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.

Ignorant comment. Fuck America, but not from your perspective. It is deplorable, but the people have been cultivated to be ignorant and malleable. It's deeply flawed, but it's system is rigged to beat everyone down and break their collective will.
Those of us who stand up are divided constantly. We're undermined at every turn. We are marginalized for speaking the truth. Our spirits are broken by the weight of ineffectiveness sold to us as Democracy.
American Exceptionalism is taught from birth and is fully unfounded. There was a time decades ago when the national anthem would give me goosebumps, but now I know that was not excitement. It was subconscious fear of something yet to emerge.
You obviously don't live here. This is my personal resounding "fuck you" while completely mirroring your words. You have no inkling of which you speak. What you would have us do is nigh impossible.
Our only hope is that a unifying event will de-polarize our population and unify our resolve.
While we stand divided we shall fall united.
Fuck you.
It's always saddening to see people regurgitatating the kind of jingoistic rhetoric alt-right parties the world over rely on, as some kind of edgily scathing indictment of just american culture. If an american were to discount everyone from a culture like this, it'd be quite rightly called out as unacceptable. Why is the same behavior somehow acceptable just because it's perceived as turnabout? Doesn't that paint them as identical in rhetoric, but somehow even more bitter in motivation? Just disappointing...
