We deserve it
post
Please avoid our businesses and produces like the plague. Because you're giving money to pure evil.
Edit: and for my fellow Americans... Stop buying shit you don't need. Seriously, Christmas and birthdays need to be fucking canceled! Stop buying pumpkins spiced bullshit, TVs, and entertainment. Go cold turkey on all the shit they've tricked you into needing and wanting. Voting with our dollar might be our last chance at a peaceful change of values in our country. You don't need fabric softener, but the oligarchy needs you to keep buying so they can take more wealth. The money you spend on shit you don't need doesn't help anyone but the wealthy. Very little of the money everyday America spends circulates in our communities in an additive way. Build community not corporations.
If a huge group of people had the discipline to consume less, they could do even more good by not voting for Capitalists every election. Then they could have their cake and eat it too.
I am assuming a theoretical world where we have millions of people dedicated to mass action. In that world if those people were committed to not voting for Dems or Republicans and instead voting for any of the various socialist candidates at every governmental level, we would have a fully socialist (albeit different flavors of socialism) society in 6 years.
Obviously this is fantasy as people are not a collective, and passive participation in society results in "lesser of two evils" voting behavior and neuters any potential boycott pressure. Thus the status quo is propagated.
You’re assuming a theoretical world where we have ranked choice voting and therefore some third or fourth party can even win. That is the first step.
I stopped buying as many American products as I could, but food even more so after they gutted the safety checks. I don't want your unsafe Nazi products here.
Americans don't want them here either, but Fascists have taken over. They are a minority of the population but have manipulated the dummies and our very flawed election process to impose their will on the rest of us.
There was that franchise owner who invited Trump to pretend to make fries and serve fake guests, but what was the other event?
Their food has gone horrible anyway so I have not been to McDonald's in months.
Their food was was always horrible, but it was cheap, and that combo worked for me. Now they cost the same better quality restaurants, so I go there instead. I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since 2002-ish. Are you saying their food somehow got even worse?

Cheap but horrible food has never been worth it to me. When I was a broke teen and up until college, my friends and I would go to McDonald's for food but I only get the paprika-seasoned twisty fries in my country, chicken wrap, apple pie and the occasional cheeseburger. They were the only good McDonald's food. Now, cheeseburger has gone shit and so is the chicken wrap. The apple pie is still good but I could get better alternative somewhere else. And the twisty fries had been taken off the menu. The only reason I remained going to McDonald's until recently was because their breakfast menu was great. But as you guessed it, it became horrible as well.
Same here it’s been a decade or 2. I started making my own version of the McMuffin at home. Cant beat deli ham, brown eggs and real brick cheese with real maple syrup on a whole wheat English muffin. Takes less than 10 mins while the hash browns are also cooking in the air fryer. I noticed when I ate McSmegs I was hungry about 1/2 hr later. 2-3 hrs with home made.
Been years for me, I seen the 7yr old burger when my kids were young, now their adults and I still haven't well over 10yrs at least
As an American I hate us more and more each year.
good. that's patriotism right there
Any good American should despise what America represents right now.
The founding fathers certainly would.
the founding fathers would probably have a heart attack seeing that women and black people have some rights
Some would. But many were progressive even then. They recognized the dangers of slavery, but felt that the southern states joining war against the north was unwinnable. So they pushed the problem off for another generation to handle.
i'm joining the war on rising anti-american sentiment on the side of rising anti-american sentiment
Canada here. In our house we're still not buying anything American because their president threatened to invade and annex our country, and the government have yet to walk it back or even apologize. And even if the president of America did back off and say sorry, he's a rapist and a pedophile so he can still go fuck himself.
I don't think the powers-that-be in the US realize quite how much damage they've done to international relations lately. This isn't the sort of thing they can just say sorry for and expect to go back to normal once Trump is dead and everyone is pretending they didn't enable him for the last decade.
Please keep it up. It's the only kind of support we deserve right now.
The issue is legitimately that they're all a bunch of massively racist fucks and were told for over a decade how the world saw us as a laughing stock (because we had a black man as president), despite being ridiculously popular on the world stage, and so they think just by having a rich white asshole suddenly we're respected again, even though he's truly the biggest laughing stock ever.
People don't remember tariffs from 9 years ago. People will never remember what's important.
I'm becoming anti-American, and I'm American. I totally understand why the rest of the world hates us. I don't blame them at all.
"Why do they all hate us?" wailed the guy literally pissing on a bunch of people snarling at him for some odd reason.
All must bow to the fat and lazy
The fuck you, obey me, and why do they hate me? (Who me?)
You had no way to know it, but you have just addressed a profound travesty: You see, this is the first time I've heard of Brother Ali.
