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.

I waa arguing this back decades ago and got no where, same as now. Stupidity, apathy and greed.
I wouldn't say it's dependent on it, but it's a very good way to control people. The uber-rich are using it very successfully to divide and conquer. By redistributing wealth, there would be much less fear in the world.
Our banking and healthcare systems are American-controlled.
Banking, sure, but healthcare? As in everything is hosted on US controlled servers?
There's DRM on medical equipment, for starters.
Keep in mind by controlled I mean that America can with the stroke of a pen revoke our access to health care systems. I don't know the specifics of a healthcare system's infrastructure provide many examples.
Totally dependent on it, computers,networking equipment, OS for computers, the cloud we are very dependent on American Tech.
Yes and I thought why the hell is the world letting this happen. And if another country has a succesful product Americans just purchase it.
