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 challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, 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.

I'm happy to see Japan that low on the list. I was expecting them to be right underneath Israel.
Bet Okinawa and other places near forward operating bases are all unfavorable.
One would hope, but like, i've helped with a few of those slideshows about being good citizens in foreign countries (a full bird being assigned to Clark asked me what insight i might have as a civvie i am so sorry for making the powerpoints worse) and there are I'd say a good third to two-thirds of the military folk going overseas that aren't total shitasses at any given time. Right now? My own biases say closer to a third, but I really don't know. A good fair number of them are just average kids who didn't have any good options after high school, foolishly took the recruiters at their word (or talked to their peers and families and they didn't have a better option) and seriously hoped they wouldn't have to kill anyone. The smartest of the bunch all went into the Coast Guard though, those folk actually save lives.
