Fascism has arrived in the US. Here's a video of a (liberal) lawyer just straight up saying the courts won't save you.
The system only speaks two languages now: money and violence. If you want a chance to avoid the second, now is the time to use the first. #MassBlackout is a #Boycott of the American corporations that support the dictatorship. By showing that people have the power to shut down the economy if elites don't listen, we can hit them where it actually hurts.
From now until December 2nd, do as many of these things as you can:
- Stop online or in-store shopping (except for small businesses)
- Stop work
- Stop streaming, cancel subscriptions, no digital purchases
This is one of the few times that boosting stuff on social media and doing nothing else actually *can* make a difference. Boost posts tagged with #WeAintBuyingIt, #MassBlackout, and #BlackOutTheSystem. Make sure everyone you know knows about it. Hold each other accountable to keep from spending. You may already not be spending because.... well,.. #Trump has already made everything too expensive. The thing is that elites can't actually tell the difference. Spreading word, making the protest seem as big and impactful as possible is all that's really needed to fracture elites and turn them against each other. Boost, write your own post, make these tags trend on every platform you can, then do nothing.
Don't buy things, don't work. Just stop. Refuse to participate in capitalism. This is the ultimate "fuck you, make me" because they absolutely can't make you. This is the ultimate reminder of where power actually comes from.
If you're outside the US, (continue to) boycott American products (if the tariffs haven't already taken care of that) until the regime falls. Cancel all American streaming services, and any other American tech you can. If you're stuck on American tech, spend some time to look for local alternatives.
It turns out the world is more interconnected than capitalists would like you to believe, and we all actually have the power to change things. It's time to prove it.
