    I’m an idiot, I thought this was a March 😂

    But this is still super not effective. How do people think this affects anything. It also is kind of ick too. If you have the energy and time you organize this, why not just shit post for a week instead. You’ll get more mileage. The most effective thing is spreading a message. I have no idea what refusing to buy things for a day will do. You need to spread a message so this action can be sustain. It needs to be a new Zeitgeist. This “do this for a day” stuff acts more like a pressure relief. Like we all watch the day come and go and nothing changes then we go back to our lives. Instead, make content and posted outside our echo chambers at a level that moderation can’t sustain. This is what the Republicans did. Get your message to the faces of people who fence sit

      ‘It’s also kind of ick too” Jesus Christ

      Refusing to buy things is one of the few ways we have to protest businesses. Your whole comment reeks of naivety, similar to people to who have never read history and believe in peaceful revolution. lol
