The boycott isn't realistic for a lot of us and if you get mad at that, check your privilege before coming for me.

i don’t care if the boycott won’t work, i’m still participating in it because i CAN and it’s just the right thing to do!!!!

If you're unable to use critical thinking skills, then basically anyone who's ever worked a retail or food service job can let you know that the pathetic virtue signaling single day boycott did not and will not ever make a dent. If you hate these companies so much dont be a pussy. Protest them indefinitely. Like an actual boycott.

Protest them indefinitely? Like stop purchasing all goods and services? That doesn’t seem very realistic, my friend.

We’re a very domesticated species. Finding a solution to our problem with a strategy that interoperates with our domestication, rather than requiring the complete disruption and abandonment of it, is going to be more likely to be successful.

It’s a fact that the system extracts value from us both as laborers and as consumers. Trying to find ways to cause disruption from both sides is not the worst idea in the world. And although you’re scolding me for even inquiring (punishing people for asking questions, hm? Who does that remind you of?), establishing some evidence that an online collective movement like that could influence business bottom lines in one way or another would not be a bad lever to know about.

YALL i have never been so excited in my life ngl

i totally forgot it was the 28th and i’ve been going out to different stores for my exposure therapy recently so i hop in the car and go to target

i park and am like hm seems really slow today which is weird bc the honkeys around here LOVE target it is always packed esp on a friday

so whatever i park and walk in and this place is dead. could count on my hands how many ppl were shopping in that place and it hits me. ITS THE BLACKOUT DAY!!! and omfg people are actually doing it. to the point where i can visibly see a difference.

and i know that’s not what it’s about. but sometimes it really does feel so good to be able to SEE the effort instead of having to just tell myself it’s happening

so ofc i turned my ass around and walked out and idk this is so exciting. i know it’s small but it is a start and even in my area where ppl just really care so much about themselves and it is always so fast paced ppl are actually participating and yeah.

this is just the beginning we can do this

For everybody who thought I was wrong about the blackout:

As predicted, Monster Hunter Wilds has surpassed even Elden Ring in concurrent players... On its first day out.

24-hour blackouts don't do shit. Won't do shit. Boycott like you fucking mean it.

Hey do we have any stats on how the blackout went yesterday? I just want to know how much of an impact it had and what else we can do
