Sounds good in theory. Won't work. Too many people don't care. Just not a viable strategy in 2025.
Phew, I'm glad someone said something because I was about to actually listen to him and redirect my money into businesses that aren't empowering the worst fukking people.

Im glad I can continue to do nothing and somehow the problem will be solved. Thank you for your contribution breh :krs:

Boycott Twitter as Roland is saying boycott all of these companies, yet still posting on the platform and putting money in his pocket.

I agree. I let my Twitter go after Elon purchased it. I only see Twitter when people post it on here.

I always wanted a Tesla. I even rented one to see if I would like it. I started to see Elon's true racist behavior and nixed buying a Tesla.

We need a concentrated boycott. We not gonna boycott everything let's be real. We're not even gonna be able to keep track of everything we need to boycott.

However, there's 2 very easy companies we can boycott that will show mothafukkas what's up.

Tesla
Twitter (refuse to call X)

These are easy because we have alternatives and to be honest, neither is best in class at what they do.

It's simple, boycott this bytchass boer... once people see what we can do to his company, rather fukking easily I might add, all these other corporate lemmings will see the same shyt.

It's not hard at all. Uninstall the app, stop buying his shyt. There's LITERALLY DoZeNS of other fukking options.

We would be living like the Amish if we boycotted everything that should be on the boycott list. People wave attention too much to really stick to a real true boycott

You’d have to convince the community that morals / self love / code & ethics are more important than the “bag”

I am not buying an EV until the technology improves and the battery lasts longer …

I deleted Twitter years ago ….

the problem with boycotts and other modern forms of protest is that theyre ineffective

you need to stop buying certain brands PERMANENTLY

but its also basically impossible. theres so many brands owned by so many corporations that you'd spend all day researching them!

i dont think a boycott is gonna do shyt

somebodys gotta go blow up a building. the only question is who

sure as hell aint gonna be me! im a p*ssy and im comfortable. i wouldnt last a week without nabisco products!

i dont know, man. if you know a good charity ill throw some dollars at it. i wish i could help. god bless

Agreed.

But that gets back to what do we actually want, and what are we willing to do....

And Roland n'nem, don't have to have that very basic discussion.

They're good with the status quo and the status quo rate of change.

I definitely agree with the boycott twitter sentiment. Keep me updated when these internet personality organize a large move to blue sky. We can start there. That's also a far more realistic and easier hanging fruit, for anyone who doesn't rely on twitter engagement for money that is.:unimpressed:
