Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I listened to 4ish hrs of Behind the Bastards on musk. No way am I doing that again, in any form.
I spent 5 minutes learning about his apartheid supporting parents, the emerald mine, and how he never actually accomplished anything but just lied about it when buying companies.
Oh an watched 10 seconds of his Nazi salute. Those 5 minutes and 10 seconds were enough.
Right? Read something here maybe, about buying leveled game characters so he could live play to an audience in an attempt to…I don’t even know…indirectly buy peers and conversation?
Which ties in with all that BoB stuff on him having zero friends.
Yeah at least with behind the bastards you can have a morbid laugh along and just how utterly shitty the man has always been. And those of us that have followed the show have known for years and more what a horrible person he is. A serious dry documentary would just be brutal. But necessary for the poorly adjusted normal people.
The reverend doctor does make horrific monsters far more palatable to hear about.
Four hours?!🤮
Hell, I'm surprised anyone can stomach him for that long (marriages? how?), let alone sitting still the whole time.
Did someone strap you in first, A Clockwork Orange style? 😅
They were separate podcasts spread across commutes. But yea. I listened to the Theil and Zuckerberg casts too. Then, I stopped listening at all. I wonder why.
There are so many podcasts out there that're worthy of your perusal that don't increase one's justifiable ennui.
Just off the top of my head:
My sincere apologies, I completely forgot to go back later and add links, but good on ya for doing what so many won't! 🤘🏼
LMK if this works for The Bad Spot, though the YT channel's here, if that's better for ya.
Oh, and I forgot, it's The Dollop, so give this a listen.
Thank you!!
Happy to helpa fellow geek branch out! Happy rabbit-holing! 🖖🏼
Also, IMHO, the first campaign of TBS is the best, though the others have their own charm —maybe just not my preferred kind? Anyhow, they differ widely in theme and scope, so I'm sure you'll find something that engages if not inspires you!
I had to stop listening entirely as well. That show definitely had and effect on my mental well-being.
After reading the article, it's not even him.
It's a CGI render since musk and the director don't get along at all.
So, more human? 😅
