People have absolutely gotten to a point where they don’t want any criticism even if it is meant to help us come up with plans.

No plan or idea should be single in origin and it’s by the back and forth we find plans… But people are either right or wrong with no in-between in western culture.

Are you speaking for me?

It boils down to a collection of reasonable thoughts and requests for a good protest and while I am participating through the sheer audacity that I purchase something every day like the people doing shein hauls makes me cringe it does not change my normal economic activity and therefore doesn’t change the companies you hope to take notice bottom line.

It’s about having people actually take some time to have critical thoughts about their actions and the ones we want to do to make changes.

Your dismissal is exactly how this fails to enact change.

Thank God you also are fine again tomorrow.

That would be something. Just every week we perform less and less economic activity to build up to something. Man a protest where we start at 1 day and build up to the whole week would be actually impressive.

Still likely have limited scope for who could actually participate but definitely be a bit more flushed out. Give time to build up steam and momentum and get a planned reaction.

Because this is the best people who are trying to be singular in deciding a low impact protest for their followers think of and rush to make it happen because instant gratification of a shorter turnaround time feels better with our shorter attention span.

I’m still quite annoyed that this is still thought of as some community action when it is more or less a small group of people getting some of their friends across a large global space to agree that it sounds good and then hope everyone else just agrees and does it with no end goal in sight.

It’s reactionary action without purpose or action.

Hey, did you know that half of all day to day retail spending is done by the economically top 10% of the US population.
These are people who for the most part don’t care about economic hardships of the lower classes and have closer to 65% of the liquid assets.

They already under spend for their wealth and likely also won’t care about this. And will spend or not and make no impact.

Not to be negative, but to be realistic.
This is pointless.
Like literally without a point or purpose but to “show those business we mean business” and that isn’t an actual point and they don’t care about a 1 day shopping freeze.

The reach on this with it already being the day of the protest is already a major hinderance to any progress hoped to be achieved and then we still don’t have a point.

Honestly we need to be deciding what change we actually want to have occur and start steering the ship that way little action at a time as possible but instead let’s just keep trying to make 1 day events a thing with the shock the wealthy see of us standing together enough to make them see the light of God and turn around and change for us. I’m sure that will eventually work even though it never has.

He’s definitely showing his old man in this. He really just thinks this is a clever deal and will make people flock to buy their way in and get more wealthy people therefore more wealth.

Honestly New Zealand could do this and put the price at $500 million and they would absolutely get takers.

He really does think America is the greatest asset to sell and that’s so worrying for anyone living in it.
