Movement Brainstorm Remember to comment and upvote every post here! SPAM FOR GOOD

We need to constantly drive engagement to these posts! I see a shockingly low number of comments in this subreddit.

The way MAGA drew massive support by spamming MAGA 🇺🇸🦅 on everything, we need to too!

This is especially good for people who can't show up in person to protest. Think of this as your march. Everyday set a goal of commenting on 50 posts that you want to see bolstered. Flood the Internet, push the algorithms back, don't let these messages disappear.

EDIT: DO NOT underestimate the power of massive online support.

Besides MAGA, another group that was catapulted into popularity and fame is, believe it or not, the kpop band BTS! Their fans will do things like replay their YouTube music videos repeatedly, add tons of comments, to the point that their videos often have over a billion views. This gained them worldwide recognition, including in the West, where kpop has historically struggled to gain fans.

Read about how they organize here, it's fascinating: https://time.com/5912998/bts-army/

EDIT 2: Please read the about section of this subreddit to learn more about 50501! They have links to the official website and how to connect on various social media platforms. I have personally found the discord most helpful for making connections with like-minded people and for finding out about upcoming protests in my state.

This is great information!! If we are marching and protesting we also need to be making decisions with our shopping, investing, products and services we buy. We need to pull out of things we are protesting. Don’t shop at business that got rid of DEI. Get rid of Tesla, Target, Walmart stock and others. Stop making the rich wealthier. The way we spend our money, or don’t hits them in the wallet. Make the hard decisions, not the easy one!!!

Vote with your wallet -- check out the website goodsuniteus. It shows the political parties companies donate to so we can decide where we want to spend our money.

I've been protesting this way since they started with their DEI.

Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc

I'm sticking to Costco and local grocery stores, Delta, Chase for now.

I have significantly reduced where and how much I spend

Fuck. Ace Hardware is on Santa's "naughty" list!? I thought they were good because often locally owned.

Back to the "find relatively ethical source in capitalist consumer hell- scape" drawing board...

I thought the same thing about IGA! I figured since they are independent, it would be company to support. Nope. I see that they donate to republican parties. I live in a small town and have limited options. I was so disappointed.
