Don’t be an ass… it makes you look like an ass and doesn’t help the effort. I gave you some real things that could be done like were being requested. If you can’t see the difference between a performance and a real action then that’s your problem.
I’m resisting performative bullshit. Swear off of these fuckers permanently.
Exactly this. A one day boycott is strictly performative.
It’s bullshit and not effort at all. I didn’t shop anywhere yesterday. Do I get a gold star?
As a bare minimum, show up and picket. Everyone go in first thing when the store opens and fill their baskets with all the things they were going to buy and then simultaneously park them in front of the checkout lanes and walk out. Make sure the ice cream is buried in the bottom of the cart.
Detailed solution: Find something real instead of symbolic, mental-masturbation. I don’t have to offer anything more complex to call bullshit what it is.
Commit to 6 months or they’ll never even notice or care. Based on the most recent POTUS election, roughly 1/3 of the population agrees with you. 1/3 of the population just plain doesn’t give a fuck. The final 1/3 of the population will choose to buy extra on your day of boycott just to say fuck you. Now of the 1/3 of the population that agrees with you, we might say quite generously that 20% will even know about this. Of that 20% you’ll be lucky to get 10% participation. At the end of this one day, it doesn’t mean a damned thing.
I think it’s absolutely horrible what Amazon has done (and Wal-Mart before them), but I still buy some stuff from them for a variety of reasons. Not least of all is the fact that the 1/3 of the population that actually gives a shit all stopped shopping there permanently it wouldn’t even slow them down.
Any/ever “don’t shop on x day” is strictly symbolic and mental masturbation.
What a performative complete waste of time. Do something real or do nothing at all.
quickly add up to a collective impact.
It will have absolutely no impact except for giving the shitheads on the other side some new ridicule material.
what a fucking joke
I’m far more pissed off at the Democrats who have done nothing and are all out of ideas than I am at the Republicans who pretty clearly said they were going to do this.
Yeah, I considered that and decided that was no fun… :)
Putting it sticky side up doesn’t really let it stick to the wall…
The pole would basically be a space elevator. I suspect gravity and inertia would effectively keep you from moving the stick. Even if you could move it, you’d only be able to move it at a speed that would seem like it’s stationary. As such, the light would still be faster.
Is that what they did? What was the one day that they chose to quit buying bud light? Is that all they did? Just a one day boycott and then go back into silence and resume drinking bud light? I remember it somewhat differently…
