Boycott US

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.

You are so upset about socialists. Piker was a nobody until Mamdani won and then a slough of other socialist candidates. Sewer socialism, look it up. You're childish argument that "socialists" are all hippies with no money in communes is out of touch with the reality of modern labour and common solidarity. Straight out of a John Birch Society propaganda film from the 1960s. Framing this like OH the billionaires have a populist socialist so he makes money and is therefore invalid is just so ignorant. Lots of union bosses are rich AF, and so are their members and you're a scab for doing this sophistry online.
Do you mean when he won his election for the New York State Assembly? Even before that, he was at least known for being the nephew of Cenk who had videos on the TYT network even before back in the 2010's, but certainly nowhere near as well-known as he was in 2020-now.
Pay attention, I'm actually saying the exact opposite of that. Socialists tend to be wealthy people that have gone to university that learned from weird professors that "actually real socialism has never been tried because Russia was agrarian blah blah blah".
Everyone is a bit socialist when they're younger. I was. But I grew out of it, because I talked to people that have lived under these systems and learn more about how politics really work.
The Internet has caused a lot of arrested development in people. You've posted your opinions under your name and formed social groups around those opinions. So you, Hasan, everyone in your online community can't change your opinions when you're exposed to new facts because if you did you'd be ostracized by your community. The Hasan community is particularly malicious about this and engage in online harassment campaigns. So not only are people in the Hasan community are worried about losing friendships if they change their opinion on anything, they're afraid of the community they're a part of. That's kinda fashy if you ask me.
That's the nature of online communities. They coalesce around dumb ideas and then calcify. When you get people in the community to hate a group of people (whether it's trans people or Jews, it's all hate) then they take on fascist characteristics.
