    I don't know if I should thank god for not being from the US, or to be upset with god that I have to deal with so many fucking US idiots all the time. Their entitlement and arrogance know no borders, just like their imperialism. amerikkka

      We're raised to be so smugly full of shit here, talking about world politics in myopic terms of individual psychology, reducing the course of human events to "is this a good guy or a bad guy?". Doesn't need to be more conplicated than that, because by that point in the conversation the waiter has usually arrived and we got to sound very smart and sophisticated while we were waiting for the treats.

    Lol "dunking on America". Nobody hates America more than Americans... It's like going to an orphanage and making fun of the kids for not having nicer things.

    Try to dunk on our shitty politicians creating and sustaining these problems if you want to do some good for a change.

      I know. I live there.

      Show

      It's like going to an orphanage and making fun of the kids for not having nicer things.

      Except I live in that "orphanage" and it terrorizes the rest of the world with its foreign policy.

      Try to dunk on our shitty politicians creating and sustaining these problems if you want to do some good for a change.

      I not only regularly dunk on the shitty politicians, but their bourgeois benefactors as well.

      if you want to do some good for a change.

      if I want to do some good I'm going to need to do a lot more than just "dunk," and I'm gonna need a lot of help. El pueblo, unido, jamas sera vencido

      Off the top of my head 🇨🇺 🇰🇵 🇮🇶 🇦🇫 (I've been listening to Blowback). Either you are ignorant or the people of these countries that have all seen no less than a million dead each at amerikkka 's sword have more patience than you can imagine from any American. After writing it out maybe you're right.

    Maybe "North America" or USA being more accurate. There are many other countries than just USA in the word "America" if you have forgotten.

      I don't.

      And many of those that do are not given a realistic choice.

      If you're one of those smug liberal assholes that expects leftists to weave their own shoes before they're allowed to have an opinion, we've heard that bullshit before. It's not new to us and it's tiresome.

      boycotts are a useful tool in concert with an organized political movement (like BDS or a striking workers union) but can be counterproductive on their own:

      The revolution will not be bought: Ethical consumption is seductive but dangerous to the values ethical consumers seek to promote

      In short, a strong belief that ethical consumption will lead to ethical practices is not warranted – purchasing as voting is a weak feedback mechanism at best and there are other actors who are able to influence the system. The danger, however, comes in believing that this mechanism can make substantial political change. Ethical consumption gives the individual the illusion of contributing to progress; of “doing their part” by making purchasing decisions. This illusion can detract, and probably has detracted, from trying to put forward an avowedly political agenda that seeks to mobilise people collectively to make the changes they support. Instead, it individualises ethics, it individualises politics and it reaffirms us as consumers rather than citizens – it is a part of the profit-maximising, pathologically-externalising neoliberal market system that has caused many of the problems ethical consumerism seeks to alleviate, rather than being an alternative.

      Amazon defeated their entire fucking purpose.

      I had prime. I used to be able to get some things in maybe two days. Now most of the shit you order says prime shipping but then shows up a week later.

      So then why bother, because the shipping is free? I've gone back to Newegg for a lot of electronic stuff just because it doesn't even matter anymore and I'd rather support someone else every now and again.

      What do you think should be done? And does it involve organizing a campaign to boycott every large company in existence as its first priority? Just to have a moral high ground?

      You can't buy a candy bar in this country without facilitating child slavery in the global south. You expect people living paycheck to paycheck to vote with their wallet and defeat capitalism?
