Fucktards...

Drink up

From Sailing Anarchy

Pretending that Bacardi isn’t a company that continues to do business in Russia, profiteering, unabated, and uncaring about that country’s brutal and savage unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the promotors of the Bacardi Cup are counting on you sailors to not give a flying fuck. And they are right, you don’t give a fuck.

I mean after all, why worry about schools and hospitals being purposely bombed by Russia when there is rum to drink, right?

“Come on man, this is sailing, not politics” is a refrain we hear all the time when we dare to post something that doesn’t neatly fit into whatever preordained idea of what a sailing site is “supposed to be”.  And invariably it comes from the right-wingers. The thin-skinned, now pro-Putin party komrades lose their shit with the slightest poke.

And there is little doubt the sailing community by and large doesn’t care when it comes to serious global issues, but here, in this case, you can make your voice heard, make a statement, get involved.

But you won’t. Because you don’t care enough to do anything at all.
