    Well, no. The idea is not about “America to lose”, but about strengthening European industry and technology. This way we won’t be totally dependent on US. If they want to be allies in future, that’s great - but the idea is that we shouldn’t need to beg for this.

      America’s leadership is going nuts these days, but I reckon America as a whole is not so bad, still. America, I hope, will still be our friends and do great, as time passes.

    Boycott Chinese, American, Russian. Buy everything else is my motto. I don’t have a problem buying Taiwanese, Japanese, South Korean or Chilean products.

        Boycotting can also be seen like vegetarianism.

        The misconception that it’s all or nothing means it’s harder to get people to do it.

        But in reality, working to get multiple people to do “less”, is more valuable than having one person doing “none”. So let people do less, even if they can’t help for some.

      I see, you only boycott products from nations that fought against the axis powers in WWII

    That sounds like some Tankie shit. Thoughts like this de-legitimize the whole community.

    Yeah nah. I agree kinda. But like man I don’t want the current state of Russian, Israeli, or Chinese imperlaism to win.

    Broadly I just want Libertarian Leftist movements to win. (Libertarian in that it’s not Maoism or Stalinism or whatever the fuck happened to North Korea, although I am an anarchist, as long as you’re anti-capitalist and not looking to create new heirarchies like many of the “socialist” dictatorships, I’ll support you, no need to be anti-state).

    Heavy downvote for an awful attitude.

    EU should be strengthened for the benefit that will bring to all who live there now, in the future, and to promote the positive values they have long brought to the world.

    As I’ve said in my previous posts, forget US if they want to make themselves irrelevant, strengthen Europe for it’s own sake.

    Do better OP, this isn’t the European way.

    Also why is this shite upvoted overall, are we already suffering the Reddit way of auto upvotes on any post regardless of their content? I cant believe the ratio going by the responses here.

    Are there any European companies that make backpacks as well as Tom Bihn and Red Oxx?

    Implying that you wouldn’t care if both the US and Europe lost, no thanks, I’d rather dance with the devil I know
