L’AMÉRIQUE DEVIENT FOLLE ! – Musées censurés, art banni – de plus en plus d’Allemands ripostent : BOYCOTT des MARQUES AMÉRICAINES !

Un article de

#Mirko #Lange.

Ce qui se passe actuellement aux États-Unis me touche profondément — comme probablement beaucoup d’autres ici.

Lorsqu’un gouvernement commence à restructurer les musées, à interdire des expositions et à retirer volontairement des œuvres d’art et de littérature critiques, ce n’est plus de la politique conservatrice — c’est autoritaire. Totalitaire. Fasciste.

Celui qui « purifie » idéologiquement la culture attaque le cœur même de la société ouverte.

Désormais, je vais boycotter autant que possible les produits américains. Pas par hostilité, ni même par indignation. Mais par responsabilité et par besoin de me sentir utile. Un renoncement total n’est pas réaliste, mais des choix ciblés sont possibles lorsqu’il existe des alternatives.

Les grandes entreprises sont sensibles aux signaux publics. Il ne s’agit pas de pureté morale, mais d’efficacité. Et je soutiendrai également celles et ceux qui s’opposent ouvertement à Trump — que ce soit des entreprises, des voix critiques ou des esprits créatifs.

Exemples possibles de #boycott :

  • Streaming et abonnements numériques

    Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Premium

    → Annuler ou suspendre. Utiliser Arte, Magenta ou les plateformes publiques.
  • Technologie – matériel et appareils

    Apple (iPhone, Mac), Microsoft (Surface), Google (Pixel), Amazon (Alexa, Kindle)

    → Lors d’un achat, envisager des alternatives européennes ou asiatiques. Réparer plutôt que remplacer.
  • Automobile et mobilité

    Tesla, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Uber, Lime, Bird, Spin (services aux États-Unis)

    → Choisir des modèles européens ou asiatiques. Acheter d’occasion. Favoriser les transports en commun.
  • Mode et style de vie

    Nike, Levi’s, GAP, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Converse, New Balance, Victoria’s Secret

    → Privilégier des marques durables européennes. Acheter d’occasion.
  • Alimentation et snacks

    Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kellogg’s, Mars, Mondelez (Oreo, Milka), Heinz, Hershey’s

    → Acheter localement, soutenir les petites marques.
  • Chaînes et restauration américaines

    McDonald’s, Burger King, Starbucks, KFC, Subway, Dunkin’

    → Soutenir les restaurants et cafés locaux. Éviter le fast-food.
  • Voyages et tourisme

    Voyages aux États-Unis et compagnies aériennes américaines (Delta, American Airlines, United)

    → Choisir des destinations aux politiques culturelles progressistes. Voyager avec des compagnies européennes.
  • Finances et paiements

    Visa, Mastercard, PayPal

    → Si possible, utiliser des alternatives européennes ou un virement bancaire.

Je sais, ce ne sera pas confortable. Et c’est contradictoire : je publie cela sur LinkedIn, une plateforme américaine. Mais c’est justement pour ça : j’utilise sa portée pour attirer l’attention sur ce problème. Un boycott silencieux n’a d’effet que s’il est visible. Et beaucoup de ces choix pourraient aussi faire du bien à mon corps et à mon esprit.

Si vous souhaitez faire pareil, partagez ce post avec votre propre message.

PS : Le mot „BIC“ sur la photo est erroné. Je ne peux plus modifier l’image.

Naturellement, la première étape consiste à renoncer aux produits américains que l’on peut (peut-être même facilement) remplacer. Et si c’est facile, peut-être que 20 millions d’autres feront de même.

– Pour une démocratie au centre, car les extrêmes détruisent le pays –

Merci, Mirko, pour ce post clair et courageux !
Je partage pleinement ton avis :

Les pays démocratiques devraient être bien plus conscients de leur puissance économique collective.

Les États-Unis comptent environ 330 millions d’habitants — impressionnant, certes.
Mais l’Union européenne en compte déjà plus de 450 millions, auxquels s’ajoutent :

  • 67 millions au Royaume-Uni,
  • 39 millions au Canada,
  • Plus de 1,4 milliard en Inde,
  • 126 millions au Japon,
  • 52 millions en Corée du Sud,
  • 26 millions en Australie,
  • Et près de 5 millions en Nouvelle-Zélande.

