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.

I am highly educated, but I’m a single parent. That seems to pretty much tank my worth across the board.
Is that actually true for you in America?
So far you sound like a catch. Good conversation and no more diapers? Awesome!!!!
Yeah it’s a pretty big dealbreaker for a lot of people. Even if kids are grown and independent. Fair enough.
Hello, fellow woman who left the USA back in March o7
Fuck USA, the EU has been amazing so far! Lol
Small correction: I've never lived in the USA (though I came close to making that fatal mistake in 1999). I've lived in ... ah ... well ... many countries, but my citizenship is Canadian.
And yeah, Europe is a really nice place to live. I finished my secondary schooling in Europe and it was like going to school in Disneyland for me.
That is literally a bullet dodged and a half. Europe has been feeling like a whole new world, one that makes sense and we don’t feel in danger. That does make it a Disney land huh? Lol
For us we were born in the USA and it always felt like we were trapped. Born raised and lived in poverty. Being disabled didn’t help at all either. We worked for a while and we finally able to move with the help of our significant other. We’re still trying to get permanent residency but you will not see us in the USA any time soon.
It's OK so long as Bobba doesn't leave
If you're educated or have a Department of Labor recognized skilled labor certificate (for example Union Apprenticeship) GTFO of the USA.
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。
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.
Did I mention I have an art degree lol. However my wife is an engineer, I'm trying to convince her but it's slow going. She doesn't think it's as urgent as I do
Same. My wife doesn't want to be far away from family.
I've got 2 kids and I want them to have a better life.
I've looked into emigrating and I'm afraid I just don't have the spoons for it either. Between those 2 hurdles, I don't know if it'll ever happen.
Still, there's potential. We both have degrees. I just hope she doesn't become a target. She's a little higher profile.
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.
Who can blame them?
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.
And nobody will have babies with economy bad because women at home. But that's too complicated for them.
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!?
