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.

When people talk about the “service” soldiers provide, remember this.

100% they were ordered to do this.

Now, is it on them for joining an organization that can take control of your own actions away? Yes.

But these guys didn't roll out the red carpet because they felt like it. Ain't nobody wanna do that crap.

Yeah that's why "just following orders" is not just dumb but actually evil.

Didn’t work in the Nuremberg trials, so why should it matter here. Some people just like licking boots.

Don’t you see, we SS men were not supposed to think about these things; it never even occurred to us. . . . We were all so trained to obey orders without even thinking that the thought of disobeying an order would simply never have occurred to anybody, and somebody else would have done just as well if I hadn’t. . . . I really never gave much thought to whether it was wrong. It just seemed a necessity.
