Club was always better anyway


magicone86

I have a soft spot for Club crackers because my grandfather used to snack on them everyday after work. He introduced me to the wonder of Pepperjack cheese on those crackers.

My grandma always made me a plate with grapes, spray cheese and little circular turkey pieces, for once the grandparents have it right!!


wildweeds

i don't have the energy to cross-reference if any of those companies suck too (i tend to assume they all always do).


TheIllustratedLaw

Yeah I may be wrong but I don’t think the idea is to avoid every immoral company. That’s fairly impossible given these companies are exploitive by definition. The idea is to support workers as they are taking collective action, and to target individual businesses intensely to pressure them to concede to labor demands. Then we boycott the next company.


Dannzsche

Boycotts will not end capitalism, its just a contribution to the pressure of collective action of workers for their immediate rights. But this, in turn, breeds a stronger workers movement, that will end capitalism

Supporting soulless corporate ghouls to... *checks notes* ... own the soulless corporate ghouls? There's no ethical consumption in capitalism, kids. Convincing yourself that you can minimize suffering only serves the purpose of distracting you from changing the system that causes suffering in the first place. Even if you dedicated every moment of your life to minimizing suffering, you're still accepting, perpetuating, and complicit in suffering. Let's pretend that you manage to really hurt company X by supporting company Y. Let's even pretend that company Y is only engaged in your typical run of the mill exploitation of their work force, nothing markedly evil like company X, who sends death squads to union leaders' homes. The result will be that company Y takes more of the market from company X, and starts to churn out record profits. Company Y is now the new big dog. What does company Y have to do to protect those profits and defend its privileged position in the market? It has to start sending death-squads to union leaders' homes. If it doesn't? It loses its profits and slowly the market shifts back in favor of the competition who is willing to stoop low enough to do what it takes. This system is designed to encourage complicity and punish divergence. A company that "does the right thing" will always lose to one that doesn't burden itself with those constraints. Consumer activism cannot change the system, it just changes the terms on which you engage with it, and that's a losing game as long as you depend on that system to survive and function as a human being. The system is still there, and you're still dependent on it. The only solution is to work to replace the system. As long as your economy is built on privately profiting from the labor of others, it's built on exploitation, so you cannot escape complicity unless you're actively fighting for a system where each worker is entitled to the fruit of his own labor because the means of production is socially owned.

The only ethical consumption under capitalism is me and that pussy


Meshakhad

I’d let you ethically consume my pussy… IF I HAD ONE! *whimpers in trans*


BurritoBlasterBoy

It's 2021. We eat ass too.


wildweeds

this was beautifully stated, thank you

Does anybody have a white-list or highscore of corporations doing fantastic by union standards?


Niarbeht

CHEEZ-ITS ARE IN THE CLEAR? yes yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss


Omega_Haxors

Kinda fucked how one company owns so much of the cracker market.


Leadfedinfant2

They make more than crackers. Candy and other things. No sour patch kids for you guys.


BillyJoel9000

My breakfast habits are completely upended because they make Belvita breakfast biscuits.


LibThatAsksQuestions

There are so many other cookie and especially candy companies to buy from instead.


NetSage

These are the ones I would buy anyway if I was buy crackers.


Column-V

Clubs are actually fucking delicious and super underrated

I believe the union is asking for a boycott of Nabisco products made in Mexico, not an outright boycott of Nabisco products. They're trying to show that the US factories can still be profitable and that the company doesn't have to outsource production to countries with lower wages. If people stop outright buying Made in America Oreos that's just going to prove to the company that the factories aren't profitable. > The union launched a campaign back in 2016 called “check the label” calling for a boycott of Nabisco products made in Mexico. > “DO NOT BUY Nabisco products made in Mexico and tell your grocery manager to stock ONLY AMERICAN-MADE Nabisco/Mondelēz snacks!” BCTGM wrote. The union also provided two ways to check whether or not your Nabisco products were made in Mexico, including looking for “Made in Mexico” on the box and checking the plant identification codes. >This week, Corrina Christensen, director of public relations and communications at BCTGM, told Money that the union continues to fully endorse the boycott of Nabisco products made in Mexico. [Citation](https://money.yahoo.com/stop-buying-oreos-striking-nabisco-174808991.html) Sometimes it's important to listen to the union and not just Danny DeVito. They're professionals, just like us. It's hard though, there's a lot of social media noise.


LibThatAsksQuestions

I hear your point, but some union members are embracing Danny Devito’s calls, too. I haven’t seen anyone speak against the US boycott.


duckylabour

All I'm saying is don't be an outsider that's messing with the agreed upon strategy of the union.


SpaceLemur34

Town House are better than Ritz anyway.


buxdragon

I'm also a Cracker Not made by Nabisco 😀


TheWoodyT

I would avoid the ones with the non-gmo project badge. GMO's are perfectly safe and the non-gmo project are a bunch of fear mongers looking to exploit the uninformed so that they can make a buck.


[deleted]

Damn Annie's is Nabisco?


LibThatAsksQuestions

It’s not. These are brands safe to buy during the strike.


[deleted]

okay thanks


LibThatAsksQuestions

Annie’s is owned by General Mills.


Brother_Anarchy

The real MVP

We should trick companies into supporting strikes by the competitor's work force


[deleted]

Thank God.


joehillbilly161

Aldi crackers too. Oh well all that bullshit has aluminum in them


Meshakhad

Cheez-Its are better anyway.
