    So not purchasing from a store for a day isn’t going to affect the store, but getting yourself kicked out of the store for not wearing shoes will?

    Your saying not making purchases for a day will have no effect, but your counter suggestion will have no greater impact on the store but require a greater buy-in from the people taking part.

    I’ll try to spell it out again: this is the lowest possible bar to get people to take part. If successful, it shows everyone how many people are willing to take at least some action, which makes it easier to organize more meaningful action in the future.

      Yes and yes.

      Your second paragraph is just your first paragraph of question rephrased as confident conclusions with absolutely no facts or information inbetween. It’s weird, man. Is this AI? That’s not how it works.

      It’s a miserably low bar that’s been done a hundred times over to zero effect. It feels like an idea born straight out of a boardroom meeting to lessen the effects of protests. Billionaires probably giggle and try to guess who floated this one to the masses.

        Ah, but “get yourself kicked out of stores”, something the only mildly annoys the workers and doesn’t affect the owners at all, THAT will have the billionaires shaking in their boots!

        This entire thread is you trying to lessen then effects of protests. If I’m misunderstanding you then try taking the boot out of your mouth before speaking.
