I could tell this was Lidl just from the font on the prices.

If I want to boycott American, buying Lidl and Aldi own brands is an easy way to do this, yes? I'm doing this by default because I have an easily navigatable Lidl that I can walk to.

Make sure it is Aldi Sud not Aldi Nord though

Lidls owner Schwarz is heavily invested in an Israeli "cybersecurity" start-up run by a former Mossad director. As always with Israeli "cybersecurity" that embraces "former" ties to intelligence, you should expect ongoing ties to Israeli and US intelligence agencies.

These are the kind of people that helped get Trump elected.

One thing at a time. Lidl isn't necessarily in question here, it's the boycott intention. We do the same thing boycotting in Israeli products too.

I am American and I am doing all my grocery shopping either at Aldi or from farmer markets now. Fuck Musk, fuck Trump, and fuck the US for falling to fascist oligarchy.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Democracy
