We now scour the aisles of the grocery store for anything not made in america. I just quit Netflix and yesterday said goodbye to reddit. Collectively this will hurt their economy quite badly. Individually, not so much.
Honestly, since most US residents’ major corporate overlords are international, and thus can weather a strictly domestic boycott, these international boycotts of US corporations absolutely help people in the US, in spite of the local economic upheaval.
It really does make a difference. 🙏
I didn't think about it this way !
Good.
Do it. Continue. For the next 4 years.
I would be of the same mind were I Canada/Europe.
Fuck us.
Do it for the next 20 even. Getting Trump out of the Whitehouse is not the cure for our disease.
AS a US citizen: please boycott us. Hopefully, it will wake everyone up sooner rather than later (though I wouldn't bet on it)
Sucks cause as a canadian I don't want to boycott you. I just don't want to give to the overlords that menace the integrity of my nation. I wish I could just do the latter.
As another US citizen, fucking absolutely. I mean, fuck, we're boycotting most larger businesses anyways and going local where possible. Cancelled Amazon, got rid of all subscription services, protesting during the weekenda and weekdays where possible....these wannabe fascist fucks have no idea the ire that American progressives and the rest of the world feel towards them. They are so holed up in their fake news space, creating fake solutions to fake problems, that they are oblivious to the growing resentment even in their own ranks.
The oligarchs think Trump will net them even more wealth than they would have under the old system. Prove them wrong and they'll turn on him.
Boycott AND buy locally. This is especially important for us Europeans. Our governments neglected certain fields far too long. Also, greetings to every single German car manufacturer who slept on EVs. Ihr Dödel.
America has no clue how vindictive, petty, and just how long Canadians hold grudges for. They just assume when orange clownman is eventually out of office things can be patched up with Canada.
No, the popular people of the US are joining in this with Canadians. Literally nobody wants this shit.
Well, at least 20-30% of America probably wants it.
American here. I support this. My countrymen - and the problematic ones are predominantly men - aren’t gonna learn anything unless they’re subjected to some serious trauma - economic, financial, epidemiological, you name it. There are a whole fucking lot of willful, intentional idiots over here (in addition to the, maliciously, sociopathically evil ones)
I’m in the US and I’d like to boycott our products too.
The next 4 years is a great opportunity to invest in the S&P 500 (if you can afford eggs)
