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.

Look at how they act. The rest of the world is showing disproval, while slowly moving to implementing the same systems. It is all theater, they are all bought out. There is no free land left in the world.
Yes, it's a global trend towards fascism. But there are still places more free than the USA, for now at least. Still, people everywhere need to fight back against fascism because there is no alliance of antifascist nations to save us this time. It will have to be overthrown from within each country.
What do you expect me to do? 3D print a drone army? Design an empathy virus? "Accidentally" block the Suez canal in the hopes that the trade collapse leads to better conditions long-therm?
Find other people who are organizing locally. Meaningful resistance is only possible when people work together.
Ok, that's me first. But have to break out of my unholy work-life balance. Right now, I'm too distracted to do anything of meaning.
Breaking out of wage slavery has meaning in itself. Lowering work time and lowering consumption is poison for capitalism. Moving away from the capitalist economy also helps(fixing stuff, foraging, direct trade with neighbors and so forth).
Not saying it is easy or that anybody can just do it, but it is meaningful.
I work to provide indirectly for rhe mining industry and agriculture industry
I'm always grateful for the fact that I don't live in 'Murica
There is no move towards authoritarian overreach in Australia
The closest thing is a dumb idea about social media and kids under sixteen, but that's a hangover from the last conservative government and is doomed to failure
Keep it that way. Don't get complacent. They are there, festering. I heard about the March for Australia just a few weeks ago.
Fortunately, they're a fringe, unlike the MAGA cunts
Australia isn't perfect, but it's better than most places
They were fringe here in the United States, too. Until they weren't. Here's hoping Australia stays that way.
We have compulsory voting, which is one of the best things ever
It stops lunatics on the fringe from gaining undue influence
Should be kids under 21

Nobody wants to piss off America. Not doing business with America well drop their GDP and nobody wants that. Some of the government's have made concessions I wouldn't have thought just for America.
