    As an American, who the fuck even has to be told that, by now? If you know what’s going on, you have an obligation to make American corporations shriek their fucking heads off as they hemorrhage profits.

    As an American:

    FFS STOP BUYING AMERICAN!

      I think it’s a bit hard for most people when there’s such an abundance of goods and services and nobody really knows where everything comes from.

        You don’t have to be perfect, just try your best to avoid anything made in the US. If it’s unavoidable, don’t stress it, just buy the absolute least you can get away with, while looking for EU alternatives.

          It’s true, just a couple of changes reflects on their books. One “this instead of that” per person goes a long way.

          I’m just saying how most of the people I meet outside are. They don’t have these lists handed to them. They only see some Tesla stuff on the news.

            We don’t need everyone to be perfect. We just need a lot of people, each making them earn a little bit less.

    The French have been avoiding dependence on Americans since de Gualle. The only reason the entire country hasn’t died of schadenfreude poisoning is because “schadenfreude” is a German word.

    Yes don’t go to Disney Land Paris. Got it.

    Also everyone should stop watching US movies in the theater, just pirate American movies. Or watch Les Vengeurs made by Marvelle. Or Le Batman by Les Frères Warner.

              Except in life expectancy, infant mortality, gdp, literacy, crime, and basically every other metric on the books. Nice try though. America is a shit hole thanks to jingoistic fucks like you!

                Just wait until China or Russia comes a knocking, fool boy. You will all scurry like the cockroaches you are and beg us for help. We are the most powerful economy on earth and we have unparalleled freedoms. European countries are afraid to speak nowadays. Only a nitwit would proclaim that the EU countries come close to America in any respect whatsoever. Just because you confidently say something doesn’t make it so silly little girl. What do you have to live for anyway?

                  The numbers don’t lie. All that bleating while America tanks, rofl. Fear mongering about and embracing Russia at the same time. Man, the right wingers really are confused. Politically, sexually. It makes sense why they’re so mad. Anyway, you’re the first person I’ve blocked on Lemmy lol. Glad I’ll never have to see another nutbag post from the likes of you.

        They 100% are easily manipulated by propaganda.

        Trump said Biden left the border open? They repeat it.

        Trump said trans inmates are using all the taxpayer dollars? They repeat it.

        Trump says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and taking over apartment complexes? They repeat it.

        Every single talking point, they repeat it.

        And the right wing misinformation machine is operating at its peak. They are getting news agencies to change the way they cover stories to be more in line with what the Trumpists are pushing. They are punishing dissent inside the government and in any group that deals with the government. They are pressuring social media sites to increasingly moderate progressive comments. There is an overall atmosphere that is increasing in the country l where it’s acceptable to censor free speech. Either you get in line with the Trump administration, or you become a target.
