Poll Shows French Fed Up With U.S., 6 of 10 Back Boycott of American Goods
Poll Shows French Fed Up With U.S., 6 of 10 Back Boycott of American Goods
American brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Tesla are becoming symbols of political resistance in France.
I figured it’d be the vast majority, not a paltry 60%.
The other 40 had to disagree with the majority out of a knee jerk reflex.
That's the French way.
60:40 means 50% more people in support than against it.
I feel like so many people were already fed up with the us for a long time, but because everyone is now being offended at the same time and everyone is reacting simultaneously, it is now much more visible.
USA here. Fucking do it. Make us suffer. It seems to be the only way we fucking learn.
US will need some January 6 shit before they change i'm afraid
I know and Trump company will not hesitate to turn the military on us.
i'm from the us and i'm boycotting us goods i want to get out of this fucking country so badly
Out of curiosity, what is stopping you?
I'm not who you replied to, but leaving is not easy. Moving costs money and puts you far away from friends and family. You also need to be able to stay in the country long enough to be able to apply for citizenship and that's not easy either. Also if you're a minority going through TSA is scary because who knows if they are going to pull you aside and assault you or worse. I'm trans and I've thought of leaving but TSA scares me.
anxiety, fear, existential doubt, money, and mental health :^
*am trans and queer too but thankfully i have a passport and license but still terrified
We’re gonna do the stupid “freedom fries” thing again, aren’t we?
For some, probably. For the rest of us it'll just be another indicator to quickly learn what kind of creature you're talking to.
On one hand, it’s really nice having so many highly apparent litmus tests for “is the person I’m talking to a fucking psycho”.
On the other hand, there’s evidently an absolute shitload of fucking psychos around.
What is the stupid "freedom fries" thing and how does it compare to the current situation?
What I know of "freedom fries" seemed to me an inconsequential little bit of cosmetic chauvinism, while the current status of things is that the US have decided to strongly oppose Europe in both economic and geopolitical terms.
I was simply making commentary on how that was an early example of the nationalist “FUCK YOU! ‘MURRICUH!!!” vibe that’s now been turned up to 11 🫠
Ah, the good old days.
I’m nostalgic for when the worst thing right-wing reactionaries did was rename french fries something stupid.
This is the dumbest timeline.
I wish there was a way for them to focus their hatred to trump and his gang of criminals rather than to all U.S. citizens, but like the red hatted dip shits say - "it is what it is".
The majority of U.S. citizens allowed Trump to happen. 1/3 voted for him, 1/3 didn't give a shit enough to get off their ass and vote.
Trump IS America.
6 of 10 is rookie numbers.
