In case you weren't aware, the goal of a boycott is to significantly impact the bottom line of a business to pressure it into stopping some specific harmful behavior.

This means that a disorganized "don't support this" with no clear timeframe, no clear demand being put forward, and no organized effort to reach the actual customers of the business... is pretty unlikely to achieve anything.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"Boycotts never achieve anything" factoid is actually a statistical error. Historically, boycotts have been an enormously successful pressure mechanism for collective action. Boycotts georg, a social media user who launches a million poorly strategized boycotts every day with no thought given to target selection or actionable demands, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

It says a lot about the damage done by clueless social media users that BDS keeps being brought up in the notes.

BDS has an actual strategy. BDS' guide to their boycotting strategy has this infographic illustrating the exact point this post is about:

Random social media users do not represent BDS' stance on effective boycotting strategy.

racist white canadians and europeans want you to believe the slave trade worked like this

it did not. it is public knowledge the slave trade worked like this

and in fighting antiblackness within canada and europe it is so so so important to acknowledge these places's participation in and benefit from the transantlantic slave trade. Slavery is not just the US's dirty past, it is a triangular industry lasting centuries that white people in the united states, canada, and europe benefitted from and continue to benefit from to this day. Slavery was good for white canadians and white europeans. They liked it. they encouraged it. they had slaves, they profited from the slave trade, and they used products grown from US slave labour in every day life. The slavery of Black people would not have been possible on the sheer scale at which it happened if it were not for active, consistent participation from europe and canada.

now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense

[jeaninelatragedia]

holy shit.

[frustratedasatruar]

You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.

Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.

So exhausting how the mainstream American news media will be like “Resurfaced tweet shows this progressive Democratic candidate tweeted ‘shut up cunt’ in response to a Nazi when they were 17 years old. This troubling misogyny and censorship shows the hypocrisy and inconsistency of the Democratic Party.” while the Republican candidate has called for Iran to be nuked off the face of the planet, groped multiple woman, been photographed snorting coke off a 19 year old exotic dancer’s breast while his pregnant wife was in the hospital and plainly stated he is racist. Like, why are we doing this? (I know why.) Why aren’t we talking about who is funding these people and what their positions on the issues are?

This reminds me of an interview I saw with someone (it may have been Abdul El-Sayed) where the Fox News correspondent was like, "How many kids are you ok with immigrants abusing?" And the interviewee responded by asking why they were ok with having a pedophile in office and started asking questions about the Epstein files. The Fox News correspondent tried to immediately shut down the interview.

[byjove]

I truly hate how they always go to “But immigrants are a danger to our women and children!” when that is not the case statistically and they obviously do not care about the safety of women and children because they keep putting pedophiles and rapists in office. Why are you pearl clutching and moral grandstanding about hypothetical crimes committed by immigrants and doing fuck all to deal with our own homegrown domestic abusers, child predators and sex pests? Oh right, the racism.

They use the same tactics towards trans people. It’s all they’ve got. It’s not based in reality but it is based in moral outrage, the same moral outrage they do not feel when pastors, businessman and politicians are in the news for grooming and raping teenagers.

This is blatant misinformation. AI sucks. Bezos sucks. Believing things like this without fact checking is unacceptable.

Check your sources while you still can. AI is ruining the internet. Don't contribute to that.

It’s crazy how Europeans spent centuries colonizing, brutalizing and destabilizing most of the world and when the people from the places they worked (and are often still benefiting from) to destroy and exploit flee to Europe, they’re baffled and enraged. Why would your NHS nurse be Nigerian? Hmmm. I wonder who the Queen of Nigeria was up until 1963. Oh, you’re mad your new neighbors are Pakistani? I wonder who the head of the Commonwealth was there until 1972. This is truly baffling.