Ensemble, cette « coalition des démocraties volontaires » représente plus de 2,5 milliards de personnes vivant dans des sociétés libres et démocratiques — et donc une puissance économique, culturelle et politique énorme.

Trump et ses partisans doivent comprendre : ce n’est pas nous qui dépendons d’eux — c’est eux qui dépendent de nous.

La défense de la démocratie ne commence pas uniquement dans les urnes — elle commence dans notre comportement quotidien.
Et oui, cela inclut la consommation. Celles et ceux qui choisissent des produits alignés sur des valeurs démocratiques (ou évitent sciemment ceux qui les bafouent) prennent une responsabilité concrète et visible.

Évidemment, il n’est pas nécessaire de jeter son iPhone. Mais on peut envisager une alternative au prochain achat. Et soyons honnêtes : personne n’a besoin de Coca-Cola ou de Pepsi pour survivre.

J’ai moi aussi commencé, il y a des années, à établir une liste personnelle de boycott — d’abord contre la Russie, et aujourd’hui bien plus large. J’ai écrit deux articles pour expliquer mes réflexions et mes critères :

  1. Ma liste personnelle de sanctions : ces pays que j’évite en tant que démocrate et Européen

    → Lien ci-dessous *
  2. Chaque achat finance les autocrates ! Pourquoi nous devons changer radicalement nos habitudes de consommation — et comment ma liste personnelle peut aider

    → Lien ci-dessous **

Il ne s’agit pas seulement des États-Unis, mais aussi d’entreprises allemandes qui :

  • Poursuivent leurs affaires avec des autocraties comme la Russie,
  • Encouragent ou tolèrent des idéologies antidémocratiques ou d’extrême droite,
  • Évitent l’impôt au détriment de l’État — donc de nous tous.

La démocratie commence au moment de l’achat.
Et plus ce boycott silencieux sera visible, plus son effet sera fort.
Merci d’avoir mis ce sujet crucial sur la table !

AMERICA IS LOSING IT! – Museums Censored, Art Banned – More and More Germans Are Fighting Back: BOYCOTT Against U.S. BRANDS!

A post by

#Mirko #Lange.

What’s happening in the U.S. right now deeply troubles me—just like it probably troubles everyone here.

When governments start restructuring museums, banning exhibitions, and deliberately removing critical art and literature, that’s no longer conservative politics—it’s authoritarian. Totalitarian. Fascist.

Anyone who ideologically “cleanses” culture is attacking the very core of an open society.

From now on, I will boycott American products—at least as far as I reasonably can. Not out of hostility, not even out of outrage. But out of responsibility and a desire to feel empowered. A complete boycott isn’t realistic, but targeted choices where alternatives exist are absolutely possible.

Big corporations, in particular, are sensitive to public signals. This isn’t about moral purity—it’s about making an impact. I’ll also reward those who openly oppose Trump—whether companies, voices, or creatives.

Some possible #boycott targets include:

  • Streaming & Digital Subscriptions

    Apple TV+, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Premium

    → Cancel or pause subscriptions. Use alternatives like Arte, Magenta, or public broadcasting media libraries.
  • Technology – Hardware & Devices

    Apple (iPhone, Mac), Microsoft (Surface), Google (Pixel), Amazon (Alexa, Kindle)

    → Consider European or Asian alternatives when buying new devices. Repair instead of replace.
  • Automotive & Mobility

    Tesla, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Uber, Lime, Bird, Spin (U.S.-based locations)

    → Switch to European or Asian models. Buy used instead of new. Support public transportation.
  • Fashion & Lifestyle

    Nike, Levi’s, GAP, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Converse, New Balance, Victoria’s Secret

    → Prefer sustainable European brands. Shop second-hand.
  • Food & Snacks

    Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kellogg’s, Mars, Mondelez (Oreo, Milka), Heinz, Hershey’s

    → Shop locally and support smaller brands.
  • U.S. Chains & Restaurants

    McDonald’s, Burger King, Starbucks, KFC, Subway, Dunkin’

    → Support regional eateries and local cafés. Avoid fast food.
  • Travel & Tourism

    U.S. travel and U.S. airlines (e.g., Delta, American Airlines, United)

    → Choose destinations with liberal cultural policies. Fly with European carriers.
  • Finance & Payment Services

    Visa, Mastercard, PayPal

    → Where possible, switch to European alternatives or use direct bank transfers.

