DoomsdaysCWHow to Turn an “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EconomicBlackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EconomicBlackout</a>” Into an All-Out War on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporatePower" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CorporatePower</a> Friday’s economic boycott is a one-day attack on corporate interests. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#degrowth</a> movement calls for a broader societal shift.Jonah Valdez, February 28 2025Excerpt: "Rooted in the work of American and European political theorists of the 1970s, the 'degrowth' movement criticizes a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#capitalist</a> system that seeks unending growth and profit, which has led to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecological" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ecological</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#environmental</a> ruin such as the impacts of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimateChange</a>. "Instead, it advocates for a system that prioritizes the needs of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/planet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#planet</a> and its people, such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#housing</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#education</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#healthcare</a>. According to Jason Hickel, a leading advocate of degrowth and author of 'Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World,' the movement calls for reducing consumption and production of things that harm the planet such <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FossilFuels</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SUVs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SUVs</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateJets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PrivateJets</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mansions" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#mansions</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FastFashion</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndustrialBeef" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IndustrialBeef</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CruiseShips" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CruiseShips</a>, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MilitaryIndustrialComplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MilitaryIndustrialComplex</a>."While the term may be unfamiliar to many Americans, its core ideas have cropped up in the Green New Deal’s goals of a post-fossil fuel economy; the pandemic-era phenomenon of white-collar workers voluntarily quitting their jobs and working less; and the recent social media trend of '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoBuy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NoBuy</a>,' which encouraged people to purchase less and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/repurpose" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#repurpose</a> more. "'People are getting a sense that they’re ripped off, that they’re being taken advantage of and exploited as consumers,' said Aaron Vansintjan, co-author of 'The Future Is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism.' 'It is promising that people are responding to the current moment by showing their distrust of these corporations.'"The boycott has drawn wide–ranging media coverage, along with the attention of some celebrities. It also caught the attention of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LindaSarsour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LindaSarsour</a>, a progressive activist best known for organizing the 2017 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomensMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WomensMarch</a> after <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Trump</a>’s first election. "'It is an easy risk-free way to invite masses of people to act in reaction to the outrageousness of this Administration,' Sarsour told The Intercept in an email."<a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/02/28/no-buy-nothing-corporation-boycott-capitalism-degrowth/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://theintercept.com/2025/02/28/no-buy-nothing-corporation-boycott-capitalism-degrowth/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corporatocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Corporatocracy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RepairCafes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibraryOfThings</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReuseRepairRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ReuseRepairRecycle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CircularEconomy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapitalismKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CapitalismKills</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalDamage" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EnvironmentalDamage</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WorldPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapitalismMustDie" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CapitalismMustDie</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlannedObsolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PlannedObsolescence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectMotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtectMotherEarth</a>

NNWest 🏳️‍🌈I haven't seen much circulating. Another economic blackout is happening on Friday.March 28: 24-Hour Economic Blackout<a href="https://thepeoplesunionusa.com/faq" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://thepeoplesunionusa.com/faq</a><a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/economicblackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economicblackout</a> <a href="https://retro.pizza/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resist</a>

AntinIf they don't exist already, here are a couple tools that I would love to create (but would need help with, if anyone is interested):1) FOSS Migrator - automated wizard that migrates people from proprietary/extractive systems to FOSS systems (the scope of this, in my mind, is quite large, but I've begun defining the requirements for modular development). This would be for folks who basically know nothing about FOSS. One exception to FOSS here would probably be Proton as the cloud suite replacement. 2) As an optional module to (1) but also standalone, a tool that automatically backs up account data (locally) from Google, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, etc., deletes/requests deletion of account data (and the entire account if desired), and enables all the available data privacy options (if keeping the account).IMO, ease of access is the biggest thing keeping people in extractive systems, so we need to make it just as easy to switch, with as little disruption as possible. Tall orders, but mission critical. The biggest challenge will be doing this for mobile devices. We desperately need open hardware options. <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/dataprivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dataprivacy</a> <a href="https://todon.nl/tags/economicblackout" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economicblackout</a>
