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.

If I had the appropriate reactions to all the shit that goes on, I'd be in the street screaming every day of the week.
Unfortunately, I like having a comfortable shelter, and spend all that time instead working a boring job against compensation.
This sucks.
Attempt at clearing my name
At least I don't have a prime account and don't shop on Amazon (with a few cheat items / years, I gotta admit).I dropped Windows for Linux last year and frankly no Rugrats .
I left all Meta platforms two years ago. Still haven't recovered socially, even my family often forget to send me invites to gatherings. Worth it still.
I'm trying to cut Google. I've switch to proton mail and give it as my new email nowadays, but fuck me, I don't feel like going through the process of making sure I have everyone my new email, change all my accounts, etc, so I'm taking my time sunsetting it. However I built myself a home server with an old computer, and managed to use Nextcloud+ Memories, replacing my use of Google photo / Drive / calendar.
Also got rid of Netflix and Spotify, using Jellyfin and Navidrome instead.
I ain't perfect but I'm trying, people.
Set up your gmail to have a mail forwarding rule, so that any message it receives gets forwarded to your new address. After switching over your more major things, all you need to do is keep an eye out for things that have been forwarded from your old gmail, and switch them over when you notice one. Eventually, very little will be going through your gmail anymore. Even then, it's not a terrible idea to leave it open and still forwarding, just in case someone important tries contacting you there years later. But with this forwarding strategy, you can pretty quickly get it so that 90% of your messages don't go through gmail anymore. While cutting google out of your life completely would be ideal, reducing usage and reducing what they have access to is still a good thing.
actually a good plan. I had resisted setting up forwarding because I felt it was just getting my Gmail emails with more steps, but I guess I stopped thinking after the first step, huh.
"I have a mortgage to pay" is the 21st century version of "I was only following orders".
And it will bear as much weight in the Nuremberg Trials Volume 2: Electric Bugaloo.
So, enlighten me how I can go scream in the street and manage to survive long enough for it to actually matter AND not become a homeless, medication-less wretch. you seem to have it figured out.
Cool story bro.
You know it was your government that published the manual on how you can do that, right?
Provincial or Federal? Seems like they haven't sent this one to us directly, but I'll take a link to that manual.
(Also, nice way to move the goal post without answering the question. You wouldn't be a hypocrite who preaches what they don't follow themselves, are you?)
OSS Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
It's been doing the rounds since Don Don turned the White House into an overt criminal enterprise.
You must have missed the ".ca" at the end of my instance then, buddy. Also, isn't that the one that teaches how to do simple sabotage at your place of employment? I don't see how I can help by sabotaging a learning management system used by schools and individual giving seminars, but I guess I'm just lacking in the creativity department.
Yes, I did, sorry. And yes, you seem to be.
You do realize that all you offer is condescension, and no help at all, yes? What a world you strive to live in.
Enjoy your smugness, we can't be all as perfect as you when it comes to embodying our ideals.
Yeah sure dude i am sure you are fighting really well in your fantasyworld where people don't need food and shelter.
Guess I'll just go be homeless and die in the winter then, eh? But at least nobody will blame me in the eventual hypothetical trials.
You'd be surprised about what you can live without. It's just inconvenient to change a couple of habits. And most people won't be inconvenienced to think for a minute about what they actually need and what alternatives they have.
