Right. But, I’m an American who strives to boycott goods produced by slave labor and/or colonization by my own government because I believe class solidarity transcends borders.

The BuyEuropean movement is largely nationalistic and uninterested in class solidarity. Don’t get me wrong, I think the entire world should be boycotting American goods. Let the empire collapse, please.

But, boycotting American goods while still exploiting the Global South for centuries is not a flex.

You will never convince a majority of Western people of boycotting anything for a moral reason.

They boycott America because they finally feel threatened. Just take the W and let them boycott America.

You will never convince a majority of Western people of boycotting anything for a moral reason.

And they will probably stop boycotting when the America fascist-meter drop from 100% to the normal 88%

That is very likely. But the American economy is feeble right now. Trump picked a bad timing to go on a tirade.

American Evangelicals and Zionists are bankrolling European far right parties as well. Europe cutting off America is better for the whole world.
