  • Yeah nevermind my other comment.
    This is some bullshit that they think doubling down does anything other than make themselves look like further fools for ignoring the objective reality of having to adjust your position to match the real world.
    And instead it’s now about shouting the right thing to get the right kind of feedback from the echo chamber of people thinking they agreeing with themselves this much means more than just now they need to wash their hands from all the ball fondling they are doing for each other in here.

    It’s basically pointless cesspool equal to truth social except for people that want an economic policy they think more directly favors them instead of millionaires and somehow that makes them in any kind of shape or form better people rather than a different flavor of self servicing conservative.

    Yeah. Anyways, sorry you tried but I appreciated it.

    I still think it is wild that we don’t include house prices in inflation, cause it was removed to use rent to match the “average American experience” which just means they no longer expect average people to ever buy a house.

    So no houses and no burgers.

    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.
