Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

its beyond time for japan and korea to find commanality and join with other asian nations to make an asian union like the EU.
Good luck with that. Especially the older generations that still hate each other. Add to that whenever the japanese right or Korean left want to stir shit up with their nationalist bases, the opposite country is the go-to. Previous agreements etc. be damned.
I mean. italy, france, england, and germany. They were not always so chummy and now the uk is not even part of the biggest and earliest members.
I mean.....England and France will always hate each other. It's just sometimes they're also allies. Allies who side eye each other.
Why don't they just fuck already? Are they stupid?
They did, and almost 1000 years later the U.K. is still suffering from a bad case of Royals.
We don't hate each other. I'd describe our relationship more like that of two rival siblings who bicker and argue and get weirdly competitive about just anything, but ultimately know they're family. As a frenchman I can recognize that we love you, you British pricks
Yeah ! But we definitely are the cooler sibling
England and France don't hate each other outside of seaside jokes.
It took them back to back world wars and complete destruction to do that. I think on the other side of the pond they are still missing one or two before they realize that uniting is the correct way
to be fair the asian countries were invloved a bit in one of those wars.
The older generation will die out eventually. Japan can speed up the process by apologizing for everything already
Yeah thats not gonna happen. Half the younger generation think the 90s happened because Korea and China stole all Japan's technology and/or the government spent too much and that Japan has always been a civilizing influence on east asia.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re right. The biggest political movement among Japanese young people right now is fascist.
It's not obvious to me that even if the two countries would be willing to do so that there would be enough strength to have any relevance related to China, so I'm not sure how viable it would be
The idea is japan, korea, taiwan, singapore, phillipinese, thailand, and maybe all the way down to australia is the eu and china is essentially their russia. It would have to be all democracies so likely not viet nam would have to massively change to be a part.
Something like a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! (Sorry, sometimes you gotta take the shot.)
I'm surprised they didn't gang up long ago.
