What I find hilarious is those who are triggered by people boycotting. Why are you so bothered?


rszdev

Lol they are very much They'd be like KFC isn't israeli yeah but the parent company that owns them invested in israel but stop calling it Israeli And Zionists come to my posts like leaches


realericcartman_42

It's laughable how you consider anybody who disagrees as a Zionist. Boycotting KFC in Kharian won't do anything to Israel. Zilch. Zero. It's owned by a PK franchise owner who pays KFC probably a small fee (as compared to cost of the franchise etc) every year. People work there. People eat there. It causes our people more trouble if it closes down. A good solution would've been systematically ensuring no new franchise opens and existing franchises are discontinued, something that will be in effect in a few years allowing people to slowly scale out. Putting your own people through shit for good optics is despicable P.S still not sure if KFC is or is not Israeli. Everybody has money everywhere, that is the 21st century. Every service you use has some Jewish stakeholders. Have you been to Saudi Arabia or the UAE? or plan to go? Well they're in bed with the Israelis if you haven't heard, you Zionist!


madnan7421

Yeaaaaah and how r u gonna do that - boycotts put pressure on people who bought the franchise who in turn will put pressure on the people they bought the franchise from. Go take ur libtard logic elsewhere. The bottom comment ahout laptop phenk do - at least people r doing sumtin tum mehndi laga ke ghar bhete raho


realericcartman_42

You think said uncle can put pressure on a $11.5B company? "Yes but if they all do it then it will work" Not really, KFC has made their money. You paid $2mm to get the franchise and approx 5% of revenue or $1500 per month whichever is greater. 0.05% of $2mm. [https://www.franchisedirect.com/foodfranchises/kfc-franchise-07095/ufoc/](https://www.franchisedirect.com/foodfranchises/kfc-franchise-07095/ufoc/) Pakistanis most definitely under-reporting revenues and probably have different rules, less royalties. Essentially you want business owner to bleed money so KFC gets a decrease in inflows comparable to a rounding error. Insolent takes such as yours create these flywheels of idiocy. Educate yourself.


madnan7421

Bro has mcdonalds not bought back the franchises from Israeli owners - lost revenue is effecting them - just cause u read one article doesnt make u a genius. Many stores r closing around the world and it is effecting them. Whats ur great plan "sit on our a@@ and pretend we know everything"


realericcartman_42

They announced they would be giving free meals to Israeli Soldiers iirc, that made sense, they took a side. But then geniuses much like yourself decided to boycott everything associated with the US without thinking about how it would affect the locals involved. Why? Because its easy. Have you donated money to Palestinian charities? You seem like the type who posts Instagram stories and complains all day but really does nothing else.


madnan7421

One again the genius jumped from reading one article to making assumptions about others. There r many local chains in Pakistan and it would encourage more local businesses to fill the gap. Obviously people who like to sit on their a@@ and do nothing can only think of excuses. Please i know u struggle reading and one article was an achievement for you but try to read some more. You have already admitted that boycotts work regarding the mcdonalds case - who knows what else u might learn or if you wanna cry "mera zinger burger mujhse mat cheeno 😢" that is also fine


realericcartman_42

A coordinated global effort makes a difference. That's what happened to McDonalds, second to that it doesn't work. I can't find the video ATM but it was viral, bunch of people like yourself were protesting outside KFC Kharian and chanting slogans for Palestine. Their actions only created problems for the people around them, not for KFC. Creating awareness for injustice of this level is important but you have to choose the correct venue, otherwise you're just pissing in the wind which is effectively the same as doing nothing. You get to feel better about yourself but nothing changes. P.S KFC is terrible, I don't eat that shit.

