I disagree. I think it’s helping punish the USA, which is exactly what it deserves for threatening not only much of the world, but also Canada directly. It seems like the perfect response that they boycott Las Vegas, and the entire country and its products.
This is glorious and I’m convinced!
The Proton CEO Andy Yen tweeted support for Trump’s Department of Justice pick last year and a shitstorm suddenly appeared.
It was a pretty tone-deaf tweet, but it most certainly doesn’t mean that Proton or its CEO support the Trump regime.
Below is an article analyzing the entire episode, and before that a direct quote from the article if you want to get the basic idea with out reading the entire thing…
“However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite.”
The Palestinians have suffered more than enough, and the US is entirely complicit in that suffering already.
Fuck that shit. We don’t want your garbage. That country has already shit on us enough for generations.
I knew a teacher who would have English students read Trump speeches in class just to see if they could find complete sentences.
It’s the pilot of a sitcom in which a goofy husband and hard nosed wife blah blah zzzzzzzzzz……
I run into people all the time who use the term “America” without at all meaning that country wedged between Mexico and Canada. Los Estados Unidos is often how you’ll hear the nation state referred to in Latin America, whereas “America” usually refers to the entire hemisphere.
It always blew my mind that the USA colonized the word America to have it refer only to themselves. How fucking on-brand is that?
I’ll give you this; historically, they’re at least as real as the concept of whiteness.
Fuck, that last bit cracked me up. Consider it stolen.
I fully agree with you, but add the additional point that countries are fictions as well.

I greatly prefer reading that to “boutta.”
Fair enough. I’ve read their articles over the years here and there whenever I happen to come across them, though I don’t recall ever looking at their opinion pieces. Great tip about the RSS backdoor!
Right on!
I’d be curious to know why, since “sucks” didn’t give me quite enough context, oddly enough.
I’d love to know why anyone is downvoting this. Truly curious what’s to dislike here.
This is an outstanding list of resources. Thanks so much for posting. I wish more people would engage with stuff like this instead of clutching their liberal pearls. The Nepalese showed how to actually protest a corrupt government. All power to the people.
Riot Medicine is an incredible resource and even I could make sense of it as a full-time idiot. Crimethinc are the poets of a generation who few people seem to know about despite being around for many years, and of course the Anarchist Library is one of the great online resources. Shout out to Serafinski.
Because as everyone online knows, all discussions on the internet do and must relate to the US. Even if they briefly appear not to relate to the US and its shit govt, don’t worry, some insular American will pull the discussion right back where it belongs.
I swear to fucking hell, someone could post about oatmeal and within a dozen comments someone else would link it to Trump.
All good. Just thought the “doesn’t help” might mean you didn’t appreciate the boycott. Good work on your own boycott.
Boycotts and a general strike by US citizens are the only things that might get through to the White House.
