    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.
