Internet blackout would definitely mean staying uninformed for a week, but honestly that doesn't sound like a terrible idea.

Not everyone is going to be a radical, no matter what's right or what's wrong.

Pushing the public to take a step toward less dependence on corporations is still a good thing. Is it the cure-all? No. But a step in the right direction is what a lot of people need to start waking up.

I assume because this is more for the normies. I plan to keep my wallet away from these companies regardless, but some people need a little push.

If they can give up Amazon for a week, maybe they realize they can live without it. But I think more politically inactive people can be convinced with "only for a week" than "boycott this corporation that you've been dependent on your whole life forever." Sometimes it's about getting people to take that first step.

Riiiight, because organizing people to turn away from corporations won't help in the slightest. They surely won't find alternatives to Walmart and Amazon in the weeklong boycotts. Nobody will start looking into farmers' markets due to not buying groceries at Walmart.

Every little bit helps, and the majority of the American public cannot be convinced to approach radical action. They have to get their feet wet. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

That's a great idea! I know that Build The Resistance has training courses, but I have not yet looked into them.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work!

Lol are you trying to say I’m being racist towards US citizens?

Nope. There's definitely too much anti-Latin American sentiment here, that's part of why we're in this mess. But I would say a good portion of people here aren't racist toward Mexicans. But, a large part of that same portion just doesn't have empathy for their situation because of a self-focused attitude.

Again, it feels like you're preemptively judging US citizens. We're the evil empire, there's no denying that. But, no doubt, some of us will be the victims when it's all said and done. Just as you are one of the victims of US aggression now, US aggression will eventually turn toward its own citizens. Now, this is me preemptively judging the situation, albeit with more real life experience of our citizenry, but I do think many here will put up a fight on their turf (mostly because of that self-focused attitude mentioned earlier).

That said, if the situation escalates into civil war, there will be plenty of innocents caught in the crossfire - and those are the potential refugees to which I'm referring. Nobody wants you to let MAGA jump ship after they unleashed the plague rats. God willing, that attitude will crumble as it makes DC crumble.

I don't think you're all the worst, I think that your best is rare and that most of you are not nearly as great as you think you are.

Well, you have the general US attitude nailed down at least.

But, I do think you're preemptively judging the situation. Most people who helped perpetrate this will go down with the ship. They still think everything is fine. You're kind of just displaying the attitude most US citizens have toward our southern neighbors - and look what kind of leader that got us.

At least Trump's win was enough of a wake up call to the world that it weakened Poilievre a bit. For now.

Hopefully, in that case, more enlistees than refugees.

So, you think we all are the worst of us?

Given the situation, I can't judge.

Riiiight, because intelligent, hardworking people won't want to bail too.

Hope you guys at least accept enlistees ;)

Ooh I forgot about Project+! The only way to play Brawl. It turns it into possibly the best Smash game to date.
