        Huh.

        I found yet another reason to never buy US products again. As if I needed more.

            Ah yes, “US Prison Labor”. Also historically known as “slavery”!

                Slavery was outlawed in the USA.

                With the specific exception of prisoners.

                At least one US state (Virginia) referred to prisoners as “slaves of the state” in a judicial summary up until the mid-20th century.

                Too many americans support Guantanamo bay, ICE death camps, cruel death penalty for people of colour and v-coding.

                        Who needs slaves when you construct penal labour and then make everything illegal and enforce it selectively against those you want to enslave.

                        Laws don’t prescribe or describe morality, they’re tools of oppression

                          $130. I didn’t know it was prison labor produced.

                          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.