...And this is some exceptionally good shit. Thanks, man!

Gee I wonder where that could've stemmed from?
I'm american and am so fucking ashamed of this place right now. Hoping for aliens to come down --since they always land in the US-- and just start blasting...
I'm not sure that these companies or Americans in general haven't considered the notion that the damage will be permanent. They can punt Trump, but that would do zero to alter the machinery in place that gave him the presidency.
There's about one third or more eligible American voters who will without fail, sit on their asses and not vote. Two Trump regimes won't inspire these ratfucks to vote. The Democrats seem to be doing anything and everything other than tapping into the obvious stuff that AOC and Mamdani campaign on. And about one third of Americans want to be MAGA! forever, like having herpes.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world has to suffer while fucks like Rupert Murdoch and Peter Thiel run their show for them.
Yep, the trade war that trump carried out with China in his first term led to China buying a lot fewer soybeans from the US, instead turning to Brazil (now even more with the second trade war). Since this time his trade war isn't limited to China, many more countries are finding alternatives. It's much harder to gain business than it is to retain it and even harder to regain business when lost.
US corporations were happy to support trump because he'd cut taxes and regulations on them, but that won't outweigh all the business lost internationally. Instead US corporations will be relying on squeezing Americans even harder in an attempt to make up for that lost business. I suppose that's the true meaning of "America first".
This American knows the damage is permanent. Unless we implement some stringent election reforms there’s no longer a guarantee that our president won’t completely reverse course.
I agree the damage is permanent, for much the same reason. A huge chunk of the populace thought Trump was a good idea. Then after that unmitigated parade of disasters, thought he was a good idea a second time, and a third. Those people are not going anywhere, and whatever it is that is causing that catastrophic failure of reasoning, or even self interest, isn't either.
Sucks to suck.
They spent billions of dollars and decades avoiding competition at all costs.
We can't have good cars or phones or anything really. All our appliances are designed to break so you have to buy another. Planned obsolescence. Enshitification.
Whenever I have a choice I avoid US products and I'm American. Because the products are either designed to fail or just worse. And for a higher price.
"worsening views of America are rapidly taking a toll on some brands' health."
Good.
The only thing the US cares about our understands is money, so fuck every American business supporting this administration.
As a Canadian I have never been so insulted and betrayed in my life, and Americans laugh it off or just altogether do not understand why we're angry.
And I wouldn't say my perspective is anti American, I know a lot of good American people. I'm very much anti Trump and also very angry that as a group Americans delegated their votes by staying home or voted republican.
I've ditched google, Netflix, etc. I dropped my Apple subscriptions (and bought linux computer). I don't buy any American food brands, I've moved my clothes purchases to Canadian brands.
The only US brand I still support is Costco, and even then I'm checking the labels.
I also have a few holdout things I haven't replaced, but I am working on it every week.
You won't survive. I don't know what we'll come but countries can not trust America anymore. You have become unreliable and trump getting tossed doesn't stop that fact. But saying that I can t believe how much countries are still sucking America's dick.
I’d say the issues can be fixed, but who knows if it happens really. I’d say a major problem is the same issues can appear elsewhere if other countries don’t take proactive steps to avoid the our issues. Things K-12 education needs to be well funded and free to all, even college education should be publicly funded. Implementing government restrictions on social media influencers and media companies that don’t adhere to something like the Fairness Doctrine. Splitting up monopolies or big conglomerates that try to take hold. Willingness for the government to go into debt to fund the future via more public transit options, nuclear power plants, and more public housing.
Maybe what pisses me off so much about the Trump admin is that they forget everything that made America great in the first place.
It isn’t that Americans were chosen by god or anything like that. It’s that America fought for freedom and democracy, and those ideas allowed the people and economy to flourish (I won’t downplay that taking vast swathes of land from natives and slavery also helped build America).
Who could read the poem on the Statue of Liberty and say that America is just for a chosen few? The whole American dream was that you could go there and get a fair slice of the pie.
They forget about how the Irish were treated with the same disdain they throw at Latino people. They forget that their ancestors had to work.
They’re just so fucking spoiled, like a bratty child that has had everything handed to them assuming they’re special and forgetting they stand on the backs of all those before them.
I don’t think he (or his handlers) was ever speaking for Americans as a population when talking about making America great again. He was speaking for the rich and powerful who are yearning for the gilded age, with its company towns and Pinkertons and extreme wealth concentration.
The rise of the middle class and the democratization of rule has been a big bummer for them.
They already were in a gilded age. Look at how many fucking billionaires there are.
Yeah, but it isn’t great enough yet. The populace isn’t poor and desperate enough and there’s still room for more corruption in government.
