Boycott US

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 the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

If you believe in this community, you are undermining its goals by being this hostile.
So I forget, are you an ‘ignorant newcomer’ (your own words) or do you have your finger on the pulse of the community and its goals, and post disinfo anyway?
I didn't know about anti-boycott laws. I posted in good faith. Now I know.
I don't know specifics of this community but I seem to have a better grasp of community in general than you do.
You could have taken the opportunity to politely educate. Instead you've chosen maximum hostility. Why? What are you getting out of this? How is it better than kindness?
Yeah, I got a little heated, I guess everyone has their own line on what constitutes good faith, and that’s okay! Frankly I only know as much about US anti-boycott laws as I do because I work at a big soulless US corp.
I definitely don’t claim to be some elder of usboycott, and in fact dislike people who claim to have some kind of superiority for being established in a community
I just happen to be a random nerd on the internet that knows a strange amount about anti-boycott laws, who just dropped an edible and is feeling much more empathic,
Hopefully this can just go down as a lovely educational moment on the fediverse! And I hope you have a lovely day
Oh good. I'm glad we've made peace. I didn't know about anti boycott laws, so I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.
I'm having a nice afternoon in the park. Hope your evening is just as pleasant.
