Boycott them. The less money they get from us, the harder it is for them.

They seem to be doing a pretty good job of fucking things up with no input ..

Sitt and watch with a delicious cup of coffee is my take on it

There is an entire article about that! https://theonion.com/fbi-uncovers-al-qaeda-plot-to-just-sit-back-and-enjoy-c-1819576375/

Responding to the allegations, a spokesperson for al-Qaeda reportedly confirmed the terror group’s plot and praised the American people as martyrs of the highest order.

Donate to Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and Palestine, as much as you can to make sure their attacks do as little as possible. Organize on the ground in parties like PSL. Agitate against the millitary industrial complex, follow in the footsteps of Palestine Action. Undermine NATO, which is helping the attacks and is a tool of western imperialism. Try to pivot to solar, and take up gardening to weather the storm of the closure of the strait of Hormuz. Support Iran against Zionists.

On the gardening thing: if you don't know where to start, potatoes are so easy I've grown them by accident

And both healthy and tasty!

I'm close to being 100% us-free. If everyone else was too, they'd be begging for breadcrumbs instead of owning us in their ecosystem of total dominance.

Even if everyone did, not every business would. Shell would buy American oil in a heartbeat.

I was even just thinking of the consumers. But sure, corpo does not give a flying fuck :-)

The Canadians have been boycotting MAGA businesses for a year now and if the Americans joined, we would be reading out bankruptcies and chaos on the MAGA world. Money talks, especially to MAGA.

Direct action like destroying a US or Israeli weapons factory is most efficient. Else boycotting the US and Israel is a decent individual action.
