Treason.


Treason.

Nah, the hatred is rational. Your president has threatened to annex my country.
But you’re insisting on keeping this up, so let’s do this. I’m engaging with you on my relatively new piefed account, instead of my lemmy.world account. The sole reason that I have one is that some tankie was beaking off about piefed being crypto-fash, or whatever passes for tankie logic. Now I use the thing that they don’t like, and also promote it. The product is good, but what is most enjoyable is knowing that tankies are annoyed.
Prior to your feeble tone policing attempt, I was fine with simply not purchasing American booze. Now, I am going to work harder at convincing others to do the same. That is a personalized, extra effort that I will put in, to honor your efforts here.
Tell me, what do you think hurts more: You calling me bigoted, or the Jim Beam main distillery closing for 2026?
I’ll try to parse this out in a manner that will help you understand that you’re pissing in the wind here.
You still think I am discussing flavor profiles. understand me when I say that I do not give a flying fuck, as I am talking about the fascism flavor that is now a permanent, never to be forgotten additive to all of your spirits, full stop.
You will not be able to remove that flavor with a good election cycle or two; the rest of the world sees how many of you can’t be bothered to vote, how ineffectual the Democrats have been at preventing his re-election, and how the far right always show up to vote, and the avalanche of money that goes into keeping things that way. In other words, we have no reason to believe that you can punt Trump, and prevent another fascism run after he’s gone.
So I sound angry to you. From a tortured point of view, you could call ignoring a product and keeping my wallet shut “anger”. As for spewing hate, all I can say is that one thing that will not be spewing from my mouth is American spirits, or any other alcohol from the same country.
Hopefully, you’re enlightened as to how fascism makes your spirits unpalatable.
there are no fucking specially aged oak barrels that will fix that.
It only feels like bigotry to you.
What is happening is shunning, and it is happening as a direct consequence of your POTUS.
You may be miffed, but the fact of the matter is that you do not distil a single spirit that the rest of the world requires. Anything distilled in the United States is utterly replaceable by something as good, or better from elsewhere.
You’re going on and on about the quality of what’s distilled on American soil, with no understanding of what actually makes it distasteful.

wiping Palantir off the face of the earth would benefit all of humanity.


Just arrest them on the spot, stuff them into vehicles and whisk them away to secret facilities without due process.


Worst road trip ever.
You make nothing that rivals Scottish single malt.
You would do well to avoid tone policing. concentrate more on domestic sales, to compensate for the international sales that you’re never getting back.

Two things.
Americans don’t produce anything as good as a single malt scotch.
Scotland would never spontaneously shred their international reputation the way America has, so international scotch sales will be safe in perpetuity.


And this is the fucking idiot who thinks he’s smart enough to run the world.
This is barely above pretending you’re an expert on deep sea submersibles.
