whenjun
oh
yes

flavor
ywah

shua
ofc

minghow
right
there's been released lists of brands and places/things to boycott because of their help/support or cooperation with israel and i want us to follow it

whenjun
oh i'm down ofc

shua
i saw that too very recently
so many brands i didn't know about either

minghow
yeah, well i can share them or link u guys
i'd never force you of course, but i know you're all anxious about it like when we talk abt it and stuff and this is something that we can do to help from afar
that and spread awareness

whenjun
there was this guy in my contemporary social inequalities class who, when i took up palestine and congo and sudan, went 'god i hate politics'

flavor
you can hate politics and still spread awareness, asshat

whenjun
GDHS THATS WHAT I MEAN
some people are all about money. what is israel doing for their country like KILLING OTHERS???
it's about the bigger fucking picture
the country who's funding you or whatever, is responsible for a fucking genocide
CHILDREN are being killed. CHILDREN are taking their OWN lives but you don't wanna lose out on business
stupid fucking assholes in charge who should never be in charge
i wanna do whatever i can to raise awareness, please feel free to send me all the links and posts you want

flavor
me too

shua
me three

wonwhy
yeah same here
i find posts and stuff through other friends on instagram to read through and post on my own, they're quite informative just so u know

mingyu
same here !! should we all make a plan to just send what we can find to the gc ??

shua
good idea

soap
amazing yes
i know how ignorant some of these uni students can be but i've decided to open a forum to meet and talk about the different genocides and atrocities going on in the world right now and how to educate ourselves and how to help, and a bunch of people have signed up to join so i've regained some hope in humanity

hosh
monday at 3 right?

soap
that's right

flavor
i'm there

boo
we're all there

vernwhere
itll be good to have real conversations with people and be able to see where everyone's getting their sources and to see if there are any misunderstandings and stuff
that's my biggest fear
for there to be misinformation spread and i go around thinking i know what's going on when i don't

soap
that's what we're here to stop

hannie
that's amazing cheol

minghow

minghow

boo
ok cool just making sure
i saw it on insta, but there were people complaining abt it n it pissed me off
i love starbucks u guys know this
but coffee is coffee. i'd rather have a coffee and also know that i'm not supporting a business who supports a country that's responsible for ethnic cleansing and fucjing genocide

free palestine. please don't stop educating yourselves and read up on the boycott lists. the top three i know about are macdonald's, disney+ and starbucks. others i've read about are coca cola, and everything under it which includes monster, sprite, fanta. then we have other brands like cerave, the ordinary, burger king, dunkin donuts, kfc, pizza hut, dominos, pepsi, armani, kitkat, subway, twix, nutella, pringles, doritos, dove, estée lauder, bobbi brown, gillette, wix, HP, ariel, snickers, intel, baskin robbins, fiverrr, costa, johnson johnson, toblerone and hardee's. support small businesses, find other ways, find other things. and don't feel bad if you had no idea, but if you do now and still choose to support these business, take a moment to consider what your money really is going to. this list is just mentioning some of the brands/businesses to boycott, please educate yourselves on this subject.
