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.

JCB is a japanese alternative to the American credit card payment processors.
It didn't participate in visa and MasterCard's collusion to boycott and bankrupt manga, anime and art sites.
Interesting. I've only ever known this JCB.:
Wait what, what happened with Visa and MasterCard and manga sites?
They have been sanctioning sites like pixiv for years, and last year also were the reason Ken Akamatsu's (Love Hina author) manga archive site for out of print manga was shutdown, and why sites like Melonbooks (one of the largest in japan) only can accept JCB payment now.
Visa and MasterCard have a history of sanctioning anything that has anime and manga adult content, and I'm not talking about loli, just any adult content.
That's really shitty
This is the first time I’m hearing about this.
I really wish JCB was in Canada. C’mon Japanese friends make a deal with Mark Carney to strengthen our economies together.
