I didn’t say all boycotts are ineffective, merely that most recent ones have been directed at things meant for entertainment and personal use. It takes a big enough threat for enough people to want to do it: slavery, apartheid, segregation, and annexation are. An angry billionaire tweeting their evil bullshit can be, but isn’t perceived as such by the general populace enough to avoid purchasing a game licensed from them.
Boycotts for media work about as well as those for Hogwarts Legacy, not buying a Tesla post 2024, or staying off PSN after Sony announced game discs will no longer be made. Sadly most people don’t care about the political views of those who make these things unless it personally affects them. The only successful boycott I’ve seen recently is Canadians avoiding American goods in supermarkets and even that took an existential threat of annexation for them to act on it.
You’d have an easier time herding cats.
Politics in the US is only now getting special attention because the insulation of the average voter is finally being pierced by the terrible shit Trump is doing. As soon as gas goes back to under a certain threshold, the propaganda networks will slowly turn their viewers back into comfortable and complacent fools with their culture war bullshit.
This country has a very narrow window of sobriety to actually change things back for the better before it goes back to its bread and circuses. I only hope the next couple of upcoming elections has no attempted subversion of democracy by the ruling class.
Lying liar lies again when called out on his latest lie.
Yet they’ll still be voted into office long after this administration is over. The average independent American voter has a pathetically short memory. Republican voters on the other hand are simply cruel and will vote for this every time.
Collecting Shark Card sales profits?
It’s pathetic seeing them try so hard to be part of the GOP’s “in” group knowing they’ll never be accepted by the bigots.
It’s okay the leopards haven’t gotten to eating his face yet.
Right after winning the election no less.
Kentucky’s governor is basically Chuck Schumer, all bluster. What a disappointment.
Don’t know why you’re being down voted. It predicts a much more drastic heat dome event compared to what Europe just experienced this year. It even discusses the way the polar ice sheets melting can accelerate if enough water starts accumulating underneath it. It also emphasizes international cooperation to have a chance at curbing the worst of the damage global warming will do.
At least the Baileys are always on his side.
That’s disappointing to hear. I hope there’s an easy way to reversibly disconnect the data antenna while keeping every other service intact. It really sucks being constantly aware that anything you say in your own car’s cabin may no longer be private.
Do you know if Telo has telemetry? Can’t find info on that anywhere.
You mean gives them a mandatory paid vacation while it all blows over?
It’s such a barbaric act I wish rumors of it causing autism would persist to discourage parents from doing it anyway.
Everything is political. Even things that claim not to be are.
Just donate the books for a tax break or sell them at a discount. The destruction has a level of cruelty equal to restaurants poisoning their surplus food in the garbage.
Car manufacturers promoting fascism are sadly a thing though. Ford loved Nazi ideology and let’s not even mention German brands.
After he dies, I wouldn’t mind a toxic waste dump to be named after him. Maybe if Ukraine agrees the Chernobyl sarcophagus could be branded with a big gaudy “TRUMP” logo.
