Boycotting the US is silly. Boycott shitty corporations and you are already boycotting the US anyway, in effect. Nothing changes here. (slrpnk.net)

You should be boycotting these companies already because they support extreme right politics by their ALEC membership:

FedEx
UPS
Motorola
Anheuser Busch
American Express
Bose
Chevron
Marlboro
Sony
Texaco
Boeing (fly on Airbus instead, see how to boycott Boeing)

You should be boycotting Amazon for many reasons.

If you oppose private prisons, then you already boycott these banks:

#BankOfAmerica (#BofA)
#FifthThird
#JPMorgan #Chase
#PNC Bank
#Suntrust
#USBank (#USBancorp)
#WellsFargo

Don’t think they are out of reach to Europe -- many European small banks that you assume are ethical actually outsource their investments to JP Morgan. Also, BofA uses different branding outside the US.

If you like transparency with food labeling, then you endorse labeling of #GMO food, in which case you boycott companies that lobbied against GMO labeling. There are hundreds of companies that fucked us over, but these are the top ten financers of anti-labeling lobby:

PepsiCo
Nestlé
General Mills
Coca-Cola
ConAgra
Campbell Soup
The Hershey Company
J.M. Smucker
Kellogg
Mondelez

Some of those mushroom into many brands. See the attached infographic.

If you want to avoid Microsoft and Google, good luck with that because a vast majority of search engines use either Microsoft’s Bing API or Google’s API.

That’s an easy one. For the past several years, this was the absolute best:

ombrelo.im5wixghmfmt7gf7wb4xrgdm6byx2gj26zn47da6nwo7xvybgxnqryid.onion

That service scraped from Google and Bing thus did not finance them. It also filtered out Cloudflare resuits. It’s gone now, but there are countless other instances which do not use the MS or Google API (which feeds them). Most searx instances scrape the results, which ultimately costs MS and Google.
