We are not all the same

I don't hate all Americans, I've met some really cool ones over the years. But I do hate its fake democracy, its vulgar, parasitic oligarchs, its deceitful propaganda networks and the lust for war and global domination that drenches all three.

I'm an American,and I boycott US products because they're shit quality.

there is problems with the buy european movement as outlines in other comments here, but as an American: please continue boycotting us, the chances of our government changing for the better are slim, but every bit of protest matters.

I Boycott American products because I'm 3 'once-in-a-lifetime' recessions deep and cannot afford them

As an American..

send help :(

Hey hey these two things aren't mutually exclusive!

I don’t get it

You boycot american products because you think you are american.

I don't because America is a continent not a single country.

I don't want to see you flying your colonial-ass flag Canada, I want to see you supporting small, local, and indigenous owned businesses. Be pro-people, don't be pro-country.

Anti-imperialism would make more sense. The US is not the only asshole... (Edit: Just the current worst one.)

I boycott products because I'm a freaking cheapskate.

Not all are easy to boycott

US products > GitHub, Steam (Valve), Dropbox, Oracle, nVidia, Intel, IBM, eBay, Amazon, UPS, FedEx, Pepsi, CocaCola, Microsoft, Google, Pfitzer, Nike......., Which of these support Trump and needs to be avoided because of this? Not even FOSS is a Guarantee. Gimp, GNU Project, Mozilla.org, TOR, even a lot of Linux distros are from the US

Does this mean Europeans will also boycott goods that they steal from the 17 countries they still have colonized?

No? Oh.

test

Seems like something I'd come across in r/2westerneurope4you

Soooo, when will all this anti-US consumerist movement result in those Levis 501 jeans I've been eyeing dropping in price?

I'm hoping for the perfect intersection of price drop and waistline drop.

Boycut companies with too much market power. They just happen to be quite concentrated in the US.

Anti-American is fucking weird.

How about get to the root that most of us here have in common? Even half of the Americans agree with the below principles.

Anti-consumerism for the sake of consuming. Anti-greed. Anti harming others for your own selfish gains. Anti-billionaires. Anti-waste and harming the planet.

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.

why not both?

Sir and/or Ma'am I have done nothing to you to warrent this level of hatred. Other than make fun of your outs and abouts and sorries. And the Maple Leafs. Go Bruins.

I'm, despite being European, pro-American. It's just that what America has become disappoints me much like it disappoints most Americans. I'm not pro this America.

The government has always been responsible for some shady shit, but for a long time there, the US stood for diversity, not against it. Yes it took a long time for certain types of people to receive equal rights, but that was unfortunately the same pretty much everywhere else too. Big American metropolitan cities are huge melting pots of culture though. Go walk around NYC, it's awesome once you get far enough from Wall Street. I do hope I can one day still go to San Francisco as well, but despite being a white cishet male, I don't intend to visit the US unless the current admin is replaced with a sane one.

I boycot them because of both!

Yes. I will keep driving my old BMW as long as I need to.

Whatever works for you.
