Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe

Thank you!
As a Canadian, I have no problem supporting our EU friends.
And to be honest, just looking at the list you can tell that the ethics within those companies are completely different than what you find with the American alternatives.
Even without a dictator leading the States, buying European would still be better. š¤
Pretty wild, actually!

Like their whiskey!

The Canadian one has really taken off. Its not just on Lemmy. Im seeing more Canadian products on the checkout line than ever before and Ive even started seeing rotting American produce at our local store.
Everyone I talk to irl is limiting their US product purchases. Canadians are pissed.
-
Good and the Orange Shitstain wants the EU to import more US made goods.
-
With the exception of nextcloud and firefox, those are all crap.

I deleted Netflix yesterday. Was a bit more challenging than the other ones. We have sort of always had Netflix here in Norway.
Now we subscribe to a Norwegian service that includes Britbox instead. It has some US shows as well, but mainly European

It was low res. Thanks for the link. It was high res there

"Calls for Europe to stop eating garbage food like Americans."
Sounds like a good idea to me. -
Facebook makes a certain amount of money per person. It's probably not that high.
If they can easily gather and find simple quick replacements for US goods that probably affects the US economy more.
I don't use Facebook for this myself, but have made lots of changes effectively now moving large sums of money from US companies to EU equivalents. There are still some stuff left, but most things are changed.
I think that has a bigger effect and is a lot easier

Big holidays? America will be in a recession by Easter at this rate
-
We have our own garbage food. If you don't go to McDonald's or Burger King, you can go to Hesburger or whatever else your region has. Admittedly still inspired by American garbage food, but profits European companies.

Aren't there actually tiktok alternatives I'm the Fediverse, rather than suggesting something that's use case is different?
-
American cars are niche, but somewhat popular where I live. There's 3 companies specializing in selling and servicing American cars here in Estonia that I can think of right away, but probably more in total. But the new American car sales aren't very good because they're all so massive and expensive, the only target audience is people who like to show off AND have a lot of cash (or a lot of them are company cars tbh, you can register a big ass pick-up truck as an N1 cargo van and spend less tax if you use it for personal purposes, compared to using an M1 passenger car for personal purposes. Somehow. I don't remember the specifics)
-
That was my first thought. I want to find one that is smaller and distributed near me.
I might start with Crown Royal. At least the owning company is British (they also own my favorite American whiskey.)
-
Anyone else in northern Europe noticing that all the US products are the shitty ones you never buy anyway? I think the only American stuff I ever buy is steam games. No food. I was already boycotting Starbucks and MacDonalds over Palestine.
-
Hesburger? Interesting, I'll have to look that up, haven't heard of it.
-
Yeah, that Lemmy thing is extremely crap.
