This is the level we need to be at. Now. The minimum level.

The production shelf space was the premium. By the time a distributor has it, it matters far less.

This isn’t a beginning. This is going to be a huge blow to the movement when nothing happens.

That is literally not how it works with people. They will feel like they did their job and move on. They will do this instead of actually helping. There isn’t any escalation. There’s a week (not long enough) hit on specific companies and other “days”.

There’s danger in wasting opposition efforts. People will lose hope when these nonsense attempts have no impact. People will spend efforts doing this and feeling productive without actually accomplishing anything. We really don’t have the luxury of throwing effort away.

Dems didn’t protect democracy. I have no faith they ever will.

And that’s why I specified feasible.

You’re really forcing it at that point. Wine can’t run most of what I need to use for work. I’m excited for the day I can ditch Windows, but it’s not any time soon unfortunately. I’ll have to live with WSL.

This isn’t an economic protest. This is slacktivism. One day or a handful of days will have exactly zero effect. Every one of you advocating for it and defending it is actively hurting the effort. You are the fascists best friend.

I used to do production coordination. This isn’t an issue. If Tony expects to sells two peaches a day, but this week he sold three yesterday and one today it’s all the same. The amounts average out over time. You will have to hit them for much, much longer than a day to have ANY effect.

One day or a handful of days is meaningless slacktivism.

Yep. Learned to farm. We should have an overabundance of food this year. I’ve been teaching my local communities to be self reliant and collectively bargain. We’re close to community policing, community gardens and expanding firearms training.

Did you know Grainger and other companies are willing to make a deal with large groups, like HOAs or Recreational groups, and offer discounts on services and tools?

Power to the people. This is what real change looks like.

And what are they doing for that? Because there’s no plan for that right now.

This is a much better plan. Much better. We should be organizing longer pauses with different targets. We should have a different one every week or longer.

One day will do nothing. This is slacktivism. Every one of them is a useful fool for the fascists.

Stopping for one day isn’t a protest.

You’re not getting “good”. A one day pause is not an effective strategy in any sense. It’s slacktivism. It’ll placate people who would have otherwise taken actual action.

This is it. If we want to have any effect it needs to be much longer than a day. One month would make a statement. You could even cave out food. You could also have people cancel their endless list of subscriptions or just scale back their lifestyle for a greater effect than a one day pause.

People will stock up the day before and binge the day after. It’s not effective or realistic. This is slacktivism. It’s not pessimism to tell you that it’s a dumb plan.

It won’t work because people are just going to stock up the day before and binge the day after. No one is going to feel anything.

It’s like they’re trying to force only two options- Either Democrats are beyond reproach and you have to vote for them, or you hate democracy. I’m not allowed to be critical of Dems and have voted for them. I’m not allowed to call them complicit or call out their lack of resistance.

I’m going to be very critical of Dems and I’m going to keep a close eye out for any feasible alternatives. I’m hard out if they put AOC up.

Non Americans don’t understand and assume we have the same liberties as them.

“Just do die in the street and achieve nothing” Isn’t the compelling moral argument many Canadians seem to think it is.
