A global boycott may be the only nonviolent way to curb US aggression and repression.

    It’s been time for quite a while now. Nobody should be buying U.S. made cars. Grocery shopping Canada or literally from anywhere else other than the states. Travel literally anywhere other than the states.

      Even Americans shouldn’t buy American cars as they’re all terrible quality. Canadians also need to know that US food safety regulatory agencies were gutted last year.

      You are.
      I’ve been trying out a few apps when shopping, like Boycat (poor database for products in my region in my experience) and No Thanks! (works best for me so far but is focused on Israel, although I wish it gave you more info on scanned products/companies) and I’ve recently been made aware of Open Food Facts which I’m looking forward to trying, it seems to have a large crowd-sourced database.
      They’re very convenient to use, just scan the barcode with your phone before dropping the item in your shopping cart.
      No need to wait for useless corrupt politicians to tell you what to do!

    Boycott the WEST! We have the same system in the rest of the west, and we treat other nations and people just like US treats us. We have homelessness and dictatorship by a bunch of rich psychopaths, and our ‘democracy’ works as well as it does in in the US.

    WE are the bad guys, and US is just the tip of the iceberg !

    Buy from China, Russia and ALL the ‘wevil’ Bricks nations, so we can end the violent Western neoliberal/globalist regime for good !

      I dunno why you have so many down votes. It’s like all the Americans who think Trump is the issue, yeah he’s the worst but it’s a whole system.

    Americans can boycott too.

    Work less.
    Spend less.
    Barter and trade.
    Buy used.
    Cancel subscriptions.
    Buy from foreign companies when possible
    Grow your own food.
    Make gifts.

    Every dollar you don’t make or spend is taxes that Ice and Israel don’t get.
