If you like real information, not fairy tales, you can check by searching for mentions of such information. I warn you right away - you will not find anything similar from this "info-brosa"

. This is just either someone's inept joke, or someone just wants to amuse himself with the "news" that he likes. The reality is quite the opposite, which is to be expected

That's the good thing about life, the truth can be verified and confirmed, but lies can't be proven

if it's covered by mass media, it's got to have some grain of truth to it. but it's a wonder why it's only happening in Asian countries, are other parts of the world not mad about the killing in Gaza?

there is nothing that can be done though, just to joke about it. but if the Muslim community continues to do this and people support that Boycott group, the McDonaals will continue to lose money as well. and facebook will hunt individually the people who support this boycott group.

There is such a word - PRAGANDA, and corrupt journalists. They can write anything that is stolen. For example, Russian and pro-Russian media reported a terrorist attack on Ukraine as an “internal conflict in Ukraine.” Then it is true that Putin himself, an international criminal, openly declared, when he saw the passivity of the West, and some success, that this was a pre-planned operation to occupy foreign territory.

If we return to the topic of the topic, then this information does not even reach the level of lesser quality propaganda. Popularly, articles of such “quality” are called “throwing crap at the fan”

It is created exclusively for “neuromasturbation” - they say, “that’s how powerful we are, that even the pathetic McDonald’s was brought to its knees, that it is forced to do such wild things “You see how inadequate the West is!”

Sometimes it isn’t even about the money, it about showing that you have power.

This is a very good point you raised here. They're not used to not getting their way which is why they are trying to show some form of reaction and at the very least appear to have all the power!

I think it's oversimplifying or perhaps even misinterpreting the legal case. The case filed wasn't against "people who have been refusing to buy its products"; it's against a group that was supposed to spread "false and defamatory statements" in public against the fast-food chain.

Yes and no! You can't sue regular people, obviously. So they have to find a representative to sue, a group or an organization, in other words something centralized or a door that they can kick down.
In this sense this is like Bitcoin, they can't ban Bitcoin or they can't prevent regular users from using it but they can kick down the door of anything centralized like CEX or even mining pools and exert their power there.
But the nature of the act is the same, it is "banning Bitcoin" or it is "suing the people who refuse to consume their products".

So, McDonald's isn't forcing anybody to buy its products. It's perfectly all right not to eat at McDonald's, but it certainly isn't all right for anybody to publicly spread false rumors and baseless insinuations against McDonald's, and any business establishment for that matter.

Just can't stop laughing as whom will they be suing? It's like you are forcing people to buy your product to fund the massacre and commit genocide but when public refuses to buy your product you wanna sue them? How on earth did they even arrived at this conclusion that it would help them gain back the customers? BDS is working and I think this is the power of humanity wherein people from different religions and races coming together and boycotting the supporter of oppressor.

Apart from the first reason when there is a boycott that makes them struggle at the moment but indeed suing consumers is really the worst way to increase their sales I guess Cheesy

I don't want to get into what happened about the war issue that started the current boycott but McDonald's reasoning for suing is ridiculous and won't have any impact because at the end of the day will they try to prosecute people in all countries because it's not just 1 or 2 countries that are doing it but a lot of countries are doing the same thing and it's not the control of the government or McDonald's either because it's a unified movement of ordinary people for reasons that we already know without mentioning.
If that's the case I guess I should also be prepared to face charges even though I can't do anything lol.

I just read this news and I can't stop laughing.
McDonald's is said to be planning to sue people who have been refusing to buy its products over the past months leading to their $1.3 million loss. This is due to a boycott movement where people in a lot of countries are sanctioning this company because of its support of the Zionist regime that is occupying Palestine and is committing genocide there.

Imagine if some day you are out and about, suddenly someone wearing a chicken suit puts a gun to your head forcing you to buy their fast food or they'll shoot you Cheesy

Ref: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2023/12/359864/mcdonalds-malaysia-sues-pro-palestine-activists-over-boycott

They aren't suing people who refuse to buy their product, they are suing the organization that does anti-advertisement of McDonalds. Since BDS Malaysia is doing that, a counterattack is expected from McDonalds because it's a business and they lose money.
To be fair, people shouldn't be eating McDonalds, it's very bad for their health because their junk food significantly increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and obesity. If we were living in a good world, McDonalds and other types of fast food would be banned because they do more harm than good.

I got confused because reading the news, it doesn’t say that the issues is between McDonalds and its customers but with the BDS Malaysian movement. And I read someone saying that they have a lot of money and shouldn’t be suing, but it’s business. Sometimes it isn’t even about the money, it about showing that you have power. From what I understand, BDS is denying the allegation already.

Regarding the dangers of eating their food, I think the problem is that people consume too much of it. There’s nothing that won’t be dangerous if consumed in excess. Instead of banning such food, they can maybe place a limit, the government.

Am sure that it is only those who have money or look rich that they may try to coerce into buying a product that isn't needed at the moment, because pointing a gun to a street beggar or urchin would simply just save them the pain of living they are already faced with.

Still, this story is bizarre and it is all the more reason why many businesses and leaders choose to stay silent or pretend not to notice such happenings as concerns the Zionist war even though it may affect them indirectly.

This is hilarious, no doubt about that. I believe a lot of companies will follow them in this movement because there are a lot of them who have shown support to Israel instead of condemning the genocide and people from all over the world are boycotting thousands of products from hundreds of different companies and brands. However, they can't do anything other than to make a joke out of themselves by doing this and making people realize that their efforts are not going wasted and they are affected by this.

