Oh no, are profits in danger? Finally something the DNC can actually be bothered to care about.

Anti-american sentiment is largely justified. There's concentration camps and masked men kidnapping people off the street. People are proudly wearing the maga-hat symbols of trumpism.

i'm joining the war on rising anti-american sentiment on the side of rising anti-american sentiment

I'm becoming anti-American, and I'm American. I totally understand why the rest of the world hates us. I don't blame them at all.

As an American, good. We have too many chuckle-fucks here who live in their own bubbles, thinking America can do whatever the fuck it wants without consequence, like we're not all a part of the same global stage. We deserve every ounce of criticism we're getting.

I hope all these fuckers running the companies get the day they voted for.

Gee I wonder where that could've stemmed from?

I'm american and am so fucking ashamed of this place right now. Hoping for aliens to come down --since they always land in the US-- and just start blasting...

The authors are conflating two issues. They mention the reduced tourism, but that is not about being anti-American. People are reasonably scared of getting locked up; why would anyone risk visiting the U.S. if they had another decent option (like, for example, any country that isn't at war right now)? ... And this is a totally different issue from boycotting American manufacturers. It's about personal safety.

At the same time, the anti-American sentiment goes hand-in-hand with tariffs. If the U.S. charges tariffs on the EU, for example, people who work sales in the EU will be hurt by the loss of customers. And then when the EU issues counter-tariffs, US goods become too expensive to buy... And this is all about basic economics, not about feelings.

And then, finally, there are feelings. Many people think that Trump (who is in the Epstein Files) is an evil POS. And most large American corporations supported his rise to power and are currently licking his boots. Supporting that evil man is itself an evil act, many people would say.

Anyway, these are three different overlapping issues, and Newsweek should have good enough writers to describe the situation with greater precision. But if you bring in the non-emotional arguments, that makes the U.S. companies look like big jerks, right, so of course the magazine couldn't be bothered with that kind of analysis. Better to describe the broader international community as moody or some shit like that. Meh.

This country sucks. Hopefully it splits up soon.

These stupid cunts didn't realize he was unpopular when they were doing photo ops during the campaign? Let them suffer.

This is proof that individuals do have power. Together we have a voice. Keep speaking.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sucks to suck.

They spent billions of dollars and decades avoiding competition at all costs.

We can't have good cars or phones or anything really. All our appliances are designed to break so you have to buy another. Planned obsolescence. Enshitification.

Whenever I have a choice I avoid US products and I'm American. Because the products are either designed to fail or just worse. And for a higher price.

Keep up the boycott. Make those scumbags pay.

"made in USA" is a warning label

Sucks to be a company who supported Trump and the GOP.

As an American I say fuck'em. I have hated on America since Reagan.

Leopards ate my face!

Oh no, anyway...

As an American I hate us more and more each year.

....how long until mcdonalds expand their business into the prison food racket??

Good. If anti american sentiment can put a dent in these corp business structures, all I see are two moral goods.

We deserve it

Please avoid our businesses and produces like the plague. Because you're giving money to pure evil.

Edit: and for my fellow Americans... Stop buying shit you don't need. Seriously, Christmas and birthdays need to be fucking canceled! Stop buying pumpkins spiced bullshit, TVs, and entertainment. Go cold turkey on all the shit they've tricked you into needing and wanting. Voting with our dollar might be our last chance at a peaceful change of values in our country. You don't need fabric softener, but the oligarchy needs you to keep buying so they can take more wealth. The money you spend on shit you don't need doesn't help anyone but the wealthy. Very little of the money everyday America spends circulates in our communities in an additive way. Build community not corporations.

Fuck major American brands fuck corporations fuck the bourgeoisie and the patricians fuck CEOs fuck “members of the board” fuck shareholders and the entirety of every Forbes list
