    The organization that organized the economic blackout has longer-term boycotts planned in the coming weeks. This is just the opening salvo. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

      Don’t let nothing be the enemy of good either. That’s all i need saying.

      You need everyone in line for longer ones. Single day ones only serve to make the companies more prepared for longer ones.

        Let them prepare! Effective organized protest and resistance isn’t something that happens overnight. It can sometimes take months or even years of concerted effort.

      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.

        You say placate, I say practice. People who have never protested a day in their lives aren’t going to start out with a multi-month blackout. They need to get used to protesting by starting small.

          That is literally not how it works with people. They will feel like they did their job and move on. They will do this instead of actually helping. There isn’t any escalation. There’s a week (not long enough) hit on specific companies and other “days”.
