A global boycott may be the only nonviolent way to curb US aggression and repression.

    Americans can boycott too.

    Work less.
    Spend less.
    Barter and trade.
    Buy used.
    Cancel subscriptions.
    Buy from foreign companies when possible
    Grow your own food.
    Make gifts.

    Every dollar you don’t make or spend is taxes that Ice and Israel don’t get.

    As someone who was born and raised in the states for 20+ years, I fully endorse this. I hate it here so much, I want to leave.

    It’s been time for quite a while now. Nobody should be buying U.S. made cars. Grocery shopping Canada or literally from anywhere else other than the states. Travel literally anywhere other than the states.

      Even Americans shouldn’t buy American cars as they’re all terrible quality. Canadians also need to know that US food safety regulatory agencies were gutted last year.

      No thank you. That’s like emigration from a shit hole then wondering how we can make this new land another shit hole.

      You are.
      I’ve been trying out a few apps when shopping, like Boycat (poor database for products in my region in my experience) and No Thanks! (works best for me so far but is focused on Israel, although I wish it gave you more info on scanned products/companies) and I’ve recently been made aware of Open Food Facts which I’m looking forward to trying, it seems to have a large crowd-sourced database.
      They’re very convenient to use, just scan the barcode with your phone before dropping the item in your shopping cart.
      No need to wait for useless corrupt politicians to tell you what to do!
