    The useful shit is the big money deals.

    When the US (or their Ukrainian assets) blew up Nord Stream Europeans cheered and opted to become dependant on US LNG. Turns out that was stupid.

    They sign unfavorable trade deals and accept tariffs.

    They buy extremely expensive F35s and the likes.

    They host US military bases.

    So yeah, not buying from McDonalds isn’t the big middle finger to US you think it is.

      Yeah, fair, hard to argue that everyone should put in their piece when the governments are still doing business as usual with them. I still think consumer boycotts are a net positive, even if mostly performative, not much else the average person can do, and that’s no reason to give up

        Ofc it’s a net positive. This guy has a hard on for what-about-ism.

        You and I cant sign trading deals, but we can stop buying US products. Wtf are we supposed to do more?

          I love how libs throw around whataboutism as if it was anything other than exposing themselves as having a different set of standards for themselves and others.

          fr, I dunno what his personal plan is either. I think he probably just doesn’t want to give up burger king or whatever and wants to blame politicians for his addiction lol
