Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

The alternatives to Intel/AMD/Nvidia, Visa/Mastercard/American Express/Discover and IOS/Android need to be more developed.

I would suggest setting a self goal to switching to Postmarket OS in 2 years time then donate every month to ensure the development goes as far as possible.

I like your idea of setting self goals with a built-in reminder system. This is a mindset I’ve been trying to adopt more in my life and it’s been very successful when applied.

However I also want to counterbalance that against an impact of replacing my existing device which is not compatible with those and is a perfectly usable machine. Particularly because of the costs and the waste from upgrading devices before it’s needed.

But maybe I’m under-thinking this because of inertial and it just being easy to punt it to another day. I could sell my current device and buy a used compatible device and this wouldn’t be an excessive cost nor generation of electronic waste

Thank you for the push.
