And his direct example, Reason, is Swedish!

That's what prompted the rest of the research, doesn't need to be American the point stands.

So you will continue to buy Swedish?

Yes. Is that hypocrisy? No, because I'm not advocating for any extreme form of consuming veganism. I'm advocating for a message.

If the message is strong and clear that companies can't employ anti-consumer practices without consequences, then maybe other companies like Reason that operates outside the US will think twice before doing it, even if the laws under which they operate would allow them to.

Why target American products then? It's not accidental. US is by far the largest market and as such has the responsibility to set an example. If we change the example being set that will likely ripple to other markets.

The single least logical statement I have ever seen on this forum.

> Is that hypocrisy? No

It's not hypocrisy, it's illogical, and even immoral. You saw something being done by group A and decided you want to punish group B for it.

My arguments are in my post. I've described exactly the type of behavior from the american market that enables this happening there and sets an example for the rest of the world. It's not punish group B for something done by group A, is punishing group B for leading group A with a terrible example. What's illogical and immoral is to antagonize the very people that consumes your product.

So the poor innocent Swedes would have acted completely honourably without the US as an example.

Utter nonsense.
