Psycho Pete's Living Guide to Boycotting the Big Orange Menace Updated 3/7/2026

People are waiting on some things from me: updates, additions, a promised starter pack, but I’m pretty ill. With these sick fucks in charge of our health, it’s probably the bubonic plague. In the meantime, please help spread the boycott guide: psychopete1.substack.com/p/psycho-pet...

Stephen Miller is the puppet master of the US. Every single person outside of the US sees this. Wake up America.

So when this happens in Canada, um wait it hasn’t. Let me reframe that. When an existing government in Canada pisses off Canadians we annihilate the party so that they have to reinvent themselves.

A plaque at the War Remnant’s Museum in Saigon that reads β€œMy solution would be to tell them (the North Vietnamese) frankly that they’ve got to draw in their horns…, or we’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age.”

Good night from Vietnam! So much to share about this country from its food, it’s history, it’s culture but most of all about its people. 🧡

We have a lot to learn in North America where we react negatively to anyone different from us. To anyone whose colour is something to be feared. The Vietnamese people epitomize humanity at its greatest. End 🧡

The traffic is beyond chaotic with cars and motorbikes vying for position yet there is no road rage. Cars give way to bikes, bikes give way to cars and both give way to pedestrians. It is the ultimate in how a society can function peacefully. 🧡

For a communist country the people are thriving. So many have businesses they have built from the ground up. Everywhere the smiles are huge. 🧡

They are kind, they are happy, they are friendly but most of all they are non judgmental. We can learn a lot about how to be a good human from this country who has experienced unbelievable warfare. 🧡
