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.

Pls forgive my oversimplification.

No, there's nothing you need to be forgiven here for. The US government doesn't deserve nuance in our rhetoric. If we're actually analyzing systems and material conditions, we need to, but in day to day life and the effects on the working class it's a distinction with little difference.
