I am an American and agree with this headline. Don’t cave in to the bully.
-
As an American, who the fuck even has to be told that, by now? If you know what’s going on, you have an obligation to make American corporations shriek their fucking heads off as they hemorrhage profits.
As an American:
FFS STOP BUYING AMERICAN!
-
Most people?
I think sometimes people on here forget we have been filtered out of general society first by joining Reddit and then by moving here we are sort of in a liberal echo chamber.
When I interact with regular friends IRL, they don’t care and they really don’t understand what’s happening with the world. So it’s a good thing Macron is sayin this as it spreads the message.
-
I am in even worse echo chamber, because almost all of my friends are queers, computer scientists or uni students.

-
I think it's a bit hard for most people when there's such an abundance of goods and services and nobody really knows where everything comes from.
-
It wasn't until all this kicked off that I learned just how many companies that I thought were European were in fact owned by American conglomerates.
Which makes MAGA's "the world is taking advantage of America" rhetoric all the more infuriatingly hypocritical. You spent decades using the strong dollar to go on a massive global shopping trip buying up every other country's companies, and are now crying foul that those companies you own are supplying their local markets instead of importing from the US?

Hey @EU: don’t forget to buy Canadian. We have sweet sweet sugary beavers….and pornhub.

France has a sneaker brand called Le Coq. Why would anyone buy Nike when they can show off their Le Coq is beyond me.
-
Wait Le Coq Sportif? I used to wear that as a kid then it went from the UK.
-
Is it “coke” or “cock”?
-
I always pronounced it cock

coq = cock = rooster they are pronounced basically the same, but coq doesnt mean cock as in penis afaik
-
You know which one 😏

The French have been avoiding dependence on Americans since de Gualle. The only reason the entire country hasn't died of schadenfreude poisoning is because "schadenfreude" is a German word.
-
For anyone like me:
schadenfreude /shäd′n-froi″də/ noun
Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. Malicious enjoyment derived from observing someone else's misfortune. Delight in another person's misfortune.

How is Macron so based? I, as a German, used to hate on France, but they are holy based the last months
-
Why would you hate France ? We spent years building a strong friendship, sharing TV programs, sending our kids to each other, learning each other languages, making good deals... Let's stay friends
-
He just continued the basedness that is de Gaule with his stance that US will turn on eurpoe some day.
-
-
Macron is a hypocrite, all talk no action
-
I guess it would be nice if you supplanted that by economic policy, wouldn't it.
-
Jupiter, the emperor of Europe...
-
Yes don’t go to Disney Land Paris. Got it.
Also everyone should stop watching US movies in the theater, just pirate American movies. Or watch Les Vengeurs made by Marvelle. Or Le Batman by Les Frères Warner.
-
Any American who sides with the EU should pack up and leave. Buy American. Die European.
-
They are welcome to come here. I wouldn't wanna live in a country with someone like Trump either.
-
They’re welcome here. You would not be with your current mindset.
-
I am confused if this is a low effort trolling attempt or if people's ideas are legitimately this easily swayed by internal propaganda.
