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 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.

Switch to Linux from Windows or MacOS, use a degoogled Android ROM such as GrapheneOS, pay using cash when in person and using Monero when buying online using sites like shopinbit (based in Europe) & others listed on sites like monerica and kycnot.me or cash/Monero bought gift cards, to avoid using US payment processors, in general using privacy respecting open source software.

Everyone should do this, not just as a way of hurting the American economy, but as a way of regaining freedom over their own data and privacy, including Americans. Your data and privacy is being sold as a commodity to brokers/advertisers and governments, particularly the US govt. You should use this opportunity to take back control over your own privacy and freedoms.
