Boycott US

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.

I've been predicting this for a couple of years now.

It goes hand-in-hand with prison privatization and the increased corporate use of prison slave labor. The goal is essentially to bring back Victorian workhouses while collecting kickbacks.

I've been predicting this for the last 25 years.

And my parents have been predicting this for the last 40+ years.

The US was always going to find any opportunity it could to bring back slave labour.

What do they consider as homeless? Do vanlifers have anything to fear here?

I saw the other day non-permanent address, or shifting addresses can cause your bank to now close your account and send the balance to your last known address, reporting it to the feds whom then may just classify you as homeless.

Not sure how those laws are supposed to work yet, let me know if you find out more, I'm curious

Well I assume all the vanlifers I follow on YouTube probably have an addresses. I was thinking of the ones who don't have YouTube channels and followers. Same with people who literally have jobs but live in their cars.

Not at first.

First they'll come for the ones under bridges.

Then the ones in tents.

Then the ones with no fixed abode.

Then the ones in homes that get deemed unlivable.
