Boycotting Unilever is not as trivially easy as boycotting the other two brands. Unilever does not plainly identify itself on the packaging of its public-face subsidiaries.Plus how much of it is actually still usuable. And why is he telling the minister of defense “here’s the ammo” after the defense ministry found and took it already.
Heineken easy to boycott for me, I avoid it regardless. And Oreos are just abominable. But Unilever… jfc… since 2020 British instead of British/Dutch but everything in NL in major grocery chains is Unilever. Not literally everything but most of the premium / non-lowbudget brands. It’s the stuff that’s not actually better but costs more because of marketing expenses like tv commercials (the main reason I avoid it). Many household names. Popularity took a hit already, because of the high inflation and Unilever making billions extra and still raising prices many people switched to cheaper alternatives.
Looks like the news hasn’t been covered as extensively here as it should, few articles in major newspapers a week ago, some a few months ago, some last year. Unilever's position is that not remaining owner means Russia will be owner, no money going in or out Russia. Ukraine's position is the Russian division is paying tax in Russia and with that supports the war. My position is that there's a web of businesses across several countries that can be linked back to company's in Britain and NL and that Unilever and its shareholders are powerful elites. My position cause I like to side with facts. They're trying to wait it out so they can continue doing business as usual or sell it after the war.
Fortunately it is easily looked up on the web.
In my case, I buy few of their products anyway, and avoiding those presents no hardship.
With the exception of All laundry detergent. It is the cheapest effective laundry soap that comes in a no dyes/fragrances variant. I have a few years’ worth stashed away, in case we have a replay of the great toilet paper panic of 2020.
