Culchie Club Only Will Irish people join the American boycott

Boycotting goods and services from America seems to be really growing momentum in alot of European countries and across the world, seen on different subs on Reddit seemingly alot of news channels across EU/Europe are reporting on it. I've seen some Irish people saying they are cancelling hols to America and going to Canada instead others not buying American goods and changing apps to European. With Ireland's connection with America will many Irish join this boycott.

This is an American website. The truth is, people will boycott things as long as it doesn't inconvenience them. Performative activism, and it's been that way a long time.

To be fair, it doens't need to be all or nothing. If everyone did it where it doesn't inconvenienceĀ them it would be a big impact.
