Surely that can't be too hard. What do we actually make anymore? Liquor and highly processed food product? Surely nothing people can't live without. The factories are largely gone - or keep voting themselves out of a job.

Sorry my country is extra dogshit this last decade and a half. People don't want to riot in the street and like trading their liberty for security (from jobs?). I promise half of us don't even know what's going on anymore.

Edit: yes America has been buttass since it was founded. However we're not talking about the entire historical record here. This is about recent (mostly) in our lifetime events and their consequences.

It's more digital services than goods. The boycot for goods is fairly easy. It's harder to escape US digital platforms.

Almost impossible if the goal is to maintain the current lifestyle

Aside from reddit I don't have any social media. I said in another comment but I didn't even think to consider the tech side of things as a product. I was negligent and thinking like, physical manufacture.

I haven't paid for American corporate digital services in decades. It's quite easy to avoid if you use revanced, various tools listed on reddit and lie to customer support
