A single random picture isn't actual evidence of this happening at all.

I saw this in a Canadian article as well.

People check to see if they're American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn't have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.

I donโ€™t believe this. The average Canadian/Eurooean is not aware of associated situation.

Edit: ok so the Canadians seem to have a proper movement going.

With the average European however I stand my ground, most are not aware or gaf

Canadian here, everyone is talking about it and going out of their way to buy Canadian. Fuck the US and all their idiots.

The average European is following this more closely than their own countries politics.

Thatโ€™s just our lemmy bubble I think. The human tends to overestimate societyโ€™s opinion on the topics they are invested in, imo

[โ€“] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No. Thats based off people I know and talk to irl.

America: declares economic war vs the entire world.

Americans: "Good thing people don't pay attention to things that directly effect them"

It's like they expect everyone else to be as ignorant as they are.

[โ€“] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Its far more entertaining than whats happening here anyway.

Clearly you aren't from around here then. Everyone I've talked to is avoiding American products and I've personally seen upside-down items. Maaaaaaybe you shouldn't make statements about the average Canadian if you're not informed.

[โ€“] sit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Youโ€™re right! Gonna consider that in the future

[โ€“] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Much appreciated!
