      Not buying American products. Supporting political candidates that support Ukraine (that’s more relevant in other countries, in the UK support for Ukraine is pretty much universal even in the extreme right-wing parties, UK doesn’t like Russia).

      Presumably you want me to charge the Bastille though.

              I am all for punching nazis.

              However, I think what seems- key after seeing how people can be manipulated into voting against their own interests and instead for things like Brexit and MAGA… people can be really fucking stupid - and if they’re convinced that actually it’s this other reason they’re being told is the cause of their problems…. Them receiving a punch to the face means they shut off from any possibility of reasonable explanation and deprogramming. Idk. I just think what’s happening right now is a lot more nuanced than your vitriol presents. I don’t think we can punch our way out of this problem.

              Good for you, but as I already said I’m not American, I’m not in America, so I can’t vote in your elections and I can’t talk to republican voters because there aren’t any here. There are plenty of right-wing voters in the UK but they have completely different priorities to US Republicans, they’re not equivalent.

              So what else can I do being so remote?

                  Yeah you’re moving the goal posts now.

                  I said what I’m doing to protest. Then you said “that’s not good enough you are effectively only boycotting Coca-Cola” (Which by the way makes no sense because Coca-Cola in Europe is made in Europe not in the US.) Literally that is effectively what you said.

                  Then I asked you what you wanted me to do in addition to “boycotting Coca-Cola” and you went on a random tangent about what Americans can do. I’m not American, and when I pointed out to you I’d already told you I wasn’t American l, you randomly decided that I’d accused you of being American, which I didn’t, and then decided to change the terms of the conversation to be about what people in general can do.

                  Talk about intellectual dishonesty.
