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.

I think a blockade of the USA is inevitable because it seems impossible to invade and then pacify the USA…unless you’re using drone swarms or something. But who knows.

i have a fan theory that in the Hunger Games the setting is just a fully isolated and blockaded U.S., cut off from a global communist bloc, devouring it's own children in waning capitalistic excess

so yeah maybe that will still happen
