How can citizens organize against the oligarchy? Should we dedicate a month to Avoid Amazon August or Minimize Meta May? There’s got to be some effective actions besides going full Luigi.
The problem for those things is actually getting people to do it. Like so many people hate bezos and suck, but then use meta products and buy everything off amazon anyway. Not to mention those are massive targets, you will need very widespread participation, and even that might not matter on amazons case.
Dry January and No Shave November got traction. How?
Good question, not sure exactly how those started. Also, I’m not sure of their real impacts.
I guess we all start somewhere, so you could try to mobilize a community. Also if you could make a meme or something go viral about it maybe?
Because those are about not doing something. There is no popular “do something” month.
It would not even move the dial. They are afraid of regulation only.
Well, there is a big difference between sitting on your couch “minimizing” your use of thing and running out and killing the problem.
If you think Amazon and meta are part of the problem, then stop entirely. Honestly, if you have a Meta, or Xitter account still…. Delete them today.
How much crime are you willing to commit? Misdemeanors? Felonies? Treason?
In addition, be prepared for them to criminalize any actions that actually move the needle. If you aren’t already a criminal, they will make you one.
