France has a sneaker brand called Le Coq. Why would anyone buy Nike when they can show off their Le Coq is beyond me.

You don’t have to be perfect, just try your best to avoid anything made in the US. If it’s unavoidable, don’t stress it, just buy the absolute least you can get away with, while looking for EU alternatives.

wrote 19 days ago last edited byIt’s true, just a couple of changes reflects on their books. One “this instead of that” per person goes a long way.

Any American who sides with the EU should pack up and leave. Buy American. Die European.

They are welcome to come here. I wouldn't wanna live in a country with someone like Trump either.

As an American, who the fuck even has to be told that, by now? If you know what’s going on, you have an obligation to make American corporations shriek their fucking heads off as they hemorrhage profits.
As an American:
FFS STOP BUYING AMERICAN!

I think sometimes people on here forget we have been filtered out of general society first by joining Reddit and then by moving here we are sort of in a liberal echo chamber.
When I interact with regular friends IRL, they don’t care and they really don’t understand what’s happening with the world. So it’s a good thing Macron is sayin this as it spreads the message.

I think it's a bit hard for most people when there's such an abundance of goods and services and nobody really knows where everything comes from.
wrote 19 days ago last edited byIt wasn't until all this kicked off that I learned just how many companies that I thought were European were in fact owned by American conglomerates.
Which makes MAGA's "the world is taking advantage of America" rhetoric all the more infuriatingly hypocritical. You spent decades using the strong dollar to go on a massive global shopping trip buying up every other country's companies, and are now crying foul that those companies you own are supplying their local markets instead of importing from the US?

I am confused if this is a low effort trolling attempt or if people's ideas are legitimately this easily swayed by internal propaganda.

How is Macron so based? I, as a German, used to hate on France, but they are holy based the last months