But the democrats threatened to make them pay just a little bit more in taxes, like 2.5% more, so BOOM, fascism!
Dems never actually threatened that, though.
They threatened the working class, instead. Kept moving to the right, tossing queer peeps under the bus, tossing immigrants under the bus, etc etc.
Even now, the Dems are attacking progressives harder than they attack the Reich Wing.
Biden did threaten that, though, and his head of SEC actually started to go after a lot of tech monopolies. You are referring to the overarching democratic party. I was referring to the previous democratic admin.
Did he or did he just provide pablum for the plebiscite?
"Nothing will fundamentally change" doesnt sound like a threat to me.
America has been a third world country for decades now. The only reason that it hasn't felt like it is because there's so much money still circulating in our economy from helping the world rebuild after WW2 and selling military equipment and culture during the Cold War (plus the whole American Empire thing, can't forget that). By all the metrics that are used to rate the quality of health of a country - things like infrastructure quality, wealth inequality, healthcare costs and CoL vs income - the US is much closer to third world countries than to comparable European countries.
As somebody once said, America is a third world country in a Prada belt.
I relish watching US produce rot and slowly get replaced with alternatives from other countries up here in Canada.
Keep it up. The US can fuck right off.

It's like a metaphor or something.
they finally changed the wall of pickles at my local grocer around. used to be 80% bick's. now it's 20%
Costco unfortunately still sells bick's. but they also sell some muuuuch better stuff that isn't american, so at least it's not just the one option
Anti-american sentiment is largely justified. There's concentration camps and masked men kidnapping people off the street. People are proudly wearing the maga-hat symbols of trumpism.
As an American, good. We have too many chuckle-fucks here who live in their own bubbles, thinking America can do whatever the fuck it wants without consequence, like we're not all a part of the same global stage. We deserve every ounce of criticism we're getting.
This guy fucks
Nice username you got there
There has been rising anti-American sentiment for decades. (Deservedly in many cases.) What they are sounding the alarm over is that Trump has edged it across the line where they have to care.
The reaction to Mangione was an indicator, and the oligarchs saw it even if the politicians didn't. Same thing here, IMO.


These stupid cunts didn't realize he was unpopular when they were doing photo ops during the campaign? Let them suffer.
Even as an American, I'm avoiding American products. Now. Please give me foreign option for 1/2 the price that will still last about as long.
To be fair, roughly half the country didn't vote in the last election, 49.2% to be more precise.
Voter suppression is generally very high so I won't blame those people who couldn't vote for any of the many reasons that the US uses, but a choice not to vote is an implicit endorsement.
To be REALLY fair, the election was stolen. From the instant the election was over, the Dems were pronouncing that the election was fair & square, before they could even investigate and determine if that were true. Then they started endorsing the concept that there were millions of voters in swing states who voted straight Democratic tickets, except they voted Trump at the top. MILLIONS!
And yet, I've never heard of a single voter who did that. There are undoubtedly some, but they are as rare as white squirrels. Not one person has come forward in the media to claim to be one of those split ticket voters.
I suggest that they don't exist, at least not in the millions, or even the thousands. It would be interesting to see how many of those ballots exist in Swing States, as compared to non-swing states. I would bet that we would find them almost exclusively in the Swing States, because those were the states Trump had to win, and somehow, he implausibly won them all. I'll bet there are almost none of those ballots in states that weren't in contention.
Dems should do that investigation, and then we'll know if those split ticket voters really exist, or if those were the DOGE Goblins at work.
Choosing not to vote in the last election was a form of voting, imo.
I'm pretty happy with the outcome. The more America is weakened, the better for the rest of the world and the easier it will be to rebuild to something better.
I would still hate the USA if Blue MAGA was doing a genocide and immigration crackdowns and jingoistic hypermilitarism.
How are you any better than a neonazi? Either you outright support a modern day holocaust or you are in denial of it. I genuinely don't understand how a supposed human being can be so low. Americans in general are just disgusting people all around. Your beloved holocaust-loving candidate also ran on being "tough on the border" and having the "most lethal military in the world." You people are just jingoistic, ultranationalist fascist freaks, completely brainwashed by your state and incapable of having a shred of empathy for others, gleefully cheering at the dismemberment of hundreds of thousands of babies and begging for just more militarization and aggression while your country is falling the fuck apart. Wake up. Normal human beings with a conscience who are not part of your brainwashed jingoistic bubble aren't fine with industrial-scale genocide and endless war just because the person who does it is blue, but I know you brainwashed Americans cannot possibly even grasp that idea because the ultranationalistic brainwashing has rendered you incapable of conscious thought.
Major US brands can and should die in a fire
A clean burning BURNCO^tm^ fire of course.
