I agree that vandalizing coffee shops isn’t cool, but the founder is also being kinda douchy, threatening law suits on independent bookshops in Berlin.
When we first moved to Berlin in 2017, I was very confused by all of the teenagers I saw wearing "NASA" branded clothing. I thought at the time, "Wow. Germans really like the American space program?" I later learned that it was just a line of clothing from H & M.
I was equally confused by the Camp David brand, but never knew until now the story behind it.
"Funny how they’re targetting a small local chain rather than actual multinational megacorps like McDonalds and Amazon, also present in the neighbourhood."
I think none of them would hold you back, if you want to start something against megacorps :)
I don't think we can blame activists for not being superheros

Also, I am so tired of everyone’s hot takes on the debate. 😅
Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed, the whole thing is tiresome.
Hey, thanks for the All About Berlin mention!
Have you guys given up on the podcast? It was rapidly becoming a favorite in the category "two dudes shittin' around"
Thanks! The 20% Berlin Podcast is scheduled to return next week after a break due to 'techical issues'

Vandalising coffee shops isn't useful activism, IMHO
