No. Tariffs set by one country primarily affect the people of that country. Americans are paying American tariffs, other countries tariffs would be paid by those other countries. We don’t need to have a pissing contest to see which country can punish its own citizens the most.
I agree with the don’t negotiate part. American tariffs punish Americans, other countries’ tariffs will only punish those countries’ citizens. The correct response to someone punching themselves in the face is not to punch yourself in the face.
/e/ is good and all, but doesn’t quite meet my requirements.
I was really gutted when DivestOS shuttered last December. That really hit the spot for me (and its forks like AXP.OS), as they had features like randomised wifi MAC addresses and auto switch off of wifi and bluetooth (preventing tracking via other devices). Right now, I’m stuck with LineageOS4MicroG, at least until I can get MicroG working on another ROM, but it seems like more and more ROMs are coming designed for or even bundled with gapps. I would be using crDroid right now, but I can’t get MicroG up and running on that, and their stock camera app keeps crashing after it calls for Google Play Services (which it does whenever I try to search settings, strangely).

Vaccination in the past has been obligatory, eg for polio.
The EU is not subject to American tariffs. American consumers are subject to American tariffs. EU consumers would be subject to EU tariffs.
EU businesses are affected by American tariffs because it means reduced sales. However, this primarily means a reduction in growth, ie less profits, not more expense. The people paying more expense are consumers - they are the ones primarily affected by the tariffs.
Everyone ignores this, especially in the media, and it is immensely frustrating. Yes, it isn’t great that businesses will lose sales due to tariffs, however it’s worse and more significant that consumers have to pay tariffs. Retaliatory tariffs will only cause more pain for local consumers - on top of the reduced growth from the instigating tariff - and would be like punching yourself in the face because your opponent is punching themselves in the face.
