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.

It enrages me how little American media talks about that. Even when they do mention us in these kinds of articles, they only mention that we're mad about the tariffs and never the fucking annexation threats
The US population is so brainwashed that they don't even consider their imperialism a bad thing
A lot of us do consider it a bad thing.
Most major media outlets in the US are owned by people who are only looking out for the billionaires.
They push lies all the time, towing the pro-Russia, pro-Israel, pro-Trump line.
America has gotten less and less educated, by design. Deregulation of media (thanks Reagan) and many other industries has just made it worse.
The problem is that what passes for the Left in the USA is an incoherent set of feuding movements that spend more time fighting each other than the actual enemy. And while the Left, for some value of "Left" that includes America under the umbrella, was busy tearing itself into ever smaller mutually hostile camps, the three major branches of the Right (libertarian-, religious-, and economic-right) quietly set aside their differences and started working on a long-term scheme to put the Right on a course to rule.
Worse education? By design.
Deregulation of media? By design.
Systematic dismantling of labour power? By design.
Over a few decades, the Right quietly, and in a relatively unified way (with minor battles along the cleave lines) put into place a substrate that favoured their anti-human agenda all while the Left ranted over issues that alienated the public, tore huge strips of division through their body politic (the biggest idiocy being alienating the very backbone and militant arm of Leftist groups throughout history: labour), and generally let the Right get away with everything.
Until the Left starts treating their politics less as performance art and more as, you know, a literal struggle for survival, the USA will be held in the hands of Nazis.
