Real doing something is a long term boycott. Not a one day thing. Real doing something is labor organization, unions allow collaboration at a higher level, and allow you to strike back at the throat.
Even protesting at a leftist capital is doing more than a single day’s blackout.
Go exercise your second amendment by a conservative senator’s house if you really want to do something (and I don’t mean that as a shoot them euphemism. Make them uncomfortable.)
The organization that organized the economic blackout has longer-term boycotts planned in the coming weeks. This is just the opening salvo. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
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.
You say placate, I say practice. People who have never protested a day in their lives aren’t going to start out with a multi-month blackout. They need to get used to protesting by starting small.
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”.

I guess we’ll both stay tuned and see whose prognosticating is right here.
This is verifiable stuff. Lol. You clowns will believe whatever makes you feel better about yourself without any regard for reality.
