Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.
DETRUMPIFY YOURSELF Buy european products Travel european countries Vote pro european parties Defend european values Use european technology Use european opensource Invest in european companies
How sad it is to see the world as a Trump/Europe dichotomy.
Seriously, make this easier for yourself and just buy from anywhere that isn’t the USA or its golden child (Israel.)
Install ANY free and open source software. Even if it’s American, it breaks dependence on the tech oligarchs that Trump is building his empire with.
Open source should not know borders. Anybody who commits to open source (with one of the proper licenses) is a friend to me
Just avoided Philadelphia cheese (US) product using madeometer.com. Small win, nice feeling.
Flipped the product upside-down for the next customer.
No, don’t use Trump to create European patriotism. There is Africa, there is Asia and there are other countries in America.
Yeah but local is ecologically better (for physical products)
I don’t think it boils down to nationalism, either. This is the same thing Trump does, just with Europe. But I think the world is more nuanced. And it’s fine to be allied and trade with the rest of the world.
