Is this 'don't buy American' or is it 'don't support economies with anti-consumer practices'?

[mingus88]

It’s both. From the article

> If I start buying European and they start behaving like the US does now, then this rant will just as easily apply to them.

And yet... the article includes examples of European companies behaving like this.

BTW, it's not about how the US behaves. It's about how many companies, some of which happen to be US-based, behave.

It could be about the later, but I'd have to research more to make such a general claim.

I guess it could be extended to any country with similari behavior.

Take the attitude to selling your data at state, country level "just because".

If US citizens love being scr@@d over good for them....

> All this points to a very clear trend, at least for me, that the US is openly an oligarchy.

I read it as don't support oligarchies.
