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.

"First they came for the rich socialists..."
I'm kind of indifferent to Hasan but law enforcement harassing anyone for their political views is troubling.
Noted. Which of those things is a potential crime he should be detained for?
Ah the left (If you're even left) is self cannibalizing again I see. Very productive.
If he's "the left", I don't want to be anywhere near it.
He doesn't care about the people, he just hates the US. Hating US does not make you "Left".
I'm not even entirely sure why you have a vendetta against hasan, but okay let's roll with that line of thinking.
Does this also mean that we should cancel Bernie Sanders for having Zionist takes at one point? Even when he has changed his stance and is infinitely better than most around him?
If only the right wingers were this divided, we might stand a chance.
I mean... They are. They just hate what they think <\EDIT> liberals are <\EDIT> more.
This is a aspect inherent to the conservative vs progressive mind set. This is an extreme over simplification, like really extreme and doesn't really apply to Trump, but here goes:
If your side wants things to stay the same, that's it. You're done formulating views.
But, if you want things to change, now you have to answer the question of what needs to change and how.
I try and make clear any significant changes i make to a post.
It's more important when someone has already replied, but i tend to do it even when no one has in the same way i use my blinkers while driving, even if no one is around.
He produces edited videos via multiple video editors that agree to the work, but he does not pay? (I’m only peripherally aware of the guy)
This looks like people making assumptions and doing work before an agreement is made.
It’s unique that the edit went up on a channel he controls.
People editing podcasts and streams and building unauthorized/unofficial channels is super common. I can see how that makes this even more murky, in a way where Hasan can be “huh? What? Whatever bro.” About it.
Messy messy quasi-parasocial stuff.
I don't know him what's he done
