our most vulnerable are at risk of physical violence right now. our government is completely captured by corporations. our best hope is to hurt the companies that profit from our pain
Okay gotcha. My only hangup is this weights the second-order (and unfortunately somewhat hypothetical) effects over the first-order (and unfortunately guaranteed) ones.
Status quo is going from untenable to “fuckin ???” though, so I’m with you.
not as hypothetical as you’re thinking. much more already present, just not hopping waves into the mainstream. it’s just that who’s getting killed and jailed doesn’t have an international voice, so people like me gotta say how much danger there is in america right now, especially for queers, people with accents, and people with darker skin tones.
the thing to understand tho is that the cops and military are both simultaneously of us and against us. the people carrying out this genocide largely think that the people saying there’s a genocide are exaggerating. i guess what i would say, if you were Jewish in Germany in 1935, would you want international governments placing trade embargoes on Germany, or would you rather people abroad still buy the products your overlords made.
the other way to think of it. we’re boycotting a lot of companies right now for harming us. join us in the boycotts. just like we joined Ukraine in boycotting russian goods starting in 2013. we understand not everyone will be able to afford to participate, but our best bet is to give the corporations giving us fascism as many consequences as we can.

The companies that brought forward project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation and the ones who donated millions to the Republican party.
