CBC:
McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are the latest multinational companies to announce they’re pausing business operations in Russia to protest the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
You may remember Coca-Cola as being the insanely anti-White corporation that was demanding their employees go through “Be Less White” training. Since that predates this site, let me go look that up for you.
Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white” as part of the company’s alleged diversity training — but the material was yanked offline following a viral whistleblower post.
The “Confronting Racism” course in question was offered by LinkedIn Education and allegedly utilized by the soft-drink titan.
“In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,” reads one of the slides.
Another slide suggests “try to be less white” with tips including “be less oppressive,” “listen,” “believe” and “break with white solidarity.”

The people who run Coca Cola are anti-White pieces of garbage. They also support a boycott of Russia after their invasion of Ukraine. And those two things are related.
On Tuesday, McDonald’s announced in a statement that it will temporarily close its more than 800 restaurants and pause all operations in Russia. The U.S.-based chain said it will continue to pay salaries of the 62,000 Russian employees who will be affected by the closure.
Either McDonalds is lying, or they have so much excess profit that they can pay the salaries of 62,000 extra employees after shutting down their jobs. Let’s do some basic math, and assume they’re all making $10/hr, at 40 hrs/week, or $400/head-week. That comes out to $24.8 million per week that McDonalds is losing. That works out to $1.2896B per year.
So it’s nice to know that McDonalds just had an extra billion lying around that they could have just used to pay people more. But they were saving it up to do a boycott of Israel because they murdered all those Palestinian Children.
Just kidding, they support that.
PepsiCo, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola join more than 200 companies that have curtailed their Russian operations, according to a report by Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a management professor at Yale University.
Those companies include Ikea, Apple, H&M, Canada Goose, Visa and Mastercard.
Weird. It’s almost like the exact same corporations that oppress us here domestically are pushing NATO narratives abroad. My god, it’s like there’s this Corporate-State complex or something.
Personally I hope that Putin nationalizes all these corporations and steals their property. Might not be feasible for Visa and Mastercard, but McDonalds has billions in property value in Russia. Methinks that needs to be liquidated.
