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

Just delete your account already.

I moved on from Amazon to local after the 28th.

[noneofurbusiness@fedia.io]

Just pirate it.

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!"

[kraiden@kbin.earth]

The thing is, I really don't want them to cancel it. I've been signing up for it and then cancelling my subscription when it's finished, and then pirating it anyway. I just want them to see it as valuable, so they don't try to squeeze 14 books worth of content into one shitty finale because it's not making them money.

Arrr matey. Its the breakdown of society 'if the people running society aren't following the rules, why should I?' So yes, pirate it. Fuck 'em.

[pr06lefs@lemmy.ml]

that is the wrong mindset for a boycott. no amazon period from now until forever. if shows go under so much the better.

[geedubhayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Fuck that show. Fuck the Halo show. Fuck each and every company that just buys a name and thus a built-in fan base and mutilates the original IP beyond recognition.

[tomalley8342@lemmy.world]

Yes, I can see how you might not want to boycott a company if you're worried about them not making money because of it.

[warlockofthewoods@lemy.lol]

Lol no, cuz then my option is Walmart and I ain't doing that.

[djfok43@lemmy.world]

Wtf do people even need from there that they can't get from temu or elsewhere..

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Target? I've moved a bunch of my shopping there, and they have pretty fast shipping as well.

[warlockofthewoods@lemy.lol]

I used to LOVE target but then they got rid of Mossimo, denim and flowers and anything else good they ever had and started carrying clothes for fucking Mennonites. Seriously, their clothes went from awesome to shit.

[dwemthy@lemmy.world]

Bad news about Target: they've cancelled their DEI initiatives to cater to the administration

[cilethesane@lemmy.ca]

Okay, so start boycotting Amazon now and don't stop.

[Guest]

I believe they're already under a 40 day boycott

[lootboblin@lemmy.world]

Those fuckers stole my digital comics library. I already stopped using Twitch and I havent bought their shitty and useless Chinese made electronics in years. Fuck Nazis, fuck Amazon, fuck Google, Fuck Trump, Fuck Musk, Fuck America! (the last part I take away when you vote the Orange Fuck Face away!)

[kraiden@kbin.earth]

Oh please, that's not even close to what I said. I just don't want them to cancel a show I like and you're all acting like I'm swinging from Bezos' dick. You're all rabid.

[mrodri89@lemmy.zip]

Id rather just forever boycott anything bezos related.

[null@slrpnk.net]

How do you get people who can't see themselves boycotting indefinitely? You get them used to it by getting them on board to boycott for a fixed length of time. Ideally, as they warm up to the idea, you get them to boycott for longer.
