The US government recently tried to pass a bill that would make it illegal to boycott. Consumers saying that we refuse to buy from companies that fund or support genocide DOES have power and impact. The BDS movement also isn't an overnight trend. It can last years or even decades. That's the commitment. So what do you mean we aren't doing much? Many stores have had to be closed, and lots of money has been lost for Starbucks and McDonald's, as just 2 examples.
I also already wrote about the dangerous slippery slope of censorship. It doesn't make a difference if you don't like tiktok (even though, just to clarify -tiktok has a plethora of content, which includes plenty of amazing educational content creators too) -it's also where A LOT of people get accessible, up-to-date information about world events -including what has been happening in Gaza. You know -the genocide the US and many fellow countries are vehemently denying. A genocide that is being funded by US tax dollars.
"Emotional thinking" is also a very interesting concept to me because where do you think this passion comes from Congressional Representatives? Who so desperately want to shut down an app more than they want to end gun violence, to push for rent control, free tuition, universal Healthcare...
This defeatist mentality -this apathetic mentality is killing people. Shame on you.

It’s…… I don’t have words about this-
Why,
Why is it violence to end an atrocity? Why is it violent to speak for peace? Why is it violent to end this genocide?
WHY?!
ATP it should be crystal clear that Palestine (Sudan, Congo, and much more countries) is trying to be free from this oppression. Trying to atp survive as more and more are DYING! This shouldn’t be a “oh who’s right” or “oh well to be devil’s advocate”
NO!
This. Is. Genocide we are talking about- WHY ARE WE TRYING TO DOWNPLAY OR SILENCE THAT??! Why?! I’m sick and I am tired of these businesses siding with the oppressor and aren’t seeing the glaring issue (or I’m realizing they don’t give a damn). I’m tired of the fact USA is siding with them to the point of denying for the ceasefire the SECOND TIME MIND YOU!! So again we here the grey area? There isn’t. This is a genocide plain and simple.
More people need to start talking about this. More people need to boycott. More people just need to do whatever they can to help Palestine (and Sudan and Congo). Donate, calling rep, anything. This can’t go on as 2024 rolls the corner. They need our help. And we need to help them.
If I sound angry in this post, I’m not sorry. This is upsetting and you should find this upsetting too.
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

reminder: the boycotts are working. so keep up the ongoing boycott movement because we have the power to reduce the unscrupulous companies to nothing. also, be sure to unfollow anybody and anything that still supports them, and educate the people around you on the importance of doing the same.

PROOF OF BOYCOTTS WORKING!
Another addition to my previous post about boycotts working
Today my local McDonald's were advertising FOUR burgers and fries for the price of only 5.30 $ dollars
A meal used to be about 8-10$
