People are supporting economic boycotts to show discontent with businesses capitulating to Trump’s agenda
It’s the busiest shopping season of the year – and a time when many are trying to figure out where to ethically spend their money.
Over the first year of Trump’s second term, companies and institutions have fallen in line with the administration’s anti-DEI and anti-immigration policies. As a result, people are supporting economic boycotts to show their discontent with the businesses capitulating to the president.
Over the Black Friday weekend, the groups behind the No Kings protests – the largest days of mass protest in recent memory – put their weight behind a campaign called We Ain’t Buying It, calling on people to not shop at Target, Home Depot and Amazon during the marquee week of holiday deals.
Some well-known Amazon subsidiaries listed on Wikipedia:
- Whole Foods Market
- Audible
- Ring
Don’t forget Twitch.tv, which makes me sad.
I feel it, GGG runs promotions for POE for buying streamer subscriptions for exclusive mtx that I’ve wanted but haven’t done so because Amazon.
And Blink.
I would loooove to see a comprehensive list of those businesses.
Yes, the website only lists Target, Home Depot and Amazon.
It might be a good idea to limit it to just a few of the biggest ones at first. It makes it less daunting and easier to remember, encouraging participation. And if any of these three companies detect a noticeable drop in sales, it will make the news.
This site looks like it was designed by a marketing company. Who the hell wants to use a ticker to see brands?
I feel like this could just be a page on github
But github is microsoft. So boycot the very site it is on? That doesn’t make sense.
It could be on any hosted git. Forgejo or whatever. I just meant an open repository, something public
Github freaks out normies though.
It needs to be flashy and garish and gaudy like all the other marketing material they’re exposed to every day, so it feels expected and “trustworthy.”
That “ticker” is like the worst possible way to present that information though. What in the Macromedia Shockwave and Geocities is going on there lol.
Flash returns! Quick! Break out the actionscript books!
Don’t forget silverlight, flash but .net
There seems to be a watchlist ticker on their site:
There’s also a green “buycott” list which is confusing.
OOTL: what did Aldi do for deserving a boycott?
Thanks for pointing that out, it does look like it’s a list. An actual list would be good too.
What did Target do other than the DEI flip flop flip?
Sadly, i think that’s their sin. The DEI capitulation. They used to be a democratic option to Walmart.
Hey, did you know your account is set to appear as a bot? You can change this in your account settings.
Edit: this matters because some users filter bot comments and posts
I heard Wal-Mart donated a million to a trans cause recently. Strategies, they have. Guess they will kill more competition and then go back to solely pandering to toothless patriots.
If they posted the list, because I seen the list. My family would strave because all the grocery options we have 100% support Trump.
Here’s a list of some corporations that donated money to tear down the Whitehouse and build his Donald J Trump pedophile ballroom.
It includes:
- Amazon
- Microsoft
- Meta
- Comcast
Hopefully nobody bought anything off Amazon this year.
Absolutely fuck no!
Fuck. 60% success rate. Gotta get better.
Uline
Fuck Uline. All my homies hate Uline.
For starters:
Chil-Fil-A
Hobby Lobby
Lol, going on my whole lifetime boycotting them both.
Chik-fil-a isn’t good anyway.
Hear hear. Overrated homophobes.
Yeah, that’s an easy one.
I don’t trust their data.
I don’t trust their data either. They don’t list any sources. Who knows where they get their data from or it it’s completely randomized.
There is an app called GoodsUniteUs that I refer to often. It shows businesses and senior officials political spending.
I don’t trust their data.
I really think the anti-Amazon sentiment is regarding their stance to be anti-union, more than their politics. They’re a Seattle-based corporation, and Seattle is very blue, but i think they should allow workers right to unionize.
Best we can do is let you pee in bottles at work and perform dystopian surveillance on drivers.
Amazon donated directly to destroy the Whitehouse and build Trump’s pedo ballroom.
That number includes the company pac, the employees, and the CEO people.
The employees are upwards of 90% donated to Democrats, and they donate more than the pac does, which skews the total way blue. I have no idea why the employee donations are attributed to the company in these things. Especially in such a large company, they absolutely do not represent Amazon when donating
Oh yeah, if I know you’re a Trumpy business, you won’t see my money. Plenty of competition for anything I need, I don’t have to support Traitors/Racists/Pedophiles.
There are plenty of business that are on my permanent ban list - Chil-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, etc.
Feel free to add to the list.
Why avoid them when you can steal stuff at the Home Depot self checkout so easily? Do your part. Buy $10 worth of items and steal $50 worth. That’s more effective than avoiding them.
The authorities have you on camera and are waiting for you to do this more times so that they can charge you with something more than petty theft.
if you tell the cops you’re an active shooter they’ll be too afraid to come and arrest you
You really have some paranoia if you think that’s how the world works. Live a little. Next time buy organic vegetables at self checkout but weight them as non organic. You’ll feel a rush. It’s called the “I’m a cashier” tax.
Working class have to fight back against the inflated prices somehow.
I served on a grand jury, and this is how a number of cases ended up in front of me. At least in my corner of the world, it is how it works.
Well, shame on you if you voted to indict petty crime done to a corporation. You take Grandma’s house away for not paying her medical bills too?
I didn’t say whether I indicted or not. I’m saying that just because you think you’re getting away with it, it doesn’t mean you actually are.
Weird how you didn’t answer if you did vote to indict. So, that gives me the answer. Even in your (likely made up) story you’ve made yourself an asshole.
I was trying to do you a solid, but okay. Keep on doing what you do, I guess.
