    Gotta start somewhere with people. The point is that anyone can do this, and it’s easy to do, but it isn’t really any more difficult to show up to a town hall. And while yes, you and I can (and probably do) take larger, more effective steps, longer boycotts, etc. We need numbers, and that, I think, is the real value of this.

      A million times zero is still zero. We gain nothing by entirely performative action. Start somewhere, but make it somewhere meaningful.

        Organize something better and shut tf up or just shut tf up. You’re just as bad as them with your piss poor attitude towards people that are at least trying to do something whether it complies with your own personal standards you fail to deliver on yourself, if you weren’t your own biggest failure you would be presenting your initiative piggybacking on this one instead of trying to downplay others.

          I suspect these types of actions are actually counter productive, because they take attention away from movements and causes that actually stand a chance of working, while having little to no effect on the business they’re targeting.

          There’s no way enough people took this seriously to move the needle on daily sales more than the regular sales fluctuations these stores would see.

          No thank you. I’m going to instead continue to rally against treating adults like coddled children and placating them in ways which dis-motivate them from actual collective action by convincing them that they’re already doing collective action. And I’m going to keep criticism bad ideas because good intention alone is not enough. I don’t give a shit about making people feel good or participating in the latest fun leftist trend, I care about meaningful impact.

          Feel free to block me if your find your feathers unable to be unruffled.

            Why would I block you, you’re your own biggest failure. That you are willing to put it on public display is an amusing commentary to me. Tagged and followed.

              And I have no interest in trolls looking to bait me with insults, so I’ll do us the favor and just block you from my side instead then.

                Calling you out on your critique of others while failing to living up to the very same standards you set for others isn’t trolling. You’re projecting onto others while you fail to do anything yourself while judging those who at least try something. #yobf