I know this won’t be convenient. And it remains contradictory—I’m posting this on LinkedIn, a U.S. platform.

But that’s precisely the point: I’m using its reach to raise awareness. A silent boycott only works if it becomes visible. Also: much of this might benefit both body and mind.

If you feel the same, share this post with your own statement.

P.S. The “BIC” in the photo is incorrect. I can’t change the image anymore.

Of course, the first step is to cut out all U.S. products that are (perhaps even easily) replaceable. And if it’s easy, maybe 20 million others will follow.

– Democracy of the Center, because extremist wings destroy the nation –

Thank you, Mirko, for this clear and courageous post!

I fully agree:

Democratic countries must become much more aware of their market power.

The U.S. has around 330 million people – impressive, sure.
But the European Union already has over 450 million, plus:

  • 67 million in the UK,
  • 39 million in Canada,
  • Over 1.4 billion in India,
  • 126 million in Japan,
  • 52 million in South Korea,
  • 26 million in Australia,
  • And nearly 5 million in New Zealand.

Altogether, this “coalition of willing democracies” represents more than 2.5 billion people living in free, democratic societies—and thus wields enormous economic, cultural, and political power.

Trump and his supporters need to realize: we don’t depend on them—they depend on us.

The defense of democracy doesn’t start in the voting booth alone—it begins with our daily behavior.

And yes, that includes our consumption. Those who consciously choose products that stand for democratic values (or avoid those that trample them) are taking real, tangible responsibility.

Of course, no one has to throw their iPhone in the trash. But when buying the next one, you can explore alternatives. And let’s be honest: no one needs Coca-Cola or Pepsi to survive.

I, too, started keeping a personal boycott list years ago—initially for Russia, but now it has expanded significantly. I’ve published two articles outlining my thoughts and criteria:

  1. My Personal Sanctions List: These Countries I Avoid as a Democrat and European

    → Link below *
  2. Every Purchase Funds Autocrats! Why We Must Radically Change Our Consumer Habits—And How My Personal Sanctions List Helps

    → Link below **

It’s not just about the U.S., but also about German companies that:

  • Continue doing business with autocracies like Russia,
  • Promote or tolerate anti-democratic or far-right ideologies,
  • Engage in tax avoidance that actively harms the state—and all of us.

Democracy starts at the checkout counter. And the more visible this silent boycott becomes, the greater its impact.
Thank you for raising this crucial issue!

Mexico’s President Threatens Trump and Musk: “Build Your Wall – and We Won’t Buy Anything from You!”

By

Werner Hoffmann – Democracy of the Center, because extreme wings destroy nations. –

Free World of True Democracy – Unite.

It’s no coincidence that I took a vacation in the U.S. last September.

As early as January 2024, I feared that Trump would turn the U.S. into “USA 2.0.” That’s why I asked my family to visit the U.S. one more time and take a trip along the West Coast.

What I experienced during that trip confirmed my belief that Trump will most likely become U.S. president again and drastically reshape the country.

Trump systematically undermines democracy and sees himself as above the law and the courts.

For some time now, Trump, the Republicans, right-wing populists, and the fossil fuel lobby have been strategically planning a power grab.

We are only witnessing the early stages of an imperialist force, backed by tech billionaires and the fossil fuel industry.

His plans include:

   •   Building a border wall with Mexico,

   •   Imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and Europe,

   •   Taking over Greenland,

   •   Annexing Canada as the 51st state,

   •   Seizing control of the Panama Canal,

   •   Dictating peace terms to Ukraine, ultimately leading to its destruction by Russia,

   •   Extorting Ukraine for its natural resources, including rare earth minerals.

These aren’t just signs of imperialism – they are clear statements of intent to plunder entire regions worldwide.

The real driver behind these plans is access to resources.

