    It makes me think this is more of an effort to get people to feel apathetic. Get them trying to do something that they thought might create change but had no real material effect. What we need is a general strike if we want them to take notice. No garbage man cleaning the trash, no janitor cleaning the shit stains in their executive office, no valet making them park themselves, no drivers to drive their drunk coked up asses around, no cooks to prep their meals, no assistant reminding them they can’t keep track of their head without the people they try and fuck on a daily basis. That is something that even just a day would have them shitting bricks, and with no one to clean up for them, they would have to fester in the shit show they have made. That’s the only way we get them to take notice and realize the masses are serious about change.

      I swear to god Americans will make any excuse they can to stay apathetic. You spent more energy bitching about it here than it takes to actually follow through.

      They’ve repeatedly stated that the goal is to get people used to participating in an boycott while working towards doing it for a week or longer. It’s not supposed to have a huge impact.

      This why I have no hope for America. We act like a protest should get us what we want overnight when in reality we’ll need sustain pressure in multiple ways for YEARS to have a real impact. It isn’t about doing one thing, it’s about doing everything you can.

      Reddit/Lemmy bitches and moans when people don’t organize and bitches and moans when they do.

        yeah this whole time I was thinking about how folks are willing to put in an aweful lot of effort to say someone elses effort is not worth it. I have to say though I found three accounts to block through this by checking through account histories. either shills or alt fuck around accounts or just folks that don’t seem to interact in what I would consider a humanistic type of way.
