    While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.

    This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.

      I’m in Canada and Facebook is huge for my business. We get more bang out of a free social media post than paying for advertisements anywhere.

      I fricking HATE IT.

      On a personal level, I almost never use facebook. I refuse to put it on my phone and really only use it not to post stuff for the business - which I do through a 3rd party social media app.

        FB is huge in Canada for personal stuff too, me and my friends do not post meal pic or vacation or things like this, but damn marketplace and some hobbies group are strong there. Just the “Made in Canada” FB group grew from 50’000 members to 1.1 million in less than a month.

          FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy, it’s just a question of age/generation I guess

    Guess they aren’t really our allies after all. The truth always comes out eventually.

      Yea, your comment history reveals you to be a twat.

        You can call me names. If their population’s intention is to harm us economically then maybe they aren’t great allies?

          It was meant to be descriptive

          Twat: a stupid or annoying person

          Their populations intentions are to

          1. not to support an overtly fascist regime
          2. applying tit for tat as a game theoretic approach to US bullying

          However, the US has never been a great ally for anyone else. Historically they abandon nations whose use for them has expired. Economically and strategically they treat their so called allies as subjects, now even more so than before.

            Just own it. Stop pretending that engaging in bullying insulting behavior is somehow different because YOU did it. You’re a bully and it’s ok, I’ve met a lot of bullies and you won’t be the last. You hate anyone that disagrees with you but i don’t hate you.

              I am not a bully for insulting you, unless you mean the archaic usage of bully:

              a fine chap

                Just own it. If you insult and degrade others for having a different opinion than you yes, you are a bully. It’s ok. Your hate is making you powerful.
