The E Jean Carroll trial that proved Trump raped her* ended in 2023. And he was convicted in early 2024 for 37 counts of felony fraud.
I understand that but it’s kind of what i’m saying… if I wasn’t on reddit or lemmy, I probably wouldn’t even know about it, since I don’t really particularly care about Trump. I assume most people don’t. Yes, the CEO of Proton should know better because that’s his job, but in general I think people just really don’t care and don’t know. I think a lot of people just consider Trump a loud idiot, without giving much consideration into how dangerous him and his party is or what kind of felonies he has been convicted for.
Yes I’m sure it’s a “marketing” thing, to be catchy. I don’t think its about divide, though. I still don’t dislike americans or think that europeans are superior somehow, I just think this year has shown as that USA as a country can’t be relied on and it would be dangerous to continue to do so. Hence why avoid their products. I don’t like that youtube has no alternative and literally everyone and their grandma around me are using facebook messenger, for example. If everyone here stopped using these (not going to happen btw), it wouldn’t be because of nationalism, I tell you that.
I’m a bit confused why you think this isn’t about avoiding USA products and why you say it with such confidence. The president of USA said/did bad things, the movement started/skyrocketed to avoid USA products, its not rocket science.
Yes, I think that’s it.
