This isn't an economic protest. This is slacktivism. One day or a handful of days will have exactly zero effect. Every one of you advocating for it and defending it is actively hurting the effort. You are the fascists best friend.

I used to do production coordination. This isn't an issue. If Tony expects to sells two peaches a day, but this week he sold three yesterday and one today it's all the same. The amounts average out over time. You will have to hit them for much, much longer than a day to have ANY effect.

One day or a handful of days is meaningless slacktivism.

Yep. Learned to farm. We should have an overabundance of food this year. I've been teaching my local communities to be self reliant and collectively bargain. We're close to community policing, community gardens and expanding firearms training.

Did you know Grainger and other companies are willing to make a deal with large groups, like HOAs or Recreational groups, and offer discounts on services and tools?

Power to the people. This is what real change looks like.

And what are they doing for that? Because there's no plan for that right now.

This is a much better plan. Much better. We should be organizing longer pauses with different targets. We should have a different one every week or longer.

One day will do nothing. This is slacktivism. Every one of them is a useful fool for the fascists.

Stopping for one day isn't a protest.

You're not getting "good". A one day pause is not an effective strategy in any sense. It's slacktivism. It'll placate people who would have otherwise taken actual action.

This is it. If we want to have any effect it needs to be much longer than a day. One month would make a statement. You could even cave out food. You could also have people cancel their endless list of subscriptions or just scale back their lifestyle for a greater effect than a one day pause.

It won't work because people are just going to stock up the day before and binge the day after. No one is going to feel anything.

It's like they're trying to force only two options- Either Democrats are beyond reproach and you have to vote for them, or you hate democracy. I'm not allowed to be critical of Dems and have voted for them. I'm not allowed to call them complicit or call out their lack of resistance.

I'm going to be very critical of Dems and I'm going to keep a close eye out for any feasible alternatives. I'm hard out if they put AOC up.
