    But arguably, it’s not really about punishing the US - our economy is too small to really accomplish that.

    It’s about divesting ourselves of their influence. It’s about turning our back on them and living with the rest of the world instead. And wherever possible, it’s about making and buying our own products first.

      I support this regardless of the US administration and I’m American. I think everybody should try to shop small and local wherever they are. I’ll always prefer to put my money into the local economy when and where I’m able.

      I’m European and this is how I feel about it as well. I try to turn my boycott into something positive. Now I support my local economy more and I’ve turned away from big tech to more ethical FOSS as much as I could.
