I was sent this by a friend who saw it trending around various social media which I don't use.
Personally, I think it would do good to lengthen the economic blackouts to 3-7 days. But, any coordination helps, and I think the weeklong corporate boycotts will at least send a message.
I'm looking for other places to share this. I checked BuildTheResistance, but I couldn't figure out a way to submit dates for a protest without a link to a site. I have a link for the February 28th blackout, and I would be grateful to anyone that could help me in sourcing these other protests.
EDIT: found the sources! They're all by The People's Union USA. It's just that all the boycotts besides the 28th are tucked away in their FAQs page.
I should say, as well: I think general boycotts are a good idea, and I support the idea of protesting on these dates. However, I don't necessarily trust The People's Union USA. They have a login feature. Don't be so foolish as to make an account on a fucking resistance website.
Sure thing ๐
From tough guy to sarcastic child. Didn't take long to get there lol.
It's a stupid question for obvious reasons
Go on over to an Antifa instance and ask 'em what their plans are
They'll definitely tell you everything
What a dumbass
A hypocritical dumbass at that. I'm trying to motivate people to do more than just symbolic gestures, people need to take action in the face of a fascist criminal regime whose goal is to overthrow the government and instead you're wasting your time berating someone who actual does take action?
And you want me to broadcast what those plans are?
Dumbass
Well, Antifa also doesn't constantly say "we're doing illegal things guys, you need to do illegal things too!" Your praxis isn't exactly hiding your intentions. And you're not motivating anyone, you're shitting on any effort anyone makes that you see as less effective than your own.
Maybe I'm just venting at the perceived inaction of like-minded people
That's fair, I'd vent too if I thought everyone around me was doing nothing. But they are doing something, and that should be encouraged.
No matter if you think your actions are more justified, and they're not doing enough. What they're doing is contributing to the same cause. Don't make enemies out of your allies.
Not more justified, just more effective.
