[β] Zacryon@feddit.org 25 points 1 year ago (2 children) "That's not going to do anything" They said, sitting on their asses, doing nothing, while others fought for change. You can find this style of argument in virtually all discussions about protests and about whether they are okay or even effective. Idk & idgaf, but you can't deny, that this makes the whole issue a lot more visible than just doing nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago First, not going shopping for one day isn't "fighting for change", it's doing the bare minimum to feel like you're actually doing something. Second, boycotts work, absolutely, but this isn't a boycott. This won't affect the overall sales numbers of these stores, just move them to a different day. Finally, what are their demands exactly? permalink fedilink source parent [β] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago you can't deny, that this makes the whole issue a lot more visible than just doing nothing.

Making a fuss about nothing, and doing nothing with any lasting effect, is not a protest. permalink fedilink source parent
