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 genuinely believe that if you want to completely distance yourself from all of these companies and completely insulate yourself from their actions, you're just going to have to cancel your internet subscription. Full on local net only. Or just throw yoyr comp in the river.
Or make all tech companies public, but we're not there yet.
Pretty much. But people dont even attempt to try at ALL.
So you've met the median voter.
Honestly though don't get too caught up in it. It's the same as paper straws, a lot of this is constructed to make you feel like personal consumption has any leverage on any of this when the real consuming powers have nothing to do with us at all. You think Amazon gives a shit about a Prime subscription when AWS is taking a cut of every circular A.I. transaction that's quickly trying to crash the economy into the ground?
Just don't stress youself out about it, and don't judge anyone too harshly. Unless they're a real asshole about it.
Yep I get it. Just like I really try not to waste as much as possible and recycle what I possibly can and all but theres just some shit in plastic you have to throw (like wrapping on vegetables or meat packs etc). I hate doing it but theres no alternatives other than eating a cab of beans every single day for the rest of my life, and I'm not going to do that while the billionaires take jets to epstein island 3 times a day.
