While I approve of the message i dont approve of littering and vandalizing items by putting stickers on everything on public areas. I see sticker on everything outside every day and it is so ugly and after a few days they fade and get scratched up washed by the rain and will stay unreasonable unreadable for multiple years and just be an ugly eyesore.

Please stop vandalizing and use better means of spreading the word or place the stickers on your own property like your laptop, notebook or backpack.

Iโ€™ll probably downvoted but I really canโ€™t stand stickers everywhere even when I approve of the message.

I love stickers, grafitti, murals, posters, street art and everything making the world a bit less grey and depressing and boring (except for ads, they should be outlawed, fuck ads). And you can always put a nice sticker on top of any fasch-terf-conspiracy bs.

If this drives ppl off of WhatsApp to Signal and they remain there post this US administration, I think thatโ€™s another win

But Signal is hosted in the US and a US company. And it is probably still tied to the CIA after its initial funding by Radio Free Asia (through its subsidiary Open Technology Fund)

The sentiment really needs to shift to buy non-american. As a canadian i am totally happy to buy EU, AuS, NZ, even China over USA.

even China over USA.

Beg to differ. This feels a bit like those republicans voting to abolish the social security they rely upon just to โ€œown the libsโ€.

China is in no way better than the US and needs to be stopped just as much.

We should act in our own interest (furthering manufacturing in Western/democratic countries) and not in spite (โ€œowningโ€ the us-americans)
