This is why I'm not hot on big corporations virtue signalling to us consumers.
It seems that they all have moral, entanglements (to borrow Jada Pinkett's parlance), with China that they cannot seem to reconcile.
But they want to lecture us about important cause du jour?
Please! Spare me the self righteousness.

Coke Cola used to be pretty pro Nazi back in the 1930s. https://www.adbranch.com/coca-cola-ads-in-nazi-germany/ https://www.adbranch.com/coca-cola-ads-in-nazi-germany/ Corporations don't care about anything other than keeping the money coming in. So they will support any cause as long as it seems trendy.

- JesusIsKing 6y agoFair enough on the first one as I was guilty of reading the headlines. > Athletic competition was a Nazi ideal and the Coca-Cola GmbH cashed in heavily on this infatuation by becoming one of the biggest sponsors of sports events, most notably the annual Deutschlandrundfahrt (National Bycicle Championships) and the Soccer Cup. The second is fine.
