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.

I feel so sorry for US Americans. I honestly do.
Yeah, but they could have stopped this by marking a piece of paper, so…
People will be saying the same type of things about Canada soon; how it was our fault for letting our military decline, how we bought so much American product, how we let their culture take us over, how we didn't cultivate a bigger place for ourselves in the world but were content to live complacent next to a volcano.
For the most part people don't want the consrant struggle. Just to vote when it's time, keep up with global events, maybe protest if it's a big enough issue. But we still need to focus on family and career, fun and rest, peace and quiet.
For Them, the cause is their job, their activities, their meaning. I don't think most of us realize how big the industry to manufacture consent is. When they have a bill prepared, before it even gets legislated they're already working on the next step, either how to redo it if it fails or how to build on it if it passes. They don't sleep, winning is their only purpose.
I just don't think we can afford to alienate anyone on our side. Telling someone there's nothing they can do to make something right generally just makes them think they have to look out for themselves.
Will write code for visa
Same boat man! Will design you a satellite constellation for a visa.
Got any friends who develop cube sats? We could do some real good work with I2P and satellite modems. We could link up with the kinetic launch people and set up a new opensource encrypted internet.
My coworkers on my current project are also supporting a cube sat mission that just launched. I'm not sure I follow what's really unique about a cube sat mission though?
I think the kinetic launch is a cool idea from a physics perspective, but from a systems perspective, it's going to be fucking difficult to build systems to withstand it.
