@LongestPath I wonder, why boycott everything? Should the people who suffer under #Trump be punished too? Seems like strange nationalist rhetoric to #BuyFromEU.

I mean I agree to boycott big business, especially big tech and everything owned by billionaires. It's just that a lot of European brands are owned by billionaires too who are just as bad, they just didn't explicitly get handed the keys to the government (yet).

Do not draw parallelisms with Trump's newnazi regime and Europe. Here we do not allow big tech to enter government and make nazi salutes.

I see your point, however, imo, buyers in EU can signal (with their purchases) that Trump's words/actions have real (financial) consequences, and then those EU/US billionaires (who are benefiting from cross continent trade) would pressure him to stop doing what he is doing...
