This US gift shop in my old neighborhood in Sweden was having a 50% discount sale a few weeks ago amid the ongoing boycott of US products.
An old neighbour sent me this pic of what it looks like a few weeks later. Oh well

10 years ago, you were accused of being "a communist" if you talked about boycotting USA. Now, to boycott USA seems to be approved and encouraged. The liberal media in Sweden has never reported so much about people boycotting the USA as they do today. Haha

"The liberal media in Sweden has never reported so much about people boycotting the USA as they do today" - I think the latest stats were that 20% of Swedes already boycott US products and over 60% are already either boycotting or considering boycotting US goods.

Similar stats all over the West, of course.

I’m dying to know what American products Swede’s are boycotting.

Apple, Meta, Google or Netflix? What about HBO? Amazon?

And for how long exactly, these surveys don’t say. They just say that some portion of those asked have boycotted. We know people who rage into movements are not the most disciplined actors.

I found some figures

29% said they have boycotted American products, THE LAST MONTH.

10% say they have abstained completely.
19% say they just boycotted select products.

I am not holding my breath given how “successful” the Israeli boycott movement is versus how tiny the Israeli footprint is.

French interviewees in that clip asking to keep their surname secret because they have relatives in the USA that they fear for, should their surnames be released. Yes, this is where we are.
