      It’s supposed to be baby steps towards concrete action.

      Kind of like if a smoker goes a whole day without smoking. Yea in the long run it’s not gonna make a difference, but it’s a start towards breaking the addiction.

      HEY YOU’RE RIGHT! The people organizing and participating in this believe that this one day of action will solve every abstract problem that exists! I also have simplistic understanding of protest and goals! I also prefer to be snarky at anyone attempting to voice dissent towards the insanity happening in our country!

      I’m really sorry to go over the top here, but seriously, there’s no fucking handbook for what we’re going through right now. There’s no questgiver telling us concrete steps to take down objectively evil people. There’s just people trying to figure out how to connect with each other and how to collectively voice dissent. Maybe we should give more credit to people doing imperfect things than to those doing nothing other than pointing out how imperfectly those things are.

        The snarky attitude is totally uncalled for, and you’re arguing a point nobody has made.

        Nobody has said this will solve everything, but this isn’t a new idea, and I’ve yet to see any evidence it solves anything at all.

        Even if we did get a statistically significant number of people to take part, they’ll just buy shit the next few days after instead.

        If you want to get people on board, you need to provide some evidence it will actually do something at all
