Thank you for your negativity. It always helpful to hear BP tell other BP to stop trying and to shut up. I hear you.How am I advocating for not wanting to try when I'm literally talking about organizations that exist right now that need members and have been putting in work.
Look, I understand how people feel and I'm not trying to say "it's pointless" I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying it's pie in the sky to try and hoard economic power without funneling that power through the existing infrastructure that has been proven to work to help people. Don't lump me in with people who don't want to try. I'm actively sharing my resources with these organizations. Creating more organizations and movements literally harms unity by diluting the power. These groups do and should talk to one another and share information and power. What they need is young people bringing more energy into those movements.
Spending money on black businesses who will seek tax cuts from Republicans anyway isn't the move. The economy is in control of bosses when it needs to be in control of workers. That happens when people unionize, provide mutual aid, and have safety nets for those of us who will engage in direct action by shooting back or blowing up concentration camps, server farms, or counterprotesting nazis that are emboldened to parade through the streets to intimidate whatever black people live in the neighborhood.
This can be a useful hashtag to get people activated, but they need to take that energy to organizations who are currently putting in work.
