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 can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage."

In Kirk's own words.

Conveniently left out the following two sentences where he states that he just prefers the term "sympathy" over "empathy" and dislikes the latter because of a miniscule detail in its origin

Cool. Now tell us the "context" for these gems:

  1. Those are just more quotes without context
  2. I still dont see how the would prove your point

(I would like to note that I don't agree at all with Kirk's opinions just so that doesn't get mixed up)
