is that it accomplishes nothing except to make people think silly responses to real problems are effective enough to excuse them from actually doing something that might BE effective.
For instance, if you really want to do something to stop corporate parasitism, do some research on which businesses are most ethical and shop with them only. It accomplishes nothing to hurt waitresses and small business owners and it tends to alienate them from our cause.
Liberal energy can be channeled more effectively and pro-acively than this silly don't spend today-do it tomorrow stuff.
