This thread is to highlight various companies, people, and organizations that are "canceling" Russia. You can also share news of Russia reacting with counter-cancelations (particularly on Western social media sites). For discussion of deeper economic issues, use this thread.

Airbnb, Booking join Western corporate shutdowns in Russia

Home rental firm Airbnb Inc and online travel agency Booking Holdings Inc became the latest big global companies to suspend operations in Russia as Western sanctions build against Moscow for invading Ukraine.

It's interesting that many companies that are canceling Russia have already canceled some of us (e.g. Airbnb). If these companies are ready to disrupt the lives of millions of people who have done nothing wrong but live in a country that is at war, I wonder what they will do when they find out about our own personal beliefs.

Edit: It occurred to me that while economic sanctions have real effects.... what is the purpose of some of these cos doing this? Does Russia give a single babushka that CNN goes dark on them?

Obviously its virtue signalling..... Else why bother announce it?...Thats a given

But it occurred to me that its more than that. I surmise that in the distorted Left's paradigm where being called a racist, nazi, anti-semite, climate denier, fascist, etc...words matter. Words are weapons In their effed up world-view words are weapons and being cancelled is real and causes tangible pain.

I think the C level decision makers do this so their herd of sheeple think they are actually hurting "Russia's" feelings

Putin had probably wanted for a long time to oust all these corrupt, sinful Western media or apps.

He wanted to kick out all the whole woke bunch of YouTube Twitter Facebook Airbnb Netflix Disney, in order to protect the Russian people from the disgusting LGBT and anti-Christian contents these companies push onto the viewers.

But Putin knew that the users of these apps were like drug addicts and so they would be upset at him if he were to initiate the war on the woke gay apps.

So, what happened is, these apps declared the war first on Russia, removing themselves from the Russian society. It's great. It's like you have a monstrous, powerful enemy, actually a totally evil enemy, in your country, and you convince this enemy of leaving in a fit of fury. Great move.

The GloboHomos, vexed, furious, have just removed their most dangerous weapons of mind corruption from Russia. If they had thought with a cool head, they would have stayed in Russia and even doubled their offer of content within Russia.

The far larger short-term "cancellation" is of course the removal of Russian banks from the SWIFT system.

I don't know what it takes to recreate such a system, obviously the Russians also are busy doing quite a lot at the moment. Short term pain for Russians for sure.

Airbnb has gone a step further. It dropped service fees to $0 within Ukraine; users are now booking nights at airbnb's in Ukraine and then(obviously) not showing up as a way to transfer money directly to Ukrainians. They then promote their deeds on social media. I'm sure the cash still matters to some hosts over there, but if you are in a city like Kharkiv right now, do you really care about money compared to shelter, food, guns, ammunition, gasoline, etc? Perhaps they are still trading with currency. I'm curious.

Well either these companies leaving(most of them forced to since they can’t operate in Russia due to not being able to pay or collect) is a devastating economic catastrophy which with will impoverish 1-2 generations of Russians resulting in a massive brain drain. Or, Putin is playing 8D chess and this is ultimately good for Russia.

Right now i am looking at the first outcome being more realistic and their may have been a miscalculation from Putin or he is listening to the wrong people. Time will tell.

Indeed. In 48 hours, Vladimir Putin has killed consumerism in Russia.

For the most evil things from the West (Facebook, Twitter, Woke-Disney, Netflix, pro Football, and the costly luxury brands of hipster clothes...) have vanished from Russia, as if they had been but a nightmare.

The new Russian generation shall grow happy and healthy, free of stupid apps and useless hipster brands. Free of Hollywood movies promoting gay "values", free of Instagram attention seeking... We are indeed witnessing the birth of a brand new world.

Actually it's such a success that Putin could soon call it a day.

He just has to finish the cleaning of nazis in Mariupol, and consolidate Kharkov, and he'll have recreated NovoRossiya and landlocked Ukraine. Then he can remove his decoy Convoy near Kiev and go back home, a home suddenly free of Western degeneracy.

I certainly hope that Russian eyeballs are meeting each other, not a screen. I wonder, if this sort of cancellation was hitting the American people, how would that play out? I know I, myself, certainly use screens way too much for my own good. But I think of the younger generations who can't even put their phone away when they're at a dinner table.

Screens have certainly... reduced face-to-face contact that is essential to building a strong, conservative (traditional) society.

Thanks for this. I've been trying to work out some logical outcome for the current conflict that doesn't most likely end in WW3, and this is the best I've heard. It doesn't seem especially likely to me, but what do I know, I didn't think any of this would happen. Let's hope you're right.

My only question is how long will Russian people stand north Korea level of isolation. I don’t have high hopes. Like people anywhere, they’re also attached to worldly things and luxuries. people all around the world voluntarily wore chin diapers and got vaccinated with experimental vaccine so they can continue to dine in restaurants and go to cinemas. Imagine if you told them no porn, videogames, internet, useless junk from Amazon ecc.. there would be a nation wide BLM style riot in two days. I’m actually surprised people in Russia are not yet rioting en masse, but I suspect they will when the reality of sanctions sinks in. They will fight to be enslaved by globohomo without realising that’s what they’re doing.

Russia has experience with being under severe sanctions from Soviet times, so it is not impossible they could pull it off again. They also won't be anywhere near North Korea level isolated.

I think it's a suicidal mission for Europe.

What happened in the last 40 years is that the essentials have been commoditized. E.g. Steel, Oil, Gas, Wheat, Corn, they operate in a global free market economy which are more or less unprotected by monopolies. (yes, I know OPEC) This brought the prices down on essentials. So we see over time that the core essentials of life become more or less unprofitable.

On the other hand, we see the biggest companies in market cap don't do essentials. Look at this graph on largest stocks. They are essentially state protected by IP-laws, economies of scale and the only ones able to negotiate with state-bureaucracy.

Profitability is function of state policy, not value for the people.

This is the export of Russia in 2019. What would happen if Russia break the global commodity trade? What is Nvidia without Nickel, Steel and Energy? What we see here is that Russia is fed up with playing along the Jewish intellectual property system.

As we have seen in the last year, the commodity trade is very fragile, less lithium? Less batteries.

I think we are in a process of decommoditisation. Russia with their economy has been totally dependent on the global commodity trade. And if the keep playing to the jewish game they keep holding to the low prices.

And they have a bargaining position, as Europe is very dependent on their essentials / commodities.

I think we come to a phase where commodities are turning out to be not just commodities but essentials. And we see a economic power shift from internet companies to those in farming, steel, oil.

The metaverse is not that strong, if we don't have a house, don't have to eat, cant power the computer, dont have the commodities for making a video card.

Russia has been pummeled with decreasing commodity prices in the last 20 years. They can take a much bigger role. Looking at the economics the world needs Russia, Russia is now making more money due to the war, than they did before. (due to rising gas and commodity prices)
