    I’ve really tried my best to separate Bud Light and A-B from InBev. I know they own Grupo Modelo. They are both subsidiaries of InBev with their own corporate structure.

    i just think its sad that the grain farmer is going to lose some money because uhhh ummm buds marketing did a poor job anticipating a global right wing moral panic around a singular customized beer can promotion its just really sad bud did this i can't get over how stupid they are i mean theres nothing wrong with being trans (except this trans person is bad for ??? reasons) but just anticipate the global might of right wing media coming down on a 60 second tiktok i mean its just to be expected

    oh, stand up to bigotry? oh nononono the sales man come on the market spoke we gotta listen

    Well that’s not going to happen until you get violent with them and that’s definitely not the right answer. You can say in your communist fantasy land that they should be scared to leave their homes but here in reality, they leave their homes just fine every day and buy a lot of beer.

    They don’t give a shit about you giving them an inch. They despise you as much as you despise them. They have an economic say so whether you like it or not.

    their superpower is buying another brand from the same mnc

    I am impressed

    Because parent corporation doesn’t equal subsidiary branding. This is about the brand, not the Belgian conglomerate that owns them.

    it isn’t about the brand, it’s about the bottom line— by your own argument

    And Molson products, and Coors, and Constellation. The longer this holds, the more people will make the corporate connection and shy away from other InBev products as well.

    i wish i could set a reminder to see how this all shakes out in two years similar to how every single right wing boycott has

    they get bored, find a new villain to express their grievances on and maybe kill someone they think look trans in the mean time

    A-B is its own company that has its own corporate structure and standalone financial statements. I think it’s fair to separate Grupo Modelo from A-B in this instance. They are for all intents separate and ultimately competitors at the end of the day.

    I would agree with you if it wasn’t for the nature of the beer industry. Casual drinkers may come back but the ones that drink everyday with their buddies at the bar or buy a 6 pack a day will not come back once they get used to their similar replacement. There are too many competitors for them to bounce all the way back. Not without some genius marketing moving forward.

    I like how believing that we should be hostile towards bigots means I'm a communist. Liberals and actually quite a few actual centrists don't fucking like them either you retarded fuck

    The sad part is you've literally learned nothing and you're a still a piece of shit bigot

    this mf said handwaive today. not only is that funny in a typo way, it’s incredible foreshadowing to this, where he made a subsidiary into a competitor.

    Got DAMN I need some of this ideology.

    conglomerates being in competition with themselves is chefs kiss perfect summation of our capitalist structure at this point

    lets just have one uhh central authority that creates subsidiaries to have efficient production, just have two of each per market for "competition" purposes, yeah that's the ticket

    This dude doesn’t have a problem with bigots, his issue is with trans people being given a platform that’s it. He’s just a piece a shit and wasting a bunch of time and words trying to dance around the fact that he just doesn’t wanna see trans people or that they should exist. You ain’t slick

    disgusting stuff
