I don't hate all Americans, I've met some really cool ones over the years. But I do hate its fake democracy, its vulgar, parasitic oligarchs, its deceitful propaganda networks and the lust for war and global domination that drenches all three.

American exceptionalism is basically a circle-jerk.
I Boycott American products because I'm 3 'once-in-a-lifetime' recessions deep and cannot afford them
I'm an American,and I boycott US products because they're shit quality.
Before all this we used to say “Chinese quality, German price”
That's the most accurate description that I have ever heard.

there is problems with the buy european movement as outlines in other comments here, but as an American: please continue boycotting us, the chances of our government changing for the better are slim, but every bit of protest matters.
I don’t get it
Pro-Euro vs anti-US. The "buy European" movement is generally occupied by a mixture of genuine anti-US protestors, as well as various European nationalists. Kinda like how cottagecore got captured by the far-right, the lack of a cohesive line is leading to some groups pushing Euro-flavored fascism as an alternative to US-flavored fascism, as far right parties increasingly gain ground in the EU.

You boycot american products because you think you are american.
I don't because America is a continent not a single country.
This. I’ve gotten some pushback on it, but I believe the US shouldn’t own the term “American”. I say that as a US American.
They don't "own" anything. In multiple languages another correct way to name them is the equivalent of Unitedstadian, this is true for French and Spanish.

Hi, nice to meet you. Where are you from? America. Oh, like Mexico or Chile?
It's always fun to see their faces :)

Hey hey these two things aren't mutually exclusive!
I don't want to see you flying your colonial-ass flag Canada, I want to see you supporting small, local, and indigenous owned businesses. Be pro-people, don't be pro-country.
I boycott products because I'm a freaking cheapskate.
I boycott american products because they simply are not worth their price

Anti-imperialism would make more sense. The US is not the only asshole...
When it comes to contemporary imperialist assholery the US is #1 by far. Since after WW2 they've been nothing but shitting on humanity, between the CIA installing puppet dictators to wars (open and secret) killing tens of millions. The list of countries they have fucked with is too long to post here.
And now their former closest allies are annexation targets.

Boycut companies with too much market power. They just happen to be quite concentrated in the US.
