      That’s correct, the difference is being aware that you are promoting inaction by framing a boycott as resistance against fascism. I am advocating for plotting an effective course of action rather than disorganized symbolic actions that make people feel good about themselves. You are advocating for following the boilerplate protest strategy that has been used to sabotage antiwar movements for decades.

        Actually only you brought up boycotting, it’s apparent you’re getting your arguments mixed up.

        You cannot make the argument here that boycotting is effective while arguing with a different user on another thread that boycotting isn’t effective. Your hypocrisy is blinding.

        So according to your thought process advocating an effective course of action means angry comments online about how those doing something isn’t enough something - I don’t see how yelling online about how people aren’t doing enough while giving no solutions will make any positive impact here. Your hypocrisy is the only point you’ve actually made.

        Since I advocate for joyful militancy and just finished a 16 hour shift helping those in need, I’m going to be done with you now, the 🧌stench is unbearable.

          Yep that’s true, I’m getting these delightful batches of mentions about how liberal nonviolent strategies are going to stick it to the fascists, which make indistinguishable pleas for me to acknowledge the effectiveness of political irrelevance. Only boycotting is a step above stripping down in front of the Nazis and making a fool of yourself. If you don’t see how these events are part of the same ideological bent you should probably check on what the people involved with them are saying. What is needed are strikes, at bare minimum. If you are wondering “well how am I supposed to strike?” you’ve got a question that will build a whole roadmap ahead of you.
