Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern Europe
-
Same, my wife and girlfriend told me about it before I found out here. Seems to be spreading on TikTok.

In South Africa, the law determines that if something's labeled "Product of South Africa" it can't have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).
"Produced in South Africa" can have imported ingredients - and I've been most of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It's easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles, tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

Interesting, thanks
-
Not to discount your perspective, but I think it's important to also acknowledge the close connection that you have.
My spouse is much more tuned in to things like this than many of their peers, not necessarily because they have more interest, but because we have a close relationship and so we share stuff a lot.

Pretty sure Brave is American.
It's also sketchy.

American here: genuinely, go for it. If you want to be even more highly targeted, you can also take a page out of Canada’s book: they’re encouraging people to target things that are produced in red states specifically, in addition to a general push for a boycott. Bourbon (from Kentucky), for instance.

Sorry, but usa is indeed very much more evil than most other countries
UK is a monarchy, Italy is ruled by a fascist pm, France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. Are we supposed to buy goods only from corporations in iceland?
-
Do you think the boycott of South Africa was a bad idea?
I'm not familiar with South Africa which boycott?
-
Petition your governments to drop IP laws for US tech companies like Doctorow is encouraging. If the US isn't going to honor trade agreements, hit us right in our gold plated scrotum.

That little apartheid thingy.

Why outside those services?
You really think it's not possible yet? -
FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy, it's just a question of age/generation I guess
-
That must be difficult, you're going through a lot and I'm here if you need someone to talk to.
-
I use the 'No Thanks' app, but only as a starting point to then confirm if what they say it's true. I don't like that it's closed source, but at least it's an option. Also, I should note that some brands are ethical in some countries or states, but not globally, so you should check local resources for better results 🧐
-
As an American here, I think I might join them. Start buying more Canadian goods.

If you want, Moscow is the Mars I hope he ends up abandoned on the planet with no one to talk to except Matt Damon

Hah, same.
