video material, as they dared accuse me of “vandalizing the cell”. I said “well it was all filmed let’s check it shall we, for evidence of this crime” and suddenly it didn’t exist anymore. And I didn’t make the request, some just law school finished scaredycat lawyer who I got did. And said the cops were really fucking weird and afraid when he was asking for it.
but no-one cares no justice not even admission that I was tortured, just victim blaming and people literally avoiding me because that broke me and I’ve had huge ptsd for several years, fucking horrible flashbacks and nightsweats of my doorbell ringing and being taken in the night again over a few cannabis bushes.
But I’m thinking you weren’t in Finland, because you did say “Scandinavia”, not “Nordics”. Finnish cops are more authoritarian than the rest of the nordics combined. Quite literally. As in more complaints to EU human rights laws.
Damn, I am sorry to hear that. That does sound awful and beyond authoritarian. That shit was indeed horrific and all I hope for right now is for your current and future mental state to heal as much as possible.
I visited Sweden btw, and I didn’t spend time with their police fortunately. And after double checking the definition of “Scandinavia,” holy crap I always thought Finland was included! I’m not sure how I learned that incorrectly. I also remember considering “Nordic” when writing my post, funny enough.
Can’t wait to see some Teslas upside down at the dealership
I could tell this was Lidl just from the font on the prices.
If I want to boycott American, buying Lidl and Aldi own brands is an easy way to do this, yes? I’m doing this by default because I have an easily navigatable Lidl that I can walk to.
Lidls owner Schwarz is heavily invested in an Israeli “cybersecurity” start-up run by a former Mossad director. As always with Israeli “cybersecurity” that embraces “former” ties to intelligence, you should expect ongoing ties to Israeli and US intelligence agencies.

These are the kind of people that helped get Trump elected.

I am American and I am doing all my grocery shopping either at Aldi or from farmer markets now. Fuck Musk, fuck Trump, and fuck the US for falling to fascist oligarchy.
Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Democracy
A single random picture isn’t actual evidence of this happening at all.
I saw this in a Canadian article as well.
People check to see if they’re American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn’t have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.
I don’t believe this. The average Canadian/Eurooean is not aware of associated situation.
Edit: ok so the Canadians seem to have a proper movement going.
With the average European however I stand my ground, most are not aware or gaf
You’ve already shown your ass I don’t know why you think anybody’s going to take anything else you say seriously
I have friends in Canada that tell me the hatred is so fucking strong there you have no fucking idea.
Clearly you aren’t from around here then. Everyone I’ve talked to is avoiding American products and I’ve personally seen upside-down items. Maaaaaaybe you shouldn’t make statements about the average Canadian if you’re not informed.
The average European is following this more closely than their own countries politics.
All non eu products? Or jus american products
