Boycott action, and a smidge of arson.
Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.
marv99@feddit.org 1 month agoIn 1995 we boycotted Shell for environmental reasons and it worked: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Spar
Towing of the platform to its final position began on 11 June. By this time, the call for a boycott of Shell products was being heeded across much of continental northern Europe, damaging Shell’s profitability as well as brand image. […]
On 20 June, Shell had decided that their position was no longer tenable, and withdrew their plan to sink the Brent Spar […]
So it needed few days more than week of concerted action to bring big business into trouble.

That boycott had a demand attached, to prevent the sinking of the Brent Spar buoy. Effectively “unlimited” boycott until Shell gave into the demand.
This and the last no shop Friday thing seem mostly pointless. I mean fuck Amazon for sure but shouldn’t there be some goal? “Boycott Amazon until X, Y, and Z” not “No buy from Amazon for a week but then we’ll be back so no worries!”

The implicit demand is to stop supporting fascists.

Implicit demands are for mob bosses and boat owners. If you’re threatening a corporation you need to be clear and direct.
Less
More
Or whatever. Clear, concrete, demands.

With the time skip, that’s going to be a long boycott.
