You remember that first amendment thing we used to have here?

Yeah... neither does our government

America can't be taken seriously anymore.

It's a good thing Russia gave half of a wakeup call to the rest of the free world to arm the fuck up 3 years ago. We know America can't be relied on for anything anymore.

How do you enforce anti boycott, how do you force someone to spend their money?

Dont get me wrong Ill know they will try again, but wow.

If you’re an American paying taxes you can’t boycott Israel. It doesn’t even need to be a law.

Seems like they’re trying to turn boycott in to a dirty word.

Yes yes I know where my tax dollars go, thank you. Well, ok actually not entirely, but yes to fund the irl fucking evil empire.

But boycotts make me think of private citzens not buying a product, or from a store or provider, etc.

Nazi America

Brought to you by millions of fascist fucks, including your own family and friends.

Good. Holy 💩

For now. Let's see what happens when it's budget time again. They'll probably bury it in there because we live in hell.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, how the government works. Keep spamming a bill that the general public doesn't want until it sticks. But then no such efforts to repeal it and we're stuck with the flaming piece of shit.

Any government that tells you what you can complain about

Is by definition a Totalerian government

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Worse than that - they're trying to tell us what we can spend our money on.

Which according to the horse shit Citizens United ruling is free speech for corporations. But not the people in em I guess.

how this reminds me russia....

Isn't there already an anti boycott law on the books?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. I worked for a US-headquartered multinational in Asia, and we had to do a whole training about how we had to be scrupulous in not doing anything that could be interpreted as a boycott of Israel otherwise the company would be breaking the law.
