In 2025, we’re seeing the return of #NoBuy movement among #GenZ on #TikTok. Many are limiting shopping for climate concerns, inflation, etc. This raises an interesting paradox: is refusing to buy subversive, or just another form of feel-good consumption?
Consumers worldwide are boycotting American brands to protest U.S. politics. From Germany to Canada, the #BoycottUSGoods campaign is trending. Tesla shares even plunged 15% in a single day. But is #boycotting enough, or just #activism for the #algorithm ?
A false #TikTok claim that @CocaCola reported Latino workers to ICE led to the #LatinoFreeze boycott and real losses. Coke confirms sales dropped after the backlash. Is the problem the misinformation or the truth people are ready to believe?
@hullfair@PeabodyLDN That you for sharing the article. Yes, frustrating, in the same year I moved in (May 2023) the charge increased by 50% from £4,000 to £6,000. In 2024, it is ��8,000.
@joybrenda It’s not affordable to pay 8,000 pounds in charges annually. Next year’s charges will exceed the rent itself. Thank you for sharing the article.
@BBKBAJM Same goes for Brits and Europeans. They don’t bother to check where the information they read comes from. Only a tiny fraction (less than 5%) actually read online newspapers like the Guardian or BBC.
@MiguelPinedoPhD It happens. The author ignored the feedback, and I rejected the paper after three rounds. However, I asked the editor to involve a third reviewer as I recognise the impact could have my decision on the author.
@strikegermany@rosaluxglobal The vice president of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation of Germany supports the displacement of Palestinians into Egypt. What's so wrong with that country? What is next? A revolutionary socialist woman killed by social democrats? Genocide of an entire Jewish population?