Trump even wants to claim Gaza as his own and turn it into a second Dubai. What’s not widely known is that about 30 miles off the coast of Gaza, massive gas reserves remain untapped due to the region’s instability. Trump could easily exploit them without facing any consequences.

Similarly, his interest in Greenland isn’t about national security, which could be addressed by expanding NATO bases. It’s about the resources buried beneath the ice.

Trump also wants access to more Arctic oil reserves, which is why he aims to integrate Canada into the U.S.

And as for the European Union, Trump’s ultimate goal is to dismantle it. It’s no coincidence that Germany’s far-right AfD is aligned with the U.S. Republican Party. In Austria, the FPÖ shares similar ties, while in Italy, there’s a close relationship between Musk and Prime Minister Meloni.

In France, Marine Le Pen is expected to rise to power after the 2027 presidential election. Until then, she must maintain a moderate image to secure her chances. However, the French should remember that Le Pen was previously involved in a financial scandal tied to Russia.

It’s time for democratic nations to stand together instead of allowing themselves to be divided.

If the world’s democracies unite, Trump and Putin’s strategies will fail.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Sends a Message to Trump and Musk on Behalf of the REST OF THE WORLD

“So, you’ve decided to build a wall… Fine, my dear Americans. Even though geography isn’t your strong suit – after all, you think ‘America’ refers only to your country and not an entire continent – you should know what you are shutting out before you lay the first brick.

There are 7 billion people outside your wall. Since you don’t seem too concerned about ‘people,’ let’s call them consumers instead.

There are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can just as easily swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.

We can stop buying Ford and Chevrolet in favor of Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that are technologically superior anyway.

These 7 billion people could also cancel their DirectTV subscriptions. And while we may not enjoy doing so, we could stop watching Hollywood movies and instead turn to Latin American and European productions, which surpass Hollywood in quality, content, and cinematography.

Believe it or not, we can stop visiting Disney theme parks and choose Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, or destinations in Canada, South America, Asia, and Europe instead.

And guess what? Mexico has better burgers than McDonald’s—healthier ones too.

Ever seen a pyramid in the U.S.? You’ll find them in Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other places, rich in fascinating history and culture.

Look up where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are…

None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!

We know Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start wearing Mexican sneaker brands like Panam.

We know far more than you think. For example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will skyrocket, and your economy will collapse within your racist wall—until you beg us to tear it down.

We wanted nothing, but… You wanted a wall? Well, now you have one.

Sincerely,

The REST OF THE WORLD.

Please share this message with 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people will remain unaware of these realities.

Economic War Escalates – Canada Slams the Door on Trump and Musk, U.S. Companies Lose Billions!

By

Stefan Vogt

Canada is taking serious action in response to Trump’s tariff war. Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford is now going all-in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the premiers of other provinces are already discussing similar measures and preparing to implement them swiftly.

This could be a crisis too big for Trump to handle.

BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford takes a hammer to Trump and Musk over disastrous MAGA tariffs – cancels a lucrative Starlink deal and bans U.S. companies from government contracts.

And this is just the beginning…

“Starting today, all U.S.-based companies are barred from participating in government contracts. Each year, our province and its agencies spend about $30 billion on procurement, in addition to our $200 billion infrastructure development plan,” Ford announced.

“U.S. companies will now lose billions in revenue, and they have only President Trump to blame,” he said bluntly.

“I’m also calling on all 444 municipalities to follow suit, and I’m glad that some have already begun.

For instance, Mayor Patrick Brown and the city of Brampton have taken action, along with many other cities,” Ford added.

“As part of this government-wide procurement ban, we’re taking things a step further. Ontario’s contract with Starlink? It’s done. It’s gone,” he declared regarding the $100 million deal.

“We will not award contracts to those who facilitate and encourage economic attacks on our province and country,” Ford emphasized.

“Along with federal tariffs and measures proposed by my fellow premiers, this is just the first response from ‘Team Canada,’” he said.

Ford has even threatened to cut electricity exports to the U.S. and impose a 25% surcharge on energy exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Meanwhile, the U.S. stock market is in free fall, and prices are already surging. If Trump doesn’t change course immediately, the economy is heading straight into a full-blown recession.
