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.

It's not the 2-day delivery that gets me. Fuck that shit, I can wait. I'm just too damn poor to ignore when something is 10% to 15% cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else I can find it.
(That said, I rarely buy anything at all new. I only do this when it's something I can't find used or make myself.)
For a while there I was just upset when I'd order off a third party/manufacturer's site, they used Amazon to handle sales.
Now everyone's moved to Shopify and that's it's own convo nobody's ready for yet.
I think we're all going to eventually have to come to terms with the fact that any internet use is going to imply complicity.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. And yet, you must consume some just to survive.
Best we can do is minimize consumption. Recycle, reuse, buy used, make it yourself, steal it if you can get away with it. And when all else fails, then buy from the shitty megacorps.
You know I keep telling people this and they get mad at me. I have vices for sure but I don't consume anything that doesn't have either a: the ability to keep me alive for another week or so, or b: is currently part of a web of things that keep me sane and feeling like I cal scrounge some joy out of this life. All of which comes from some dark, questionable feed hopper of capitalism.
And every site that's not Amazon charges you a lot for shipping
