Summary
An international boycott against US goods is intensifying across Canada, Europe, and beyond in reaction to authoritarian policies and trade tariffs under Trump’s second administration.
Consumer boycotts have notably hurt Tesla, exacerbated by Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration, causing Tesla’s share price to plummet.
Cultural boycotts, including canceled tours and rejected US-made products, are widespread, reflecting anger over US policies and Trump’s stance on Ukraine.
Analysts emphasize this unprecedented backlash signals declining global trust in the US, with a shift towards ethical consumerism driven by political anger and activism.
Good. As an American, I say we need this. We have shown the world our cowardly, ignorant stripes by electing Donald Trump as our president for the second time, after witnessing the shit-show of his first term; clearly, we have not learned our lesson. We deserve to be abandoned by our allies for how our chosen president is treating them.
I’m not ashamed, as I voted for Kamala against Trump, but clearly too many of my countrymen need a wake-up call.
I used to be very patriotic and believed in America. I’m now ready for it to shatter and for the states to go our own separate ways. The American experiment is over.
That’s not going to help anything. It’s not a red state vs blue state divide, it’s cities vs rural areas. That’s not a problem you can solve with new borders.
One thing about boycotting the likes of Amazon is that I realize that I don’t need any more junk.
Love to see this! Not sure it will gain enough momentum though. I think it will cost too many economies too much to boycott US markets for an extended amount of time.
Ya know, call me cynical, but I think being boycotted by the entire world will make it very difficult for us to make money.
Yeah, so far, I’m really missing how we are becoming great again.
We’re a great asset to Putin.
Yeah, I’m sure trump and Elon are nailing all of their S.M.A.R.T. Goals with Putin
Avoiding American goods is fairly easy and not very impactful. Avoiding American services is where it’s at.
I’m in Canada and yes, US grocery items are very easy to avoid. I cancelled netflix/disney/amazon. But yeah I’m still using gmail/android and this one may be hard to avoid…
Hell, I’ll buy Canadian. Alaska is closer to them anyway.
