    Boycott the USA. Do not consume American products. Do not travel to the US. Cancel your subscriptions, find alternatives or pirate their software and media. Make Americans tourists feel unwelcome.

      I’m doing my part! More to strengthen the EU, than to weaken the US, but: Cancelled all US tech subscriptions (not a small deal as a software dev). Cloud services all moved to Scaleway in France, AI migrated to Mistral, mail to Tuta, maps to Mapy.cz and more…

        Same. Got chickens, veg seeds, and I’m about to buy a bow for hunting my own meat. Fuck the US, time to crack out that survivalism I’ve been practicing.

      But like, could I come visit if I need to seek asylum? That would be different than tourism, right? I’m not really happy or comfortable with the situation here, nor have my efforts been able to change other people’s views (e.g. make them think about consequences).

        Ok to be fair… You may come as long as you’re a queer / trans baddie or if your name is Luigi, or take the “death to America” pledge. 😌

          I’ll take that pledge without even visiting your country! Then again when I do!

          Seriously though, this regime is terrible and some of us are protesting every opportunity we can get. I’ll be the first to admit America has deeply rooted problems but some of us are trying to fix it and would like to not be treated like shit for the actions of the magats

          Deal. I stopped pledging “allegiance to the flag” over a decade ago when I realized this wasn’t a nation with “liberty and justice for all”. I’ll also bring some trans baddie friends with me.

            “Death to America” is no longer a call to action; now it’s just remarking on current events.

      I get where you’re coming from, but the whole tourist thing . . . remember half of us fucking despise Trump and his merry band of fascist fuckwits.
