I downvoted because the actual website had an INSANE amount of trackers to block. I would upvote a better website or a cache page. I don't want to read a copy pasted excerpt, I want to read the whole article.

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.

Insane how US-centric the internet is, even in Europe, separation by 4500km of ocean isn't enough loosen the grasp of America, sad.
Paypal, Expedia, Amazon . . . . . it's not just that we've given our digital lives over to American companies, but that we've given them away at all. It's too late, when our likes and dislikes are stored in some datacenter to be sold to the highest bidder . . . . Snowden's hopes are just dust in the wind at this point . . .
No US tech? Sanction me! Sanction me! Me next.
Wait. Sanction everyone. Yes. Sanction absolutely everyone worldwide!
I can't access this article so I don't know if he explains whether not having these services makes his lifestyle better or worse.
Personally I enjoy the challenge of trying my best not to use those services. Amazon, Airbnb, or PayPal, expedia(??? idk what that is - I think I've seen it advertised).
I just try to use bricks and mortar, or contact people directly, or use their own website (though i guess the payment processing thing may limit that).
Sometimes having a constraint like that forces you to adapt and stop your inner lazy-slob from becoming one of your enemies.
I remember when my flat used to get burgled regularly, we'd lose all the games consoles and laptops and stuff, and have to go out to find entertainment of an evening. It was pretty cool.
But there may be more too it than what the synopsis makes out.
Digitally excluded from almost everything Surely he still has access to shitposts and memes and wikipedia. That is almost everything. /j
What does Isreal have on America that the US well sanction an individual for an arrest warrant on a none US citizen.
Fuck the US the world should have not centralized on one country but it's to late as any competing company well just be bought by the American ones. Contries shoudl have been blocking the purchases.
Also it doesn't matter what a country does for laws as the American companies have to follow American laws no matter what.
We are so fucked.
What does Isreal have on America that the US well sanction an individual for an arrest warrant on a none US citizen.
The American evangelicals who pull a lot of the puppet strings within the GOP are convinced that Isreal is critically important to (their interpretation of) the biblical plan for Jesus to come back.
In their eyes, anything that they believe might interfere with that needs to be stopped.
They view this as a religious duty.
