"company x" first class sub skeeting

Fact is it does hurt companies, they just hate to admit it because stonks will drop more.

Nice!

well, fair

For the same reason I am doing my own (but would love others to join!) protest #JOYfullyRockTheRevolution #RockInEasterProtest painting rocks not throwing them. Want to start “hiding” for Easter across the nation, some subversive joyful color against this regime.

I've heard of people cancelling their Teslas. It's small steps but everything counts.

👍👍

Agreed. I’ve been boycotting Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and Chick-fil-a for years. I do it for me.

Aligning a simple small action with your beliefs also helps aligning future actions, which might have bigger impact. Investing in something guides you to protect the investment, so worth thinking what you want to protect.

Agreed.

That’s enough for me. I realize the impact a coordinated boycott can have and I support that too - but I’m also comfortable with my multiple boycotts of one. But I did always like that starfish parable on perceived futility and meaningful action.

Agreed, you boycott to feel good about yourself, not to change the world, and that’s enough.

I had someone I love tell me she would rather be ignorant than put forth the level of effort it takes to figure out which stores stand up for good ethics. It hurts my heart so much when people choose to turn away from simple changes. Especially when this administration will gleefully harm them.

That being said we do need to find the actions which will be impactful. Sadly those are usually hard. EG, forming a union, developing class consciousness, doing a general strike, arming the proletariat and seizing the means of produc . . . I mean, losing weight, etc.

Thank you for putting into words what I had been feeling
