I wish them luck

It sounds like you genuinely wish them the opposite, since you're encouraging others to boycott their businesses for the crime of existing in America.

That's a mischaracterization. Trust me, it brings me no joy to see the US become a chauvinist, criminal oligarch regime. It's a disaster to be honest.

That being said, you do not want to send money to a regime that wishes you harm and is composed of criminals. Nor is it unreasonable to make an assumption that the dominance of criminal elements is permanent and American civil service will get permanently debased and hollowed out.

Mind you, this sort of outcome is not surprising and a foreigner living in the US could notice the foundations of such an outcome a decade before Trump.

That's a mischaracterization.

Then correct me. Because you're speaking out both sides of your mouth.

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It is a mischaracterization! What have I said that makes it seems to you that I support the US oligarchic regime and wish the worst to those Americans that oppose it?

That's simply not true!

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You suggested that people should boycott all American companies because of their government. I don't know how I'm supposed to interpret that any other way.

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Correct.

That's not the same thing as what you are claiming (that I wish bad things for those Americans who oppose the current regime).

Replace "those who oppose the current regime" with "all Americans" and it's exactly the same thing.
