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.

In order: Yes. No. Yes, but qualified given behaviour over the past 20 years.
Germany accepted its role in the Holocaust and in the war. It took positive strides to make amends. The same applies to Italy, though its beginning to flirt with fascism again in the late 1990s/early 2000s made me start being ultra-wary of it. Japan has never really accepted its malignant role in WWII and, at points, has denied documented history. So I, at least, have not forgiven it.
(I also do not trust Turkey for its continued refusal to accept its role in the Armenian Genocide.)
and let's be real here, what are the chances america actually makes efforts to fix what it's done - basically zero
I expect the best we'll get is an acknowledgement that "the previous administration was difficult" and then it'll be back to business as usual, no amends made
Japan had a pacifist foreign policy though since they lost WW2.
enforced by the US
positive outlook on imperial beliefs is seeing a resurgence
and Japan as a whole is still racist and xenophobic at home
don’t forget their school history books whitewashing their atrocities
They had a pacifist foreign policy forced on them. Doesn't really count on the morality side.
