Is it worth pushing for sanctioning and divestment from Amerika? (hexbear.net)

Sorry for the noob question. But considering the awful way that the US is treating the protests, should people push for BDS from Amerika? Like should we advocate that people not travel to the US? Not study in the US? Not collaborate with research with the US. And not buy US products.

This plan is very half baked, so crit me as hard as you want. It just feels like the US government is hopelessly fascist and dangerous for the world.

Definitely. Honestly I think institutions and countries divesting from and sanctioning the US is the only thing outside of global war that will get the Great Satan to knock it off. But even at a smaller level, if people you know are thinking about coming here or working with us, definitely advise against it, it’s not a good idea.
