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 get rid of citizen's united and implement independent district drawing and single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidates.

So far I've cancelled Netflix, Amazon, Norton, switched browsers to Vivaldi, switched email to Tutamail, and only purchased non-american items. I'm still going through the de-google list.

It's a lot of work, but I'm not knowingly giving the american economy a cent of my money.

Tell us what you're changing, maybe it'll give us some ideas.

Please don't use Vivaldi. It's based on Chromium, whose curator is Google. Chromium is open sourced, sure. But Google still has the keys to the repo and they do push whatever they want to push on there.

But can't someone just open-source chromium if stuff goes out of hand? Technically, sure. But developing a browser takes a crazy amount of resources. Maintaining a fork like this would be expensive. No one really has the resources for this.

This is why you probably should use a Firefox based browser. Mozilla, the parent company behind Firefox is still American, though it's a non profit. They kinda have the resources to maintain a browser. Granted, there are many problems with Mozilla. Regardless, it's still much much better than Google.

Another big win for firefox is that you can have ublock origin also on android
