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.

Fuck meta, fuck USA.
Fuck meta
It's almost like centralization is a bad idea.
Brazil should call for the legal execution of the heads of big tech
Lula won. Let's kick out big tech!
Get fucked, zuck 🎉
Nice try Meta. You billionaire tech bros have had your day in the sun and now you'll truly see the power of the people of the world.
Reminds me of the quote from the antagonist in Far Cry 3.
Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Edit: just in case people think I'm blaming Brazilians. I'm not. Technofascists can eat dirt, but it's Stockholm syndrome continuing to use their tools for communication.
It's More so not being given an alternative then stalkholm syndrome, btw that is actually a made up term by police.
It was originally use to explain why hostages side with their agressers, making it a psychological problem rather then admitting that the kidnappers might have actually been making good points and the captives actually agreeing with them and cooperateing.
There are a ton of alternatives. Signal. Lemmy. Bluesky. Mastodon.
Just as examples...
Yes, and I'm not describing an actual human hostage situation so I think the term fits fine.
Fell for it again award.
Political interference. Why is Brazil using us tech anyway? Lol
Don’t blame the victims of American colonisation
... But signal was right there!
Signal is still from US, isn't it?
This is true, though I'll note that signal is not oligarchic like meta. It's a nonprofit, and their ability to do nonsense like this is substantially reduced.
Man puts hand in alligators mouth. Stunned when hand is eaten.
Oh good gravy. At a certain point the victim gets to be blamed for their own problems for the continued support of American tech. This is like trying to excuse the American people for the American government. They voted. They didn’t behead. Tough tits.
No. Victim blaming is actually bad every time.
so the drunk driver should be forgiven when he crashes ?
The drunk driver is not a victim. Whatever they crash into is the victim.
If someone is driving drunk and runs into a tree, it's their fault. I don't care if they're the victim. They made shitty choices, and choices that endanger others at that.
No, victim blaming isn't bad every time.
A drunk driver hitting a tree is not a victim. The tree would be the victim in this case.
And people continuing tobenabke America and their oligarchs are not victims and american citizens are not victims.
I don’t think that’s true.
You're a victim to your own actions, like the person above was saying.
No.
Only no because it defeats the argument you were trying to make. In reality, yes.
Nah.
Isn't most of the 3rd world on WhatsApp?
You use it because the people you want to talk to are on it. Network effect
Most of the first world too, except like China.
The EU runs on WhatsApp except in some places like sweden where it runs on fucking Facebook messenger apparently 😂
Ah round here it's messenger and Telegram, didn't WhatsApp was so popular in the rest of the EU since everyone was already on Facebook like almost 2 decades ago so why even bother with WhatsApp
Choices choices. We all have many choices.
You seem nice.
