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.

OSMand on the smartphone.

And brouter.web for planning bike commutes.

Canadia really are in no position to call others fascists anyway.

Icl I never personally fully agreed with their govt's politics, but at least they can stand on fucking business, unlike their conservatives. Imagine if Poland just bent over backwards when Hitler invaded, instead of fighting. How can you fully question your own sovereignty like that, especially to a "country" that "gained their independence" from YOU.

How can Keir Starmer not show unwavering support to a country that not only shares a head of State but also as a Commonwealth nation. UK politicians showing way too much support to a country that couldn't give a toss about them. Canada should be demanding the land they once had back from the US, and Mexico should demand the land that the US stole from them.

gained their independence” from YOU.

TF are you talking about? I'm Belgian.
I KNOW they have a lot of fascist ukrainian influence historically and now even more with Trumpist influence from their twin brother the US.
Not to mention the awful treatment of indigenous people to this day.
Shouldn't make unfunded assumptions.

How does one realistically move away from Google maps?

U.S. citizen here. Don’t even blame you. Just to be clear, we hate this too. Maybe Canada can save us.

US the 11th Canada province when?

What are you replacing google maps with? I've been getting more and more annoyed with it for a while.

It keeps wanting me to do U turns on ultra busy roads when I could just make a left turn at a light.

The recommendations are:

Organic Maps: walking/hiking/cycling.

Magic Earth: driving.

Osmand: advanced search.
