    Coors Family ≠ Molson Coors

    The Coors family are indeed pieces of shit, but they own ~10% of the company. The company is mostly owned by institutional investors. Don’t get facts mixed. Coors family is shit? Fact. Molson Coors was a champion of inclusivity? Also fact. These are not mutually exclusive.

      Personally I can’t abstract the history of it being a fascist beer, just because it merged with a less fascist beer and various grand children sold their shares so they only own a tenth of the company their grandpa was using to fund the modern conservative movement that seeks to dismantle the very inclusivity it was offering to it’s own employees.

      I just can’t square the circle there, maybe they were mitagating some of the damage they were causing by being inclusive, but calling them heroes is a bit rich for me.
