[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) What is the protest though? What are the demands and how will we know when they are achieved? The best answer I can get in these threads is to "send a message" of "general discontent", but protests just don't really work that way. Decide what you want and figure out what to boycott in order to harm the people that are able to grant it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brianary@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Maybe make a trivial amount of effort to find those details yourself. It's a response to the active class warfare happening, including the anti-DEI efforts. Targeted boycotts aren't enough anymore. Too many major corporations, often without adequate competition, are working against us. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Sorry, the article you linked doesn't list any demands. The closest it comes is this: an act of “economic resistance” to protest what the group’s founder sees as the malign influence of billionaires, big corporations and both major political parties on the lives of working Americans. This demonstrates my point really. There's a general sense of dissatisfaction with billionaires and with capitalism, but there are no demands. If you're not demanding anything, how will you know when you have achieved your goal? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brianary@startrek.website 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) This is really part of it, but it's not included explicitly in that article like it should be. Other activists, faith-based leaders and consumers already are organizing boycotts to protest companies that have scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and to oppose President Donald Trump’s moves to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 child) Sorry, what I'm trying to explain is that protests require specific demands. If a protest like this got any traction, companies could just say "ok we're listening, we will think about reinstating some DEI things". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] brianary@startrek.website 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I see what you're saying, but it sounds a little like "no true Scotsman", too. I guess Occupy probably did this better, but I'm not sure it helped enough. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago Actually this is how occupy was undone. They couldn't agree on demands and in the end everyone just got frustrated with each other and the whole thing fizzled out. There was conjecture at the time that CIA plants frustrated this process. permalink fedilink source parent
