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 get rid of citizen's united and 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.

So far I've cancelled Netflix, Amazon, Norton, switched browsers to Vivaldi, switched email to Tutamail, and only purchased non-american items. I'm still going through the de-google list.

It's a lot of work, but I'm not knowingly giving the american economy a cent of my money.

Tell us what you're changing, maybe it'll give us some ideas.

These days when I'm shopping for anything: if it's not a Canadian product, then it's Mexico, Peru, etc. I've cancelled Netflix and Amazon. It's just Crave and CBC gem atm.

I'm boosting CBC content over Murdoch slop and scrape-paste journalism wherever I can.

Some intentional behavioural changes too. Because I think boycotting America is also about deprogramming myself a bit.

Lifelong athiest, but I've started keeping a Sabbath. From sundown to sundown once a week, everything (except the fridge, stove, freezer and my alarm clock from the 1980s) gets turned off and unplugged. Including power cords. [Highly recommend - there's less static in the house and the cats are pleased.]

In my own neighbourhood, I see some white supremacists and fundies getting louder and prouder since Trump's second kick at the can. So, I make sure when I'm in public (I try) to stay calm and ready to step in. And I stay friendly. Nobody needs to be dealing with more bad vibes from random people in public.

[edit bc I wrote my diary on the internet for no good reason and need to take my own username advice for a bit]
