    Does this mean Europeans will also boycott goods that they steal from the 17 countries they still have colonized?

    No? Oh.

        It’s not whataboutism when my entire ideology is anti-nationalism. You don’t get it, do you? I want all of the Western imperialist nations to collapse, including the European ones.

        Your rhetoric is weak and outdated, still viewing the world through borders. You think Musk gives a fuck about borders? Grow up.

        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.

            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.

      The post only says they’re “Anti-American”. It never said they were anti-American for any of the good reasons.
