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.

This is the most mind blowing one. 🤯
Ground News... so many American Youtube sponsorships... I was surprised to learn it's Canadian.
Similarly, Reuters, one of the main worldwide news distributors that most other news media rely on, along with Associated Press (AP), both are pretty much omnipresent in the US and around the world. Reuters is a UK company.
And Reuters was bought out by a Canadian company in 2008
Holy hell, had no idea about Reuters. Wild!
New York Fries.
Do you think they call them Canada Geese outside of Canada?
Knorr is a German soup mix company that's owned by Unilever, a British company.
I was surprised L'Oreal, Dove, and Eucerin weren't from the US.
L'Oreal owns the following non-American brands:
- Garnier
- Biotherm
- Diesel (jeans)
- Lancôme
- YSL
- Kérastase
- La Roche-Posay
- Vichy
Nestle has a large but non controlling ownership in L'Oreal, so they are brands to boycott.
