    I think the difference is that I don’t see any value in this. Skip a day of purchasing will have zero effect on anything. People don’t spend money on Christmas Day and guess what, zero impact on corporations. Cause they plan for this. And the day after Christmas is a madhouse.

    I’m not going to skip pizza day with my family for something that will have zero impact. It has nothing to do with planning or willpower and everything to do with the nature of the plan.

      So corporations have planned for this and have few staff on today? They have extra staff scheduled for tomorrow? That would be great! It means they are taking notice and taking precautions.

      If you think something else would be more effective then start planning it. If you want to plan a rotating boycott go for it, I will encourage people to participate.

      If you’re literally not doing anything then sit the fuck down. No one cares about your self justification for not being mildly inconvenienced, and there is no world in which you encouraging people not to participate helps in any way.

        Maybe you should relax and recognize who the ops are here and put that aggressive negative energy in the right place.

        I’m giving my reasoning for why I think this is dumb and what I would consider a more worthwhile protest. I am not encouraging people to not participate, but I can guarantee there are plenty of people that feel the same way. If you don’t want to hear it, you are more than welcome to quit interacting with me.

          If you don’t see how:

          “Yeah, take all the money you would spend today, and spend it tomorrow. Power to the ….”

          Actively discourages people from taking part I don’t know what to tell you.

          what I would consider a more worthwhile protest

          You know what’s a more worthwhile protest than nothing? Anything. And here you are doing less than nothing, you’re actively arguing against doing something.
