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.

But why?! The USA is a paradise for women! Isn't that what Margaret Atwood taught us!?

To anyone who truly feels this way, please consider coming to Australia.

We aren’t perfect, but we will damned sure treat you a lot better than the US has.

Chinese in Australia are reporting differently.

My comment was explicitly towards those disenfranchised within the US, who would face no issue with assimilating into Australian society and culture.

Just for the record: 我老婆是中国人,所以我了解澳大利亚的种族歧视问题。

Who can blame them?

I wouldnt mind moving out of the US.

I'm not a woman but it's been my dream for years. Now that I have a child it's my goal to help him escape.

Quite a few European countries including the UK I believe are starting to develop policies that would help highly educated Americans get citizenship on a fast track scheme. We don't want a lot of scientific knowledge to go away just because America has decided to fall apart. Come work on our particle accelerators, experimental fusion reactors, or join the European space agency. It would be nice if we could have human space flight independent of Roscosmos and NASA. Maybe we could even beat NASA back to the moon, since I can't really see Artemis making any progress anytime soon.

I don't think anyone's got as far as actually implementing any of these policies yet, but they're on the way.

I'm sure China would also happily accept Americans, but you might not want to go that route.

If this is a suprise you're a fucking idiot

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, I would too if I went on a road trip across the country and gained and lost human rights as I crossed state borders.

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 18 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The irony is the Conservatives wanted women's rights removed and have them back at home to make white babies, because they fear the mixed culture. And they may now be left with a country mostly made of men, which will obviously shrink their baby birthing plan.

[–] sureshot@discuss.online 7 points 18 hours ago

this forced birthing thing sort of reminds me of one child policy in a way... ironically no one is thinking about how this will impact men long term. women are just supposed to fulfill this need for companionship and reproduction without any reciprocation, even though everything on this planet, even breathing, is transactional. when we inhale we get oxygen and when we exhale we give CO2. it is physically impossible to get something for nothing in this world. if you want a woman to have your kids, you've got to pay her in some way. if you don't provide for her, and she can't provide for herself, it is physically impossible for her to have enough calories to produce a child and physically impossible for her to have enough money to raise it. that's just life. and if you try to arm twist women (or anyone or anything else) into doing the impossible, they're just going to totally disengage.

truly shocking. Who'd have thunk treating a demographic like shit and taking away all their rights would cause them to leave!?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, I get why women don't want to live here, particularly in states that have banned abortion. It's fucked up, and I don't fault them for abandoning their country.

I do hope enough of us keep fighting, though.

"Also older women. And younger men. And older men."

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 9 hours ago

Someone didn't read the article. Or look at the graphs. Despite the graphs being at the head of the post.

[–] cdnwaffleiron@lemmy.ca 21 points 23 hours ago

Can’t imagine why…. So odd…

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 22 hours ago

Well at least somebody is paying attention.
