we have to start peeling this onion , and krasnov's billionaire partners are a good place to start.

I would never advocate violence or vandalism, but the obliteration of a data center or crypto mine would not bother me much. They are as much symbols of oppression as the ice prisons.

Not many can afford to buy crap this year anyway

Spending boycotts should have started months ago. The fascist withheld monies from the people, the people can withhold monies from them. Let the MAGA voters float the economy. Spending boycotts are a safe anonymous way to protest.

That I am less interested in this financially unsound ritual, along with the killing of majestic trees for this abomination. It has nothing to do with the excuse used for this ritual season... only the bottom line.

Fuck the corporations and their ilk, I'm only buying groceries this whole season because I really don't need any of that crap.

I'm a repeat xmas boycotter, definitely behind this on a grand scale. It's one of the ways we can show them some pain.

It would be better to get people to vote.

Boycott Amazon, eBay, other billion dollar corps and not just briefly to merely shift your purchase dates.

But let's get real - boycotting your job to get fired is irresponsible. Cancel all your media and entertainment - good luck. Only pay in cash ...

The only Isaiah Rucker Jr I'm aware of, and the only one I can find online, is a Black motivational speaker whose website says he does "work with global giants like Home Depot, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, and Amazon"

Oops.

I smell an opportunist and not a serious effort for change. Prediction: failure. Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but silly stuff "stop all spending and refuse to go to work" for a week seems more embarrassing than empowering.

Good luck

So I'm already in.

Lots of us are trying to find some moments and places of joy in this dystopian hellscape. I'm not a Black Friday person... but I know peopl who are, and for some of them, it's actually something they look forward to. I mean, I don't really get it. I can't stand crowds and I detest combing through through crap for a deal. But some people love it.

If the weather is nice, go out for a drive or even a fall walk outdoors. It it's not nice, watch a movie or stay home and read a book. Mostly I just hang out with my friends on DU.
