Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes. I cut netflix and will not watch the end of Stranger Things, although I watched the first four seasons. Incidentally-not-coincidentally also because of Zionism on this one. Nor Avatar 3 currently in theatres while I saw the premieres of the first two. I operated a paradigm shift in my mind: despite all the good people in the US, fuck the American way of life forever. I am moving back to Korean polars for entertainment.

Edit: I will cherish my Jeff Buckley discography for life, but he's long gone so there's nothing new to boycott.

American Culture is Common Culture at this point...

For years, the United States has benefited most from globalization. They either don't admit it or don't realize it.

Include anche la lingua inglese. Da adesso su Lemmy si parla solo Italiano.

I'm from Russia, so I don't need to boycott American corporations myself, American corporations boycott me themselves. :D
It's a joke.

But in reality, I just try to minimize my purchases from multi-billion dollar corporations whenever possible. I prefer buying indie, open-source or custom. Nothing about culture. As others have already said, nowadays American culture is mostly common culture. Sometimes I think about buying a Chinese CPU or GPU. And in general, I have a pretty limited budget.

Mainly groceries. Games I almost exclusively buy second hand and media I… find…

Yes. It will include american culture. Im starting to "attack" businesses that push american culture. This includes cinemas.

American media told me for decades that the USA is awesome and the people are heroic do-gooders.

Turns out is was always White supremacy.

Fuck the US. Fuck US americans.

Yes, I’m boycotting across the board. It ain’t easy!

What is even "American culture" apart from mash-up of worlds immigrant cultures?

probably the most directly helpful boycott is one that ensures money is denied to US companies so they are motivated to lobby and change things to protect their bottom line (as a last resort of course, and maybe not at all)

cultural boycott is more extreme and less directly important to bringing about immediate political change, but is nonetheless probably an important part of bringing about rejection of US hegemony and dominance, so it's not a bad approach in addition to denying the US your money

Why would anyone boycott Native clothes, songs and dances?

In terms of tv movies etc moving it’s gonna be hard to make a lot look credible. The mask has slipped and we have now seen the true psyche of many. I watched the boys a few years ago. It seemed silly at the time.

While I'm not in favor of boycotting culture, I do feel like boycotting products and services that incorporate it.

So I try to buy boycotted cultural products secondhand whenever possible.

This way, I can legally obtain culture, but it prevents American companies from making any additional profits. (Naturally, I avoid using Amazon[.]com when making these purchases.)

The problem then arises when an American artist performs in the country where I live.

Naturally, experiential entertainment cannot be recorded, meaning it cannot be purchased secondhand. This issue determines whether a boycott is feasible based on how individual artists respond to corruption in the United States.

Separately, I also try to avoid cultural dependency on social media platforms such as YouTube and x[.]com by prioritizing domestic alternatives (such as Nico Nico Douga and mixi2).

When I travel I sometimes get sad seeing how far Western culture as come and changed societies, feels like the McWorld has won (Even as someone who aligns very much with that culture). Would be hypocritical to judge them though

I will never ever travel there.
My only travel to the US will be done using GTA and Cyberpunk2077. Don't need more.

I love Weimar America as much as I love Weimar Germany. ICE can have jazz, rock’n’roll, the beat poets, David Lynch, Prince, Bikini Kill, Calvin & Hobbes, etc. when they take them from my cold, dead fingers

America has so much to be proud of, and the current shit show the US government is right now should not be allowed to taint the great, music, art, or culture Americans have created. It is just a shame so much of what comes out of the US these days, and most western nations to be fair, is over processed landfill.

I'm hopeful for change, I just worry about my patience for it.

I am boycotting my selfhosting some services.
But only as long as it doesnt hinder me or my comfort.

I boycott economically. So I'll eat a hamburger, but not one from McDonald's, et al. I'm not even sure what boycotting a culture even means, nor what it would entail and/or accomplish.

So I don't buy anything that winds up lining the pockets of Americans. That's my boycott. This means that, for example, my next smartphone will not be running iOS or Android. It means I don't go to American chain restaurants or buy brands owned by American companies (even, perhaps especially, if they claim, like a certain famous brand of ketchup in Canada does with its tomatoes, to source the raw materials in the host country). It means that I will not pay to see an American movie, nor to listen to the music of an American band.

US americans don't have culture, the people and nations they oppress do, capitalists then comodify and export that

either way, while usa dominates english language entertainment, I don't pay for it anything I consume, and I'm exploring more non english language entertainment

Not sure if I'm boycotting culture or corporations.

I rarely watch any new movies or TV shows. I only pay for YouTube premium. I've a Korean made phone. I've started going out to Mexican, Vietnamese, Indian & Chinese restaurants more since cutting meat from my diet.

As much as I can, but of course that doesn't mean there's been a complete severance.* It was easy to not consider any of the American car manufacturers or Apple products, but there are many treats from the vending machine that are available, I bought some electronics (GPU, handheld, probably SteamMachine or SteamDeck in the future) so there's still room and not all merchandise or services are easily replaceable.

As for the culture, I follow some American influencers and there are some TV shows worthy of seeing (Dune and Andor come to mind). However in my case the American influence and their projected image has been waning ever since their attack on Iraq.

*I have no delusion that this is making a change in a financial sense, it's simply a matter that I can't support their acts.

I tried to not buy or encourage the awareness of american products in any form, unless the creator of that product is somebody that I wish to support and the product is good.

so yes, I will try to not spread the word of anything american, including culture topics, in an attempt to avoid promoting any spread of americanism

if I am thinking about consuming american content, I will obtain it via free means and not promote it, merely consume it quietly by myself

edit: I also tried to buy things at work through the Canadian supply chain as much as possible. not always possible, but I'm doing what I can

also I really can't see when I will ever return to the US. I think they would have to burn down the current system and start fresh for me to consider it. there's nowhere in the US that I need to travel where I couldn't travel within my country or to another country instead

I went to an American themed BBQ place a few weeks ago and thought about this. It's not a chain, it's a single place owned (I assume) by an American immigrant.

I should therefore support them as they have left America. (And it was really good! The soft drinks were weird though)

I don't see why someone would boycott nerd things from america or hippie things or such but like I could totally see boycotting stuff from the south and other conservative areas like country western music and certainly the flag or any other nationalistic shit.

this post comes off as too woke.
