Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.

I disagree. Even if just YOU boycott and no one else does. The boycott does something. Even if you don't believe in it, step aside and push the train forward while it passes you. Don't create friction.

Awesome. Do you still buy online from other billion dollar companies or have you been able to go all local? I’m having a hard time getting past the convenience and cheapness they are able to provide. I have cut back a huge amount though since Covid where I never wanted to leave home to purchase things I need for home.

The right killed dei solely using boycotts

Forgoing the convinience isn't easy, even gotta look at the purchase and decide if it'll be used frequently or just a use and throw

I think in this case is more a "not enough is the friend of comptent". But you do you ‍️

This just in folks, boycotting Amazon for a week is "no good". Don't do it!

Doing my boycott for the half a year already and at best are uszally small things like tea bags because that type is nowhere I have seen yet.

Just avoid everything GAFAM. They were already capitalist bitches, now they're fascist capitalist bitches.

I agree with the principal of personal boycotts, though not effective in doing anything to affect the companies that you are boycotting, are necessary. But OP is right. For instance I have been boycotting Chick-fil-A for the last 10 years because I don't agree with their homophobic attitude. But it has zero effect on their bottom line because no one else boycotts them or even cares. I think the kesson is that you should not expect any kind of real outcome from your personal boycott of a company. You should just be satisfied that you are not personally supporting that company.

Amazon boycott March 7th through forever. There's no need to give them an end date. Our action is completely toothless when we literally spell out for them exactly when we'll come crawling back start giving them money again.

Boycott March 7th-14th. Amazon makes record sales on March 15th. Great job. High fives all around. That will show them. /s

Amazon is just so convenient, it's hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.

It's a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.

You added another descriptive word. They fucking felt that comrade. They won't recover this time
