A coworker of mine showed me a picture he took of a magazine at our local LCBO. I couldn't believe my eyes. I've sent them a complaint:

This ad (link above) looks a lot like Communist propaganda! (Examples attached)

Especially with the slogans "We're stronger as a collective" and "Ransack The Universe." My tax paying dollars are funding this barbaric garbage?! My grandparents fled Hungary to escape Communism. It has killed so many people. Are you familiar with the Holodomor? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor I find it horribly ironic that a beer company is using Soviet style ads when millions of people died of starvation. I don't want my taxes going towards advertising and selling such filth. I want this beer removed.
The next page describes the artist as a basic commie too. Maybe I'm turning into a Karen but my patience for this shit is running really thin.
I want to make a craft beer that's called "Real Communism" it will be a horrible IPA, almost undrinkable, 8.5% alcohol, 9.99 a tall can.
The ads write themselves, 2 antifa are talking,one pulls out a Real Communism and asks his buddy if hes tried it, then says, "Of course not, no one has" they laugh and russian style music plays.
Have some contests, like the point based ones where people have to buy tons of the products to enter more chances. "Free trip to Moscow!!!" Small print would stipulate that it's a one way ticket.
So... Ransack the Universe by Collective Arts?
Aww god damn it, I dont follow new terrible beers.
I had one once. It was like getting throat-raped by a galaxy hop bush.
That's just a Collective Arts ad.
Ransack the Universe is one their beers. It's the hoppiest shit you've ever tasted, it's awful and it goes for $3.50 a pint at the LCBO, more than $10 in bars.
It's progressive as fuck and routinely makes sure to promote beers entirely made by women as if that makes any difference. You can guess how those taste.
It's the classic nouveau-brewery, they make way too many kinds of beer and while they're sure to jump onto any and all trends they do them very poorly.
The only cool thing about them is their can artwork.
As far as Communism goes they're Toronto Commies, only into the ideals for cool points.
Fucking "craft" breweries these days, I swear to God.
You can be pretty sure anything that calls itself a collective is some commie gobbledeegook.
Reminds me of fascism actually - fascism apparently derives from the idea of a bundle of sticks, which are weak individually but together are strong. Sounds very similar to "We're stronger as a collective".
Both communism and fascism have similar ideological roots - both are collectivist; fascism was historically nationalistic while communism was historically internationalist.
We will rue the loss of individualism once it is gone.
I agree with most of what you say but, as a long time home brewer, who loves to consume copious amounts of my homebrew, I am anything but fat nor have I grown tits. In fact, I am skinny as shit and my tits have grown inward over time if that is possible :-)
That's the decrease in testosterone part
Probably so. I am beyond the half century mark now so have been losing testosterone for at least a couple of decades.
