Def doing so. I stopped using US-owned social media altogether, and no longer buy American products. Friends whom I know also stopped investing in the US and moved to European ESGs and SRIs.

    Yep, many are divesting in USA companies, and bringing their money to the EU.

    Yup, and to avoid another US 2.0, it's advisable to invest in worker-owned co-operatives, into independent, investigative journalism, and pro-democratic, antifascist movements. Be critical of algorithms that foster polarisation and right-wing sentiment.

    More democracy means better business, better labour, better wellbeing environments. Social wellbeing pays off greatly.

    Exactly. Get a subscription on a good newspaper, it helps protect independent journalism. Become a party member, and make sure to vote. Naturally, that is not reeeeally a US boycott, but this is the right time to adjust your personal strategy.
