  I get where you’re coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

  These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as “never again”.

    You can make a seven days long hunger strike and that is commendable.

    But a previously delimited week not buying commodities you don’t need from a particular company with literally thousands of alternatives, sounds just completely ridiculous.

    You are not boycotting food production, or sewage, or drinking water… You are suggesting that a seven days strike in buying the Vaseline you will need from the retailer that creates that same need is kind of a revolutionary action.

    ¡From the people that is dismantling your state!

    Your society (and I’m really sorry to tell you this crudely) is deeply sick, if you think this is somehow fierce.

      Don’t hurt your back patting it so hard!

        Whatever. I don’t think this suggested action is of any use, but quite the opposite, and in other circumstances I would not say anything about it. But what we are going through, in my opinion, is important enough to call it out. Sorry if it sounded condescending, but for once, I think it has to be said.
