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.

You’re the one calling appropriation a “genuine contribution” if you knew anything about the history of whiskey and bourbon, you wouldn’t be making that claim.
I'm no expert on alcohol, but when I went to the distillery in Bourbon County, they tell it was made by accident originally. Basically the distillery burned down, and they tried reusing the burnt barrels only to find that the whiskey had a pleasant flavor?
What's appropriation there? The locals just brought the whiskey recipe with them when they hopped the pond.
And then made legislation that it can only be made across the pond and no longer where the recipes originated from.
They distinctly changed the recipe. It's no different than Champagne and Prosecco and Sparkling Wine. You can make the stuff, it just isn't called Bourbon. Why is it appropriation to use the same damn rules here that you already had in Europe?
They didn’t change the recipe in a sense, they took the process of making rye and used “local” and government subsidized ingredients in a higher percentage to cut costs. Which was corn. It was already being made elsewhere.
In the case of champagne, that’s a little more involved, there is actually a distinct difference from the soil in the area that make it. So to make it elsewhere WON’T be the same. And the legislation was to protect a unique process from starting to be used elsewhere, not to strip other places of what they were doing.
The information coming from a bourbon distillery is gonna be HEAVILY biased to making them look like not the villain.
