I think this list of goals for the person arguably organizing this boycott are pretty interesting. It is full of stuff like this: "Implement AI-driven voting systems, secure, transparent, and fraud proof." or "No More Federal Income Taxes for American Citizens" thepeoplesunionusa.com/unionizing-t... - ThreadSky

the "Why Funding Is Necessary" section sounds like when I tried to convince my mom I needed a Dreamcast. It worked tho, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to assume...

75 grand on GoFundMe with no plan beyond "don't shop" and "make websites" ain't doing it for me.

I've got a couple texts from friends and fam about this since this morning. I'm "yes and"ing them into donating or volunteering too. Food kitchens are all over.

Their list is like 80% stuff I'm sympathetic to but not framed well, and 20% "oh, that's nonsense".

Ahaha, yeah. I'm reading this and thinking they got a list of reasonable ideas and their own bugbears, and have zero idea of how to execute

If you haven't checked out their socials, the Instagram leads to an account for the founder...and I'm out. Between this, the GFM, no acknowledgement of other actual grassroots organizing, little bits like this, I'm calling shenanigans. Or at least not being built for anything beyond vibes.

There's a goofy mix of them stumbling around "abolition of capital" repeated in 18 slightly different ways, good old fashioned American "good government" nonsense like term limits and direct democracy, and then the AI gibberish. Nah.

Getting big Andrew Yang vibes.

You want to advocate for the overthrow of American capitalism and replacement of it with cooperative ownership etc? Me too. But no way in hell are you getting that by boycotts and...whatever else they're saying.