These companies didn't know what could happen to them and they didn't know there was going to be such a thing happening. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure they would have a neutral stance over the situation which wouldn't affect them financially. Well, what can be said, it is what it is. They can't do anything now, even promos and discounts won't be able to revive the trust of the customers very soon.

Your brain has been washed so many times that it is very concerning how you think these days! Cheesy

If you wanted to think $1.3 million lost revenues is "defeating" a $200 billion company, that's your choice but don't stick it to me Cheesy

What events like this are doing is discouraging such companies from openly and largely supporting terrorist organizations such as Israel. They'll be forced to decrease their support, some even stop it or take it underground and through proxies that would make it harder to get the funds to the terrorists and increases the cost significantly which all translates into less bombs to murder women and children.
Of course Zionists don't think that is a "victory" so I understand how you feel. Wink

Do you have any arguments in favor of the statement about “brainwashing”, other than your painful fantasies, with which you are trying to somehow justify your obviously false stuff?

Understand - by throwing in a LIE and trying to justify it, you look like a completely brainwashed person, because... an outright lie that contradicts logic, this is an instrument of propaganda, for people with a not very high level of development

Regarding Israel as a terrorist - please give a description of what terrorism means? Let's discuss this too, let's see what happens with "brainwashing" Grin

I always asked myself the question: Why do people, knowing that fast food is harmful to health, continue to buy it? And now this “killer” and assistant to obesity complains that people refuse to kill themselves.
Take away the politics and just think that the plan to reduce humanity works in the form of trans fats, and then visit pharmacies to buy “medicines” that are systematically created so that you and I will become stupid consumers of fast food with an inability to understand the idea of turning people into pigs who eat everything, including GMOs.

Funny but this loss is a serious hit on them. Now, this is a lesson for most of the companies and businesses that there is power with the people when we are all united.

Before, it was like that they are asking and pleasing people to work for them. This time, it is all about boycotting and they cannot do anything with the voice of the people.

I guess that soon they are going to make efforts for getting their customers trust back through various promos and discounts.

And that wont really be an easy thing specially once that trust and confidence had been affected or simply being that destroyed then getting it back to original wouldnt really be that too easy.
This is why it would really be that not shocking that it would really be a huge loss to them. I cant really just that make myself believe about the suing part. I did really just told to myself while reading.
Wait? What? Totally true when it comes that if people would be making out their voice and having that unity and ending up on boycotting a certain product or company or whatsoever
then there's nothing they can do.. As a business, if there's no one would really be able to buy up those foods and services then you would really be fucked up.

Wondering on how they would really be starting up but well its their problem to take. It is really just that stressful if you are the ones who had been bothered
into their situation. lol

This is my screenshot... from one of the Twitter X social media users who shared a post regarding Joy Biden's response to the ongoing call for a boycott...
It could be that this is what makes them not return to buying the products they have boycotted. They were quite hurt by these words... because these words were truly cruel and inhumane...

It is true that if you look at previous events... this call for a boycott did not have a serious impact on pro-Israel companies, because in the end they returned to buying and using the products they boycotted... but the call for a boycott this time is truly extraordinary . where, several countries and organizations defending Palestinian independence united to join in boycotting pro-Israel products. So the impact it gives is not even a joke.... Products that are pro-Israel suffer quite significant losses.

And now I'm just laughing out loud... that those who have always been arrogant... now have to keep barking at the market to get them to buy their products, to the point of filing a lawsuit.

They are not "suing people because people are not buying their products", that is a false statement and that is what they are suing people over as well, that's the difference. You can just go ahead and not buy from them, that is nothing wrong and you are free to do that, it's the defamation that they are suing against, saying that they are supporting Israel when Malaysian McDonalds may not (which is what they claim) is the problem.

Not buying a burger from them is fine and they can't sue you for that obviously, you know this, OP is very well aware, but saying "you are supporting Israel" when they are not, is a lie, and a company could definitely sue someone for lying, and this lie made them lose 1.3 million, so of course they would take action against a lie that made them lose money. There is nothing wrong with that, it should be done, if any group of people end up lying about anything, the organizations or companies who is lied about, could open defamation case against them.

The news about the Genocide in Gaza is heavily censored outside Asia so it is understandable to not see as much anger toward the terrorists that are killing Palestinians these days in the West. Although I have to see the number of protests in US and Europe against Israel is increasing very fast.

He understands what's going on. There is some truth in TRUE information. But fakes and propaganda have a completely different purpose. In this case, this is an ordinary stuffing, to create the appearance of “victory over McDonald’s and their idiotic capitalist grin.” He will remember - “the more monstrous the lie, the more willingly they will believe it” (c) Hitler, whose empire was built on lies and propaganda. So it is in this case. It’s just that you are now trying to turn a fake into “reality”, because this “news” appeals to you, although you understand that this is absolutely stupid, in fact, information material.

Had no idea about this. To be fair, McDonald's Malaysia is suing the BDS Malaysia movement due to financial losses and job cuts which is why it makes sense as to why they are doing this.

Suing people over unsold products would inflict so much damage on their business. I had literally no idea on this, it is my first time seeing a company suing people who are boycotting their product which is part of their customer rights lol. It doesn't make sense at all, if their products or services are being left unsold, then they should know now that something is wrong with their company. People united are indeed more powerful than a company.

This is really funny. How is that possible lol! It is the consumer's choice whether to buy a product or not. Is it possible or who will forcefully buy their company's stuff. Pro-Palestinians will certainly not buy products that help kill Palestinians. Now I'm afraid to go out on my street in case the McDonald's guys come and hold a gun to my head and ask me to buy their stuff lol. I didn't expect such funny behavior from such a reputed company. It's really funny.
