    No. People should boycott all companies which operates in an evil country

    Which countries aren’t evil? I believe we are all on the same boat here that’s why people need to help each other rather than picking up nationalistic fights.

      It seems reality-denying to me to say “there are only companies, not countries”

      Obviously there are countries and governments and states.

      Do you think the boycott of South Africa was a bad idea?

      Sorry, but usa is indeed very much more evil than most other countries. E.g. overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries, committing war crimes, taking the side of other countries invading others, etc. All countries are not equally bad and usa is one of the worst, especially with Trump in power.

        UK is a monarchy, Italy is ruled by a fascist pm, France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. Are we supposed to buy goods only from corporations in iceland?

          Not sure what your point is regarding the UK being a monarchy.

          It’s a Constitutional Monarchy, which means that the monarch isn’t allowed to make decisions by itself.

          There’s still a representational government there. There are elections every so often.

          Also I don’t see the evil in a monarchy either.
