tbh that is on us Germans. If you ask most Germans who are not constantly flooded with actual American culture, but only know it from TV and movies, they will put a cliché US American in a cowboy hat, give him a mustache, and hand him a gun. He also might drive an insanely big car. But yeah, cowboy very much is what many think off, when someone asks them to describe a US American.

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

Slave labor and borderline slave labor allow cheap junk to be made for so little that some companies can make up for the loss several times over by claiming it on insurance, getting government subsidies, or even selling certain things as scrap or filler to other industries. Companies are so frequently part of some vast network of brands owned by the same entity that they can waste a billion dollars without batting an eye. Just saturating a market with *your* unsellable shit can be seen as advantageous if it helps push out a competitor. Someone buying one new pair of shoes for $20 can mean they just covered the manufacturing cost for 500 pairs. Passive boycotting isn’t going to work ever again at this point. The only ways any of this can change will unfortunately require vastly, vastly more work from more people than just telling Twitter to stop buying pants or switching a fast food chain to paper straws.

Colonizers think “land back” is gonna look like mass-slaughter and expulsion bc thats what they did to us, sorta like how a cheater is always the most paranoid/insecure about their partner being potentially unfaithful. It’s pure projection.
