Because 'enemies' has been narrowly redefined to be a country we are at war with. You'll notice, of course, that we haven't declared war since ww2. It's all been 'police actions' and similar.

If you're a Republican, you're supporting this. You can claim you aren't on board all you want, but at the end of the day, you're supporting them.

Maybe don't, if you don't like what the Republicans party is doing with the support you've given them.

No, we did not accept any of it. There's been massive, colossal protests about it all in fact. We don't like this, and we've been TRYING to get it to stop.

The problem is that both parties, the media, and big tech companies are doing everything they can to normalize this shit and pretend that the protests are small, have no momentum, can't accomplish anything, and it's already too late.

It's not.

So what are those reasons, that make you think people should boycott Nintendo and not other companies, then?

Because I suspect most of them are not as legitimate as you might be thinking, and now I'm curious.

US citizens do not want this shit.

More to point, the idiots that voted for this while thinking it would happen are a very, very small minority.

And even then, it's looking reaaaal likely that a significant amount of those votes for this shit were faked.

There's also just a substantial number of people that were just astroturfers, I think.

There's been a LOT of crazy attacks on the switch 2 to try to 'justify' a boycott. I think my two favorite was that the gamechat button noise when you hit is actually saying saying a slur, or maybe that the rumble turns off after a while not to protect your hands from the rumble (which has been found to be bad for you), but because Nintendo cheaped out on a rumble motor that overheated too easily.

The switch 2 joycons don't have a rumble motor. Like, it's a whole thing they're super proud of, because it's so precise they just use the rumble really fast to play music instead of having a speaker.

Honestly, the whole idea of trying to boycott nintendo has pretty much always been over astroturfed bullshit, or just outright bullshit.

She's literally been a major feminist activist and UN ambassador for over a decade.

Trust me, we know. Feel free to hit american companies in their pocketbooks though. It's the only way they'll learn. And maybe they'll fuck off and get out of our government too.

Aww look, now the sealion is moving the goalposts.

We know what you are, go away.

Ah yes, the strawman that ignores context entirely. Nice.

See, if they weren't white, they would have been charged with greater crimes despite only 'attempting' to do this. And you know this.

Fuck off with your sealioning, you damn well know they're right.

Lol, good try, but we know it's the same.

 

5 Calls will give you your reps, their party (so you can avoid calling any republicans and getting yourself put on a potential retaliation list), multiple methods for contacting each rep (displayed in the order you should consider them), and then a script for what to say for any one of several dozen issues at hand.

Call your reps, and push them to do their jobs!
