Yeah let's base it on an ancient story book with characters with super-powers instead. (oh, that's what Herr Läderach does).

Don't bother, sapienti sat

The irony in what you have written, and of which you are probably blissfully unaware is that "not doing something" is more akin to inactivity which is the opposite to what an activist does.

So not buying chocolate is not really being an activist, is it?

Aw. It won't let me upload my photo.

Never mind, I'm still going to enjoy my bag of broken bits whether Tom1234 can see them or not.

Nom nom!

I thought only little children had a need for Zveri ?

Dunno. It's zveri nice anyway.

Probably the irony comes from the fact that activism and tolerance sound mutually exclusive

I personally tolerate Laderach chocolate, but actively pursue Cadbury.


Folks with more money than the gods always are a lot on the weird side. They've had generations of breeding out common sense and the ability to relate to, well, folk without oodles of cash. Doesn't make it right. Also doesn't mean they're going to change their beliefs or stop making the chocs.

When chocolate goes to your head....

Well done for breaking forum rules.

Ahh, Medea, always providing unintentional comedy value. It's a standard moderating message, there is nothing genuinely private about it and it contains the exact same editing reason that was publicly viewable at the bottom of my post before I edited it.

Irrespective of the fact that the Läderachs are Christian fundamentalists with extreme beliefs, I don't buy Läderach chocolate as it's made with palm oil - which is hardly necessary for a so-called luxury item.
What are they playing at?

Perhaps they ought to use more of that Swiss diary milk instead and keep Swiss farmers in business?

Rapeseed and sunflower oil in these chocolates.

Want me to save you some? You better be quick, cos we're halfway through the pack already...

when it comes to chocolate there's no dilemma at all, while Belgian chocolate is just lightyears ahead of Swiss milk pastilles. as well as bear.

So you people are fighting (people advocating) discrimination by discriminating. That seems rather self-contradictory.

Is there such a thing as just discrimination?
And if so, what's the definiton, what does it look like? When is discrimination justified?

Indeed. When confronted with such things as intolerance, one should show zero tolerance.

As I'm supporting children right to live and am frightened by the hostility of LGBTQ+ advocates towards old school "traditional" way of life (non promiscuous monogamous non-x-times-divorced heterosexual family) I'll gladly indulge for the first time in these overpriced chocolates; it's a pity our local coop doesn't sell any...

I see it like this:

A company is offering a service/product.

Some consumers do no like some aspect of that service/product.

They chose not to buy that product and buy another from another company instead. It's their choice, and their choice alone.

The company can decide to adapt, change its ways or lose customers. It's their choice.

This happens all the time, every minute of every day with consumers of products.

It's what happens in a free market.
