How is something like this even enforceable? People who are privately boycotting things aren't going to be saying shit about it all over social media under their legal names if something like this passes into law. Though it would be funny to see if the troons who are running homebrew sites because they realized most of their hormones came from Israel will get caught in something like this.

H.R.867 - IGO Anti-Boycott Act
This bill expands an existing anti-boycott law to include certain boycotts imposed by international governmental organizations (IGOs).

Current law prohibits various actions by U.S. persons (individuals or entities) in relation to boycotts imposed by foreign governments on a country which is friendly to the United States and that is not itself the object of a U.S. boycott. This bill applies those prohibitions to similar boycotts imposed by IGOs.

Prohibited actions include (1) refusing to do business with companies organized under the laws of the boycotted country, if the refusal is pursuant to an agreement with or request from the country or IGO imposing the boycott; (2) refusing to employ any U.S. person on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin; and (3) furnishing information about whether someone is associated with charitable or fraternal organizations that support the boycotted country.

The bill also requires the President to annually submit to Congress and make available to the public a report describing these boycotts and listing the foreign countries and international organizations involved in fostering or imposing them.

The bill expands an existing law which prohibits US persons or businesses from participating in boycotts imposed by foreign countries against allies of the United States. The proposal expands it to also include boycotts by IGOs like the UN or the Council of Europe, or the Arab League. So, US businesses can't participate in boycotts imposed by foreign powers against US allied countries or refuse to employ US citizens who are originally from those countries. It does not ban US citizens from having their own private boycotts on their own initiative.

What industries would ADULTS be proud to work manufacturing in?

Manufacturing big, expensive things is always prestigious. Think oil field stuff, heavy equipment.

I'd be happy to work in any well-paying manufacturing industry, as long as it wasn't something degenerate. Maybe some men wouldn't want to manufacture tampons or size XXXXXXL lingerie?

But no one wants to show up at their kid's career day and say they manufacture butt plugs. Actually...I'm sure a few would. But normal people anyway.

The tsars played no small part in squandering things I feel.
500 million people is only useful to the extent that you can arm and supply the military you recruit from it. But to do that you need some serious industry. It’s hard to industrialise when the society you set up is mainly made out of dirt poor farmers. And when you do introduce industry to the cities, half of the workers there become members of a dangerous third column just waiting to chimp out at a moments notice.

Good thing Russia had the fastest growing industrial base in the world prior to WW1. If it weren't for that traitor Kerensky then Russia likely lasts another year and leaves WW1 with an exploding population and as the hegemon of Europe with both Germany and Austria humbled or outright dismantled.

If anything, the Tsars were far too lenient when it came to liberals and socialists running around. It's clear that the secret police, which only numbered 17,000 compared to the nearly 2,000,000 at the height of the NKVD/KGB, was not enough to uproot insane revolutionaries that would go on to preform unspeakable evils.

If anything I'm more disappointed that Russia held out for so long. The Central Powers were objectively better than the Entente.

They seem to think Hitler was a liberal with nationalistic tendencies who was just a bit too based for his own day.

this is unironically how groypers/modern Nazis see hitler and how he's described in Europa the last battle

they genuinely believe hitler was a separate but equal segregationist who wanted everyone to be friends

hilariously hitler complains about these third world types in Mein Kampf

There's posts popping up on Xitter that the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, was pulled from House vote.

The bill would amend existing law to punish international government organizations (along with people and other entities) who boycott Israel.

The bill would basically punish people/companies who boycott Israel.

This is a funny take because I was just thinking how if Biden had done this, y'all would be mocking the shit out of him right now. But because it's y'all's lord and Savior Trump, it's based.

No it's stupid as hell. Star Wars sucks ass, and has sucked ass for most of my life. What's based, is how one stupid little picture is making all of the worst people seethe.

In exchange for one goofy AI-generated image and some text saying "we are the good side and you are the bad side", we get all this liberal rage for free. It's a bargain, Star Wars or not.

Canada, BTFO.

Tons of bigger budget TV shows film in Canada. They get incentives from the Canadian govt, plus shooting on location is cheaper up there. That's why TV shows will show a location that's supposed to be in the American south or small town California, but it looks like British Colombia.

Hannibal had a couple scenes that were supposed to be in West Virginia and a few midwest states, but the trees and landscape were clearly way, way north. They showed ice fishing that was supposed to be in the middle of Northern Virginia not far from the Pentagon for gods sake.
