A grassroots organization is encouraging U.S. residents not to spend any money Friday as an act of “economic resistance” to protest what the group’s founder sees as the malign influence of billionaires, big corporations and both major political parties on the lives of working Americans.
Please don’t waste your time with this. You should rather do anything else. Boycott is the weakest form of protest. It’s always organized by uncreative people who don’t have any idea what else to do.
I say that as a vegan.
Please go to a protest or a leftist org or literally read a leftist book, anything is better than not shopping for a day.
Or maybe do one of those oh-so-much-better things you mentioned while participating in this event that so, so many other people are participating in too?
There aren’t going to be any medals, my dude. Nobody is going give you a plaque that congratulates you for trying harder at leftism then anyone else.
If you want to organize something bigger, nobody’s stopping you, but nobody is impressed with the dick-waving.
Sure, participate in it, but don’t expect too much.
