For people who think boycotts /BDS doesn’t working —
My last job was at an ad agency and Burger King and Hershey’s were one of our clients. We’ve received several briefs on how to combat and address boycott sentiments because it was affecting their market shares.
And our other clients frequently check to make sure they’re not being boycotted
It’s working. It’s working. It’s working.
I’m so incredibly angry at the world. You all continue to sit there and debate Palestinian humanity like humanity of all things is something up for debate. Discuss whether we are worthy of mere life as we are killed globally in numbers unimaginable. All the while bombs continue to drop on tents burning people alive. Leaving literally nothing. Children return home to no trace of their mothers. Food spoils in your homes as people starve to death in ours. Populations get death marched away from their only home. And you sit idly by debating whether or not this is just.
A 22 yr old in my org got drunk tuesday night and kinda shit on the fact that I'm running a community cleanup for our chapter. Said something along the lines of "i didn't join up to pick trash." Which really bothers me and it took me a while to figure out why. The whole point of the community cleanup is that we're returning to the neighborhoods where we knocked doors for A4 to help clean up their streets and provide material improvement for free in an effort to build inroads with those neighbors.
Like... if your socialism doesn't include picking uo trash, I'm guessing it also doesn't include doing the dishes, babysitting, or anything else that is important but not prestigious. Idk man, fuck off with that shit. You'll pick up trash and you'll like it until you understand why picking up trash isn't anyone's job but your own. I hate that attitude. If helping and doing activism was always fun and visible and impressive, everyone you know would already be doing it.
it’s just not worth that much money. like in no world. I’ll be so for real I straight up do not think you should be buying these tickets if you respect yourself. like idk I’m not judging people exactly I guess but just seeing all the excited posting about places in the queue and how $300 is a steal and everybody just driving the exact hype machine around the mythos of it that allows bands or ticketmaster or whoever the fuck to get away with this is so utterly bleak and ghoulish I feel obligated to be like guys. you do remember that my chemical romance doesn’t have anything to offer you that you don’t already have within yourself right. like we’re all remembering to remember that right? I know I’m a hasbeen on mcr tumblr but for what it’s worth coming from me? jesus christ let’s not

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

are twinks who go to bear-related events the "straight boyfriend at pride" of the bear world? i don't go to enough irl bear events to know for sure but i am curious if that discourse exists at all in real life, cause it's really funny to me.
