What does a few days do when most are just going to go back to buying from this companies. That is just a reset not a movement or message if people aren’t willing to change the deeper problems of consumption.
Consumption has been the driver of the economy but at what cost? Americans insatiable desire to buy crap, fill their house with crap, jam closets with more crap than they could ever wear (and don’t wear most of it), and waste 40%of the food grown in this country, All while creating unmanageable waste in its path, geopolitical upheaval to get raw material resources, and taking on record credit card debt. We are not better off mentally or
in national security because of it all.
A few days of boycotting something is placebo and does nothing unless you change the consumption pipeline everyday that feeds this sick system. Make do with what you have, learn repair skills, mend clothes, share what you don’t need with others, make things, reduce food waste, buy local whenever possible, STOP unsustainable ONLINE SHOPPING, drive that existing car for decades and just keep it maintained, and value experiences over “things”.
Shopping does not make up for what is missing in your life. Get your dopamine elsewhere through walks, volunteering,
socializing, helping a friend with a project, getting off your butt and finding what makes you happy because “stuff” feeds what ills you.
