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.

Sika makes big fucking money off of US data centers and the AI boom.
They make big fucking money everywhere. I don't quite understand. Where there's construction going on, Sika is there. Would be pretty dumb not to do so, don't you think?
I'm pointing it out, as I know Sika has a US presence that is essentially dedicated to data centers.
It is OK for companies to chase the opportunities they want to, that's capitalism. But some people choose to boycott goods based on where the company chooses to make their money.
In the US, lots of people are choosing to boycott businesses that make money off of Flock -including the installers. Boycotts like this can be effective for raising pricing for Flock, because the businesses left have to raise prices to install Flock, to cover the downsides. Thus making Flock less competitive and making it easier to stop Flock.
In a thread about boycotting over moral issues, there is relevance to painting the full picture. Whether anyone chooses to boycott Sika over their willingness to accept money from the pedophile elite to help build AI surveillance police states, that's up to the individual reader.
Thanks for the background info! I just know of Sika because we use that on our machines as a sealant (sika flex).
I appreciate the insights!
