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.

Meanwhile most everything on Amazon is on aliexpress for half the price, and Taobao for a quarter of the price.

dry/canned food is usually cheaper and in more variety on Amazon than at local grocery stores, and I lwouldn't trust AliExpress with food

And the EU have blanket taxed everything from there; now I have to buy of Amazon to avoid the taxes.

Which feels like it was the goal of those tariffs.

At least Amazon is local seller while Aliexpress and Taobao is 100% from china. If getting stuff cheap is your goal regardless the long term economic impact, go for it.

Edit: on the other hand, Taobao/aliexpress might actually have the thing you want that you can't find in Amazon.
