You sincerely think those were real attempts?

I’ve heard this before and wonder what part of the Bible it is specifically from. Do you happen to know? I don’t think my search queries have been the right questions

100% trust your gut. It’s not a good idea.

Even if everything he says is true he needs to learn to treat people better and not at the expense of your time and feelings. Leave him behind, work on yourself however feels right to you and you will very likely barely remember his name a decade from now. Don’t EVER settle for that sort of treatment.

Remember there are bots even on Lemmy to push the narrative that we have no power. Billionaires aren’t scared of a couple less dollars, but they are TERRIFIED of us figuring out we can organize. Let’s not fight each other let’s fight the oligarchy!

It’s a tiered strategy and works with the idea that a lot of people haven’t ever tried boycotts. Once they see they’re part of something the movement grows stronger. Empower people don’t comply in advance.

For me I am already permanently boycotting all of these you mentioned. For others it is not that easy and takes TIME and EFFORT. Support or don’t but why be against good change even if it’s little bits at a time? Do you not want to see people try or join? This is the beginning point not the end.

I am aware of how larger boycotts make bigger differences. Those larger boycotts started in smaller groups and spread because people got on board. How are you helping when you tell people it won’t work?

This is part of what the defeatists are missing. Real movements take time.

You being negative instead of constructive shows how defeated you are. Rise up with us and do your part when/where you can. No one is going to give people who have to get medication or buy formula today a hard time. It’s not about the small impact this might make today it’s about people coming together to make change long term. Hope this helps!
