Quote:I think what we all can agree with, no matter what part of the world we live in, is that we've had more than enough of all the BS from USA. As long as the orange turd is running the country, nobody is safe. We can't vote and we can't convince Americans to defend their own democracy. But we absolutely can hit them in the one place that matters them the most: their wallets.
We have already seen Trump will TACO when Wall Street gets nervous. We know he's backed by billionaires. We know he ran on promises for a new golden age for his followers. His hardcore base still believes it's coming, even when they are being strangled by Trump's economy. Well, they are going to have to be strangled harder! Wall Street has to feel panic and and billionaires have to get poorer. We *can* make that happen, if we follow the example from Canadians and boycott American products and services. So, instead of complaining, how about out your money where your mouth is and start doing some changes to your consumer habits?
- Stop buying from Amazon. Everything is available on other stores.
- Quit American subscriptions: Netflix, Disney, Audible, US magazines, etc.
- Get rid of US stocks from your portfolio.
- Don't go to see American films on cinema.
- No Teslas
- No iPhones, iPads or other Apple products.
- No Microsoft software if you can avoid it
- No Xbox or American video games, board games, card games, etc.
- No US liquor, cider, beer, etc.
- No US fast food or soft drinks
IMPORTANT: nobody is expected to boycott 100% everything. American products are everywhere and lots of people have to use certain software for work etc. But it's better to do something than nothing. If you won't stop using Windows, could you at least switch to OpenOffice? If you keep buying games from Steam, could you at least not buy US made games? If you won't quit all your subscriptions, could you get rid of some? The important thing is to change your habits. If you can change only one thing, then do that thing. But do as much as you can.
Make sure to let other people know what you are doing. Social pressure is a powerful thing.
Don't let anyone tell you your efforts are pointless. The US won't be bombing people with your money. That's reason enough to boycott.