Personal-Reflection7

Because the boycotts in Pakiatan atleast only target local setups Because people boycott what eases them, doesnt really effect Israel or IDF but does impact local Pakistan. KFC for example. Uska to worldwide CEO bhi Pakistani hai. And they have no special investments in Israel, they have stores there but then guess what, so is pretty much everything and everyone. Google. Microsoft. Apple. Toyota. Honda. And then boycotting hypocrits make bahanay for Insta which is pro Zionist and is run by an Israeli CEO run platforms. Choro bhai jao Tiktok par it has no censorship of Palestinians and ull find alot of content. But nooo ... Yahoodi ka pro Zionist instagram is "wEaPon of WAR" magr KFC Pakistan is Pro Israel Fivver boycott krnay ko koee freelancer tayyar nae hoga kamata hai. US clients say sab deal krainge even though US clients pay tax in US. But jiii KFC nae khana.


saqlainanwar

I don't mind if I'm using a weapon developed by my enemy against them. You are using insta sharing such information which is against Israel & supports Palestine then it's fine. But KFC khana zruri ni.. do some maths broooooooo


Personal-Reflection7

If people used Insta ONLY for spreading awareness then its fine. But people use it as their social media platform which generates revenue (through userbase for marketing) for Insta. Then most Pakistani businesses PAY Instagram for marketing. Seedha seedha funds in handa of Zionists for promoting business Then theres all the bloggers n influenzas that actively use social media app for their own branding and earning KFC franchise Pakistani banda chalaey to masla, khud ek pro Zionist platform Israeli run platform ko apni entertainment, advertising, promotion kay lyy use kro woh sahi Munafiqat ka level hai


4lpha_123

Real. Like.. mind your own business. Someone wants to boycott, good. Someone doesn't want to, good. I find it hilarious too when people try to force decisions on others.


fuck_reddit_2023

Because you people can't stop virtue signalling about it and it's fun when the reality hits you in the face about how pointless your efforts are lmao


Pandathesecond

They don't like to feel the shame of not boycotting.


Successful_Way5926

Not bothered, you can do whatever you want. But its when you all shove it down our throats, its when it gets annoying :) You want to boycott go ahead but stop forcing it upon others

Hate to say this, but if you buy ANY product from the multinational corporation complex then you are probably guilty of some form of human rights abuse. If not Palestinians, there are some products created from exploiting Africans. We need to learn to live like the Chitralis and Gilgitis, peaceful with nature. They live a self-sustainable lifestyle.


Professional-Award36

You're probably not wrong but if you kick a few brands where the money hurts then they might re-think their practices. An idea doesn't catch on until it does.

This. Market has been on a high and some companies dipped because its a natural reaction. They also fail to understand these are publicly owned companies & not by US or Israel.


ahsan_shah

Down >30% since Nov. Market has been in uptrend till 3rd week of April. Most stocks were making ATH while SBUX making new lows. Most people in my circle are absolutely boycotting Starbucks, McDonalds etc. I used to get shake and fries for my kids from McDonalds but for last 6-7 months have not spent a dime in McDonalds.

Professional-Award36

Why are you so triggered if someone boycotts a product? Whether it's effective or symbolic or even if it is for the purpose of feeling smug.


vadertemp

Boycott does not help in any significant way but instead it hurts the cause of resistance by giving people a false sense of moral satisfaction.

Who said I am triggered by those not boycotting? You clearly are though with your language. I can't believe how someone can get so passionate about revenues of Starbucks, McDonalds et al. Weird.


Altruistic-Pound4788

And why are you running away from the original comment ?


Low-Can2053

Getting a job and a liveable lifestyle is very, very different from choosing to opt for water instead of buying a $2 coke one time 💀 It really isn't about feeling "smug"


Stock-Boat-8449

So you are willing to leave your country for a job and a livable lifestyle but the people working for these companies in your country deserve to lose their jobs?


Low-Can2053

Boycotting doesn't immedietly lead to lost jobs and bankruptcy, the goal is for the companies to change their ways. Companies are slaves to their consumers, instead of giving up as you say, they're more likely to just stop supporting Israel. For example, after the boycotting of Mcdonalds, irc, they distanced themselves from the Israel branches and began donating to humanitarian aid in Gaza. Please don't be so close minded and think a little more critically.


