Jus crashed my cybertruck then bought a maserati

The amount of people I’ve seen respond to it with “Well, I wasn’t really planning on buying anything then anyway.”.

Yes, clearly that means it’s an effective movement if it costs you absolutely 0 convenience or effort on your part whatsoever.

But it doesn’t send a message if you aren’t prepared to do so for weeks or even months.

Advertising it as one day where the vast majority of the populace probably isn’t even aware of it to begin with (not to mention the amount of people who’ll claim to be a part of it, but only for online brownie points when in reality they absolutely buy something off of Amazon or go grocery shopping at Walmart) lets these companies know “Eh, it’s just one day.” even if the lines goes down slightly.

It’s just one day.

I’ve explained it in the reply to the guy I was talking to.

Americans boycotting their favorite passtime, shopping, for a one day form of activism is just... idk man

This s*** could work Mexicans had coke going crazy LMAO

This is the dumbest thing i’ve ever read

Cancelled prime.

But not cause of blackout i was gon get charged $15 in 2 days!

“Sending a message”

Nobody really learned a thing from Luigi
RT @Snowboy

Just purchased several products from an array of corporations

an economic blackout lol ok

long post, and this aint solely directed at you

But this action has already happened in the past and these same types of people swear this is all they gotta do. Meanwhile they stay isolated and stay to themselves and nothing happens.

how do yall claim to want a revolution but yall cant even make friends? - ghais guevara via ig

At the very least, if your bleeding heart cares enough about these issues. Participate in (from an individual standpoint) educating yourself on these issues. Go to paid panels or discussions online about these issues (that way you are actually putting $$$ into the hands of ppl that deserve it), or in real life go to discussions about it where you meet like minded individuals that you might make a (platonic) spark as a fellow comrade. Maybe even learn or join up on some initiatives that said comrade(s) is doing.

Up here in nyc it’s starting to warm up, and my sundays bout to be open after this church gig so ima go to my fav local community gardens and help volunteer. Community building is such an important part of any of this s***.

America killing third spaces was intentional the more we isolate the less we organize/migrate for likely causes. This the time to honestly be outside and just see what you can do, see what your homies is involved in.

Maybe itll end up like a bandcamp fridays type thing, every month or so

I’m getting Taco Bell

Just purchased a model kit from a corporate entity that shall not be named

Ive been boycotting those slimy f***s for years since they stole $200 off me for an AWS student project i couldnt turn off right the first time. F*** those c***s jeff owes me

Amazon Prime has 180 million members. More than half the population of the country, 3 out of every 5 adults.

Boycotting Amazon is a big deal

My active boycott list:

Tesla / Twitter / X
Balenciaga
H&M
Gucci
Amazon
Kellogg’s
Moncler
Yeezy
Walmart

I completely agree with you on that. I don’t think this should be an end all be all. What I guess I don’t like is people s***ting on things like this without context or encouragement for bigger ways to protest/send messages. We need more of what you just said versus “lol ain’t s*** gonna happen from this ima go order doordash libtards” as a response. Feel me?

Before this day, I didn’t see anyone encouraging others to push for a bigger protest or give examples of how we can create massive change. And yes you an research ways on your own but I’d like us to start thinking like a community and help each other and s***.

That's how it is until you come up dollars short
