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.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. And yet, you must consume some just to survive.
Best we can do is minimize consumption. Recycle, reuse, buy used, make it yourself, steal it if you can get away with it. And when all else fails, then buy from the shitty megacorps.
You know I keep telling people this and they get mad at me. I have vices for sure but I don't consume anything that doesn't have either a: the ability to keep me alive for another week or so, or b: is currently part of a web of things that keep me sane and feeling like I cal scrounge some joy out of this life. All of which comes from some dark, questionable feed hopper of capitalism.
