    Better protest is to act as if there is a recession. Buy only what you need, and if possible seek an alternative from a smaller manufacturer. As aways don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

        And we need those who are not to join in a similar behavior to help the protest

      What is the protest though? What are the demands and how will we know when they are achieved?

      The best answer I can get in these threads is to “send a message” of “general discontent”, but protests just don’t really work that way.

      Decide what you want and figure out what to boycott in order to harm the people that are able to grant it.

        Maybe make a trivial amount of effort to find those details yourself.

        It’s a response to the active class warfare happening, including the anti-DEI efforts.

        Targeted boycotts aren’t enough anymore. Too many major corporations, often without adequate competition, are working against us.

          Sorry, the article you linked doesn’t list any demands.

          The closest it comes is this:

          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.

          This demonstrates my point really. There’s a general sense of dissatisfaction with billionaires and with capitalism, but there are no demands. If you’re not demanding anything, how will you know when you have achieved your goal?
