So why didn’t you do that?
It must have been at least partly because you*believed*you’d gain less publicity and adulation, and sell less beer.
You might have been right to think that,*but we suspect not: you’d gain marks for honesty and pick up the kind of fans for whom beer isn’t so pungent with politics.
Either way, if you insist independence is important when it benefits you but then decide people who care about it are silly and immature when your situation changes, expect them to be annoyed.
