    People have absolutely gotten to a point where they don’t want any criticism even if it is meant to help us come up with plans.

    No plan or idea should be single in origin and it’s by the back and forth we find plans… But people are either right or wrong with no in-between in western culture.



  • It boils down to a collection of reasonable thoughts and requests for a good protest and while I am participating through the sheer audacity that I purchase something every day like the people doing shein hauls makes me cringe it does not change my normal economic activity and therefore doesn’t change the companies you hope to take notice bottom line.

    It’s about having people actually take some time to have critical thoughts about their actions and the ones we want to do to make changes.

    Your dismissal is exactly how this fails to enact change.




  • That would be something. Just every week we perform less and less economic activity to build up to something. Man a protest where we start at 1 day and build up to the whole week would be actually impressive.

    Still likely have limited scope for who could actually participate but definitely be a bit more flushed out. Give time to build up steam and momentum and get a planned reaction.

    Because this is the best people who are trying to be singular in deciding a low impact protest for their followers think of and rush to make it happen because instant gratification of a shorter turnaround time feels better with our shorter attention span.

    I’m still quite annoyed that this is still thought of as some community action when it is more or less a small group of people getting some of their friends across a large global space to agree that it sounds good and then hope everyone else just agrees and does it with no end goal in sight.

    It’s reactionary action without purpose or action.

    Hey, did you know that half of all day to day retail spending is done by the economically top 10% of the US population.
    These are people who for the most part don’t care about economic hardships of the lower classes and have closer to 65% of the liquid assets.

    They already under spend for their wealth and likely also won’t care about this. And will spend or not and make no impact.

    Not to be negative, but to be realistic.
    This is pointless.
    Like literally without a point or purpose but to “show those business we mean business” and that isn’t an actual point and they don’t care about a 1 day shopping freeze.

    The reach on this with it already being the day of the protest is already a major hinderance to any progress hoped to be achieved and then we still don’t have a point.

    Honestly we need to be deciding what change we actually want to have occur and start steering the ship that way little action at a time as possible but instead let’s just keep trying to make 1 day events a thing with the shock the wealthy see of us standing together enough to make them see the light of God and turn around and change for us. I’m sure that will eventually work even though it never has.



  • Ok, how many times did they post it?

    Cause I looked and I saw 2 comments of this.
    And this is a platform where the different instances have different posts and comments sections and maybe they just want to have a conversation about their wild low stake conspiracy so they commented it twice in the 2 threads they saw of this?

    If I am missing something let me know but I do wonder what you mean by your point.

    Yeah, the logic seems sound but is a bit what-about.

    The problem is that it is a lot of luck and some strong resolve but the luck is very important.
    People should grab the reigns of their life and try to get out of a bad situation but if life paths barely work for motivation then life paths to get out of sharing the same odds does make it quite the uphill battle.

    I just want to recognize that as trying so hard to get that perfect life turnaround is like winning the lottery and while people shouldn’t stop trying I don’t want them to be burned out by the lack of response to their efforts in this complicated world.


  • In life there really isn’t correct answers. There are your answers. Everything comes with a heavy dose of reality being complicated.
    I would say it doesn’t really speak to motivation. Their motivation was to leave everything behind and start over which isn’t very motivating past being able to do so. It doesn’t lead to happiness it just changes the days you have which may feel better while it still feels new.

    Everything we share is a chance for others to understand us more. It might not be deep but it is a perspective shared that I’m just pushing back against.

    Is it really pessimistic to just disagree with a point of view that I find to be a poor message or is it that way cause you want to assume the motivation is correct to handling life?

    Why can’t it just be that this is my perspective that I share out for others?

    Yeah if you are at the point of having to swap out an entire organ you are not going to have a great time.

    It is a shame that she died young but entropy and death does not care for the money you have.

    She can at least be free of never being alone in a room with Joss Whedon ever again but life would be more fair if he was the one who died alone on the floor.

    They think they have figured out some other secret other than freedom to make mistakes because they have the financial backing to make them is what sets them apart.

    Life is full of people thinking that if other follow their exact steps it will work without realizing the things they have differently, such as money and resources, even just skills or biological quirks, do make quite the difference in being able to followed.

    I’m not against them sharing it worked for them but that’s as far as I feel it goes.
