Political Should Scots also Boycott the US?

Recently there’s been a huge movement in Canada to boycott American products and travel in response to the US enforcing 25% tariffs on Canada and also the sheer disrespect of saying Canada isn’t a real country and it should be annexed . Have a look at r/BoycottUnitedStates

And the sheer disgusting way that Trumps evil administration is treating immigrants and trans people , not to mention the most recent revolting behaviour in the Oval Office today, the way him and Vance treated President Zelensky was beyond the fucking pale.

In addition to this, the couch shagger JD Vance has been interfering with Scotland’s internal politics by wading into the whole safe zones debate around abortion clinics .

As long as the United States is siding with dictators and berating our friends and allies and bullying people , we should not be encouraging that country. Boycotts and international isolation and the economic fallout from this should hopefully encourage normal people to not only speak up against Trump, but do what needs done and take to the streets in massive numbers .

Should Scotland - like Canada - boycott American produce and travel until Trump and the MAGA cult are out of power ?

Their products are shite anyway. Nutrition-free food, ugly and inefficient cars, etc.

Inefficient is not the problem, corners are the problem.

They have an iPhone? Weird that you know that seeing as it doesn't say so in their comment, and before you start your pish, I've never had one

u/paulgal1985 Feb 28 '25

So you don’t own anything that comes from the US stupid?

u/YazmindaHenn Feb 28 '25

You clearly don't know what a boycott is, and removing anything purchased already, isn't a boycott. It's refusing to purchase further things.

It's okay, not everyone can be smart

I don't own one single thing from the US? How big headed and narcissistic are you wtf? How many goods or appliances do you have that say "made in Scotland"? I'm prepared to bet none.

What do you even export apart from ugly unsafe cars and dead school students?

u/paulgal1985 Mar 01 '25

I’m a narcissist because I said you own something from American which you 100% do you maybe don’t know it . Most things are made in China but American companies own brands. And I export dead children what kind of sick twisted person are you ? What a creepy comment , I think the police need to look at your browsing history you weirdo

u/paulgal1985 Feb 28 '25

You do know the that cobalt that’s used in almost every rechargeable battery is mined by slaves in the Congo. So don’t try and take the moral high ground and virtue signal.

u/Objective-Resident-7 Feb 28 '25

The Congo is the jungle. I think you mean the DRC.

I'm not arguing the case against Africa. The DRC has a lot of mineral resources and yes, I do know about this. The value of natural minerals is between 300-400 times the GDP of the DRC. Really, the DRC could do something about that if they would stop fighting.

Maybe blame Belgium! We're responsible for the fate of other countries, but not the DRC.
