@2batuz i’m ignoring people who clearly didn’t read the thread LMFAO those are the only people getting pissy in my mentions rn. if they read the thread they wouldn’t be mad 🤷‍♂️ all i did was call out performative activism BS, and let’s just say, if the shoe fits..

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

muting this, i’m not arguing you people since you clearly cannot fucking read. if you’re that mad about my thread and can’t get over it, look into ways to actually protest around you. online moral grandstanding does nothing for anybody.

free palestine. ✌🏻

i think i’m too far left for the discourse on the tl lmao

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@divaxdiaries it’s very telling that you read the entire thread and still don’t understand. sad.

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@joosalface not back to corporations and businesses. i’m just not understanding what’s not clicking here, if i can be completely frank. boycotting is an act of performative activism and does not change a damn thing. even if you stop eating mcdonald’s, palestinians are still getting bombed.

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@joosalface and the reason isr*el exists is BECAUSE the U.S. government and military wanted a station in the middle east. they wanted a way to “keep them (middle easterners) in check” and they’re doing exactly that under the guise of isr*el. it comes back to the military and government +

@gaonglow I genuinely believe that performative activism does worse to the causes they claim to support , than the think. And I will die on that hill

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@nanasbannanas FULLY AGREEDDDD

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

i think i’m too far left for the discourse on the tl lmao

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@nanasbannanas exactly!!! there’s no real, tangible, LONG TERM damage done to companies by these weak attempts at boycotting. all it does is MAYBE reduce their sales by a fraction, but it never lasts, like you mentioned. it IS an excuse to sit on their ass and do nothing!!!

@xdinarysokka i’m standing on business 🫡

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@joosalface the primary enemy here. the biggest enemy is the U.S. military, the canadian military, etc. the ones ACTUALLY creating the weapons. just because these companies exist in certain places does not make them complicit in anything aside from lining their own pockets.

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@joosalface is your approach to the problem. i’ll reiterate – mcdonald’s, starbucks, coca cola? they’re not the ones making the weapons. they’re not involved in the process at any point. they are merely meeting demand where it is requested. not defending big corps here, but they’re not +

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@nanasbannanas because boycotts ARE performative activism!! they don’t DO anything, they don’t make ANY real difference whatsoever, yet people can use it to get on their moral high horse and claim anyone who isn’t participating is implicitly supporting the war!!!

[sokka @xdinarysokka]

@gaonglow people are always mad at the wrong people i swear, everything is owned by the same 5 conglomerates, thats the illusion of choice, it doesnt matter if u buy from mcdonald or a local burgershop, all the money goes to the 1%

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@xdinarysokka THIS ONE

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@xdinarysokka honest to god same

[luci⁶ semi IA @gaonglow]

@xdinarysokka RIGHT like the anger is so selective and most often affects people that are of lower income. a LOT of low income people gravitate towards mcdonald’s as an easy meal choice when they have no time to cook, is the blood suddenly on their hands? like. let’s be so serious
