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.

All of them are open to abuse by governments and private contractors. The main difference is that in the USA the government is a bunch of Nazis eager to do Nazi things to anyone they don't like.

Well, they certainly do this at the border in China, though not by roving gangs of photographers. It's part of the check-in/out process at customs.

Tell me, though, is the USA and its citizenry aspiring to become China? Or does the self-proclaimed "Land of the Free" perhaps have higher ideals they bleat out loud in spite of shit like this?

Because Americans recoil reflexively at the word "China". It's a harder hit.

Also I haven't been at an Indian, Japanese, or German airport to go through customs in nearly 30 years. I have nothing to say about how they do things now, whereas I last went through Chinese customs a few months ago.

Totally unnecessary when there are cameras already at every border crossing.

They are intentionally choosing policies to intimidate them

Exactly. Even the Chinese aren't this full-on authoritarian thug about it.
