18·13 days agoEven 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.
What a great example!
I urge you to see beyond that. Of course there are people (influencers likely?) you’re thinking about that jump on band wagons, but every movement does and they play an important part even if you don’t like them. Free advertising!
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!
9·19 days agoIt’s a nice thought though, thanks 🥰
1·21 days agoBillionaires aren’t scared of losing a few dollars but they are terrified of people organizing. Look how fast they got rid of tiktok!
There is a list of known kellogs products if you go down the menu 👍
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.
What point you are missing is that these corporations are still scared we will organize. Look at how tiktok affected people’s views on Gaza. You saw how fast they took control of an app as opposed to the countless problems they could actually be fixing. Getting people used to a different way of life takes time and small acts/habits.
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 the way.
This is part of what the defeatists are missing. Real movements take time.
That is absolutely next. Watch who the news stirs up controversy against and they will be the next target. Venezuelans are a good example of this because there were several news campaigns to tarnish them last year that are fueling the hate now.