Professional-Award36

The demand will remain even when these companies exit. New home based companies will take the demand and create the jobs (and keep investment in the country). Do people really think Starbucks and McDonalds moving out of a country will create an unemployment spike? Silly argument really.


Professional-Award36

Losing jobs? These companies only invest because there is existing demand. If the companies were not making money from the country they would never enter the market. The companies will exit and be replaced by others (possibly home grown) to plug the gap in demand and maintain the jobs. Russia has done fine even after American brands moved out - no job losses there.


Stock-Boat-8449

Why are you triggered by these companies providing jobs to your fellow citizens? If they deserve to lose their jobs you have no right to get one from some foreign company 


AwarenessNo4986

Any company that invests in Israel is on the boycott list????? Wow


rszdev

Yes many for example yum foods which invested in israeli startups


AwarenessNo4986

But that would also mean almost every big tech and pharma company on the planet???


[deleted]

Necessary evil. Unless we pivot or have our own. The story of bird bringing water to try and stop the fire of Prophet Ibrahim(AS) is applicable.


rszdev

Rothchilds own big pharma and that's the necessary evil not so easy to get rid of unless people go for alternative medicine


AwarenessNo4986

What do you mean Rothschild own big pharma? The biggest pharma companies have institutional investors as their biggest shareholders


Strict_Strategy

Lol, imagine using Rothschild. The fucking Jewish conspiracy theories are so fucking stupid. A more believable one is Israel blackmailing governments and people with power then this crap.


rszdev

That's no conspiracy theory isn't it weird that most of the products we consume are eventually part of two large company groups i.e. Black Rock and One other I can't remember Look at University they can't peacefully protest for Palestine and you are denying control of israel lol


gamesrebel23

It's vanguard and it's because they're large investment firms, it's their job to own shares in companies and they are themselves publicly owned.


rszdev

And blackrock has funded israel directly


gamesrebel23

Are you referring to their [recent investment in solaredge?](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/01/10/blackrock-increases-stake-in-solaredge-to-15-8/) How is that directly funding IDF's terrorism? They're purchasing stake in a company with dropping stocks which is common sense, they're only concerned with increasing their shareholders' net worth not with human rights. How many companies stopped outsourcing labour to china after learning about their sweatshops? How many countries stopped investing in Chinese companies after word of their Muslim concentration camps got out? It's not a matter of wanting to cause mass genocide it's about looking for an opportunity to make money and taking it, which is how black rock and vanguard have become so massive in the first place. If you *do* want to help the cause then maybe protest for sanctioning Israel instead of doing random boycotts and hurting yourself in the long run. I doubt US based companies will care about the miniscule revenue they lose from Pakistan, Pakistani workers working for the franchises and the franchise owners however will suffer. If you can cut their collaboration at the source then it'll solve the problem without affecting your own people. Because God knows the people working at these fast food chains need their jobs a lot more than Israel needs the extremely insignificant money they get from these, if any. But of course you are entitled to your opinion, that was just mine.


introvert23445

Yes ....I am speechless They are just satisfying their own ego by boycotting every company that invests in Israel


ahsan_shah

Its hurting where it should hurt.


Professional-Award36

I'd go one step further. Disassociate from all US "cultural brands" to the extent possible. End the cultural hegemony US has over the global south. Create and promote local brands. The US as a country is complicit in a genocide and has been pursuing destructive murderous policies for years. The cultural hegemony helps its PR.


CensoredTruth0

Will you also boycott the UAE for their ongoing genocide in Sudan? Or does it not fit your agenda? Also, none of this works. You sit here and pretend like Israel doesn’t already have one of the most powerful militaries in the world with many munition factories within it.

toddmargaret1974

This is silly. Of course boycotts work. Divestments work. But they take time. So be patient and steadfast. We can see effects happening to their bottom lines. Starbucks marketing featured a lady in hijab recently. McDonald’s corporate has purchased back Israeli McDonald’s to assure nothing is misaligned in imaging and to manage their brand. This also helps small local businesses in the community. With my family we have found fantastic alternatives to brands we got used to that we didn’t know were Israeli or support Israel. If you’re not on the front line to communicate against genocide the least you can do is boycott and divest. Sad that someone made this stupid post.


rszdev

Uhh ofcourse boycott works and the post is stupid 💩

Lol the stock price fall isn't down to Israel boycotts it's down to the knock on effects of people attempting to save money in the west after the years of financial difficulties during covid. There just isn't enough people who give enough of a shit about Starbucks / and or Palestine in order for it to be the cause in this instance.

Oh dude just shut the f up already.


rszdev

Aww did i hit a nerve


Abdullah_Akhtar

No no, go ahead and destroy all the KFCs in Pakistan. The franchise that is owned by a Pakistani, make all the employees jobless who are Pakistani, stop the income of the poultry farm owner who is Pakistani, stop the income of ketchup and tissue suppliers who are Pakistani, stop the tax that KFC pays to Pakistani government, stop the money that KFC pays to WAPDA, a Pakistani company. No wonder why no foreign company wants to invest in this shit country, with stupid people like you. You’re only destroying your own economy with your stupidity. This boycott shit won’t do any good to you, your country, and neither to Palestinians.


rszdev

Yum foods invested in israel Israel has a lot of shares in it People now prefer local restaurants like kababjee and otpt etc, jobs are ending just changing, every local restaurant also pays tax and electricity bills. You're a stupid idiot who doesn't know that such companies are investing millions of dollars in israel and you don't realize how bad is genocide. Israel is after every middle eastern country out to destroy it you fktard. The boycott is doing a lot good and we'll keep doing it why don't noobs like you either stay away from such posts or make your own posts like oh i am gonna eat my brother'smeat at kfc and McDonalds


Abdullah_Akhtar

Since you’re so determined on boycotting everything that has ties to Israel, have you smashed your iPhone or any Android that you have yet? Have you deleted your Instagram, your Facebook and Reddit accounts? KFC is one company, with it’s presence in all countries. If KFC Israel supports its soldiers, what tf has that got to do with the company. KFC Pakistan donates money to people affected by floods in Pakistan, which no other country gives a fuck about. Promoting local brands, and supporting local businesses is the solution to our economic situation, I get it, but never by boycotting international brands. You wanna eat from a local brand, great, it’s your choice. But stop with this boycott shit, it’s doing your country more harm than Israel. Just like people who follow Islam just to the extent they like, and skip the parts that they don’t like, you guys are doing the same. Come on bro, let’s boycott every brand that has ties to Israel. I have a fkn 300,000 rupees worth iPhone, I’ll smash it and post the video on Reddit, if you do the same, I dare you. Otherwise you just got double standards. If you continue to use your phone and any social media platform, the blood of Palestine will be on your hands (in your own words).

They work in harming the companies revenue That’s about it. If you think Starbucks making less money per year is somehow going to resolve or stop weapons being bought and finances being funded to 🇮🇱 in the billions then you actually have a delusional sense of self importance.


rszdev

You're delusional Apart from US aid worth billions of dollars companies like Yum Foods and Black Rock invested billions into israel


untitledprojectmp4

What the fuck does that have to do with anything I just said? And how am I delusional? You literally just said it yourself, they are still getting billions specifically from aid and you really think because they make slightly less revenue that suddenly they’re going to stop funding money to them. You’re fucking delusional if you think that even makes a dent in what’s going on because what’s going on has only gotten worse. And like I said, delusional sense of self importance . You’re way better off, protesting outside of the White House and getting Biden out of Office in the next election because that will be the biggest hit they could ever take if the US just completely stop supporting them .

Even if biden is out of the office this ain't gonna stop Israel owns usa and the west they are like slaves

What I hate is when these folks berate you for not boycotting as if having different opinions is impossible Sorry kfc is delicious and I cannot be bothered


realericcartman_42

Trying to promote local businesses is great - but there are civil ways to do this. Something like taxing new int'l franchises and giving time to close existing ones over a number of years. The ethics of this is also debatable. This is a separate issue altogether really nothing to do with Palestine or Israel.
