Title doesn’t seem to be doing this justice – I don’t think a group called “boykot verer fra USA” is Swedish, as that looks like Danish to me.
So I’d guess that this is happening in Denmark as well.
Does anyone know of any of these groups emerging in the anglosphere outside of Canada? Would be interested to see if there’s one in my country but I don’t have facebook
I can tell you with 100% certainty that the group name you wrote isn’t Danish. Whether it’s Swedish or not, I’m not sure, but there you go
it’s 100% not swedish.
Don’t want to be a negative nelly, but Sweden is probably same as Finland. You don’t see much US products at consumer lever and if you do, they are definately not essentials. Usually they are on the exotics section i.e. candy and soda.
But there are lots of American companies like McDonald’s (Hesburger ftw)
Most of those just work with licences and the products are not made in US. You are not hurting US business by boycotting them, only local entrepreneurs. In US they’ll still get their licence fees.
In Finland McDonalds burger ingredients come from Europe. Beef patties come from East-Europe. Hesburger is the same and their claim on local ingredients is bullshit. Only the bun and possibly fries might be locally produced.
In McDonalds the vegetarian pattie come from US. Those are unhealthy ultraprocessed food and due to logistical distances they are an ecological nightmare. You shouldn’t be eating those anyway.
Same with Coke and Pepsi. They are produced by local companies with licence. If you gave somebody here a US made soda they would be wierded out. Due to agricultural reasons US uses corn syrup to sweeten everything and European taste finds that really funky.
I’m American and boycotting by moving to Sweden lol
I’d love to move to Sweden. Any advice on how to move out there?
Live with the crushing despair of having a tech job that provides no real value long enough to have a degrees worth of money and living expenses then get on a student visa, is what I’m attempting anyway idk probably there are easier options
Fair enough. I’m sorry to hear all that. I’m lucky enough to have a good tech job, but I’d love to have a good tech job in Sweden instead of here in the US.
I’m American and I’m boycotting the hell out of it too. Supporting my neighborhood businesses.
