Teslas are shit quality anyway, just like every other American car. That, and Tesla employees like to jerk off to videos Teslas are recording of naked people in their garages, although every car manufacturer is participating in surveillance capitalism.

We should do this here in the USA too because American food companies make garbage food where everything has high fructose corn syrup and 50 other highly processed ingredients while the European equivalent has 5. Whenever anyone comes to the US, they always put on weight while not changing eating habits. That, along with shrinkflation and a number of greedy practices, I’d like to see these companies all go bankrupt.
Absolutely!
As an American who has gotten to travel to Scandinavia, the food is so much more fresh and high quality. Even the basic stuff like a hotel breakfast or workplace cafeteria lunch.
It was one difference among a thousand others that I noticed when being there in person. I remember thinking to myself “what is this strange vibe I’m getting from all these cultural differences? Oh, it’s human dignity, respect for others, and in turn respect for oneself.”
I want to say “Europe, help!” but I know they have to protect themselves and the world from our shit show first.

I could tell this was Lidl just from the font on the prices.
If I want to boycott American, buying Lidl and Aldi own brands is an easy way to do this, yes? I'm doing this by default because I have an easily navigatable Lidl that I can walk to.
I am American and I am doing all my grocery shopping either at Aldi or from farmer markets now. Fuck Musk, fuck Trump, and fuck the US for falling to fascist oligarchy.
Glory to Ukraine. Glory to Democracy

Lidls owner Schwarz is heavily invested in an Israeli "cybersecurity" start-up run by a former Mossad director. As always with Israeli "cybersecurity" that embraces "former" ties to intelligence, you should expect ongoing ties to Israeli and US intelligence agencies.

These are the kind of people that helped get Trump elected.

One thing at a time. Lidl isn't necessarily in question here, it's the boycott intention. We do the same thing boycotting in Israeli products too.

A single random picture isn't actual evidence of this happening at all.
I saw this in a Canadian article as well.
People check to see if they're American and then turn them upside down so the next person doesn't have to look it up. Not so much a protest as a warning to others who care.

People are doing the same in Canada with US products.
American here, good.
The rest of the world needs to start competing with the US instead of suckling its teat.
Everyone will be better off for it except for the conmen taking America for a ride right now.
“that’s illegal”

We should do that to US foods in the US.
We should do that to US ~~foods~~ flags in the US.

Is there actually any evidence of this happening? Isn't this just a photo of a couple items upside down in a shop?
I haven't seen anything like that in any store or supermarket here in Spain. Nor even hear about this until now. So I say it's just a couple off items upside-down in a shop.
You can be the change.

Is there a list somewhere of commonly found American products in European supermarket so that I can definitely not do a bit of this..?
I lose track of all the daughter companies and such that one should watch out for.
minus Nestle (sadly) and Unilever
This picture is going through the net for so long, still German news are trying to convince its readers that there aren't many American products on European supermarket shelves.
This image alone proves that governments only care about monopolies in writing 😂
Edit: Aw fuck, Ms Vickies is Canadian but owned by Pepsi? Fml. So in the end, it's not really Canadian. We can't have anything good...

Can we start a movement for this? Who's in?
Consider doing this in my supermarket.
As an American I implore you to start.
People are telling me to boycott Tesla and I'm over here like "I wasn't about to buy a $65k vehicle spontaneously but I guess won't now anyways."
My broke ass:
I won’t buy a Tesla this year. In fact, I won’t buy TEN Teslas.
