i dont buy there cus their coffee is shit but im just saying it gets to a point. do you boycott every single store that is tied to donating to israel? the bigger issue is policing individuals to help the issue when really its an illusion n not buying somewhere just makes you feel better about urself rather than actually doing smth for the cause. this energy should be directed towards shit thatll actually make an impact which most people dont do cus they think not buying sbucks is good enough
even if you choose to not buy a drink from starbucks your tax money is still going to israel and thats what needs to be fixed. if you do everything i mentioned n dont buy sbucks thats great but at the end of the day policing ppl over a drink is gonna make them feel shamed and less inclined to support the cause
Itās actually very easy to not buy from corporate stores if thatās what you mean. The farmer market exists, vendors exist, thrifting, small businesses. I canāt speak for everyone, but Iāve protested, donated to Gaza aid, and boycott establishments. You donāt need to do one thing at a time. If you can only put energy into a singular task, then thatās your own problem. Doesnāt mean people shouldnāt spread awareness about Starbucks. Sorry some people might care about it more than you I guess š¤·
starbucks isnāt on the BDS list. the reason ppl are boycotting it is because they treat their workers and like shit. it's rooted more in labor rights and unions. you can boycott at your discretion, no oneās stopping you, but it's not fundamentally unique in its suppression of labor rights, as most american-based companies do it. you should consult the BDS list, because its efficacy is contingent on how targeted it is. diffused pressure would mitigate the intended impact
i donāt discourage people from boycotting, and adding companies to boycott, but it is a little bit misleading to say that starbucks is actively bankrolling the genocide; it has a laundry list of unethical practices, exploitative in the global north and south, and it's not alone in that
Girl voting w your wallet is about if not more impactful than calling up your senator who frankly ignores us. Iām at my town halls w the other dedicated 8-12 ppl and you donāt sound like a single one of them- if youāre gonna be on a higher horse at least get on the horse! Come to our town halls! You should be involved locally! And Girl please educate yourself on international politics before you speak on it- Ik our education system failed us all w the Middle East but pls try man
The bus boycott would not have survived yāall š do you think that we gained civil rights because we asked pretty please? That gay rights were won without encouraging others to stand up with you while millions died to aids? We can play the game of policing each other but while you do that, moves are being made. The boycott has been incredibly successful in cutting their profits- drop the nihilism for a sec and just try
I have a refurbished iPad I got off back market second hand but donāt go hating people for using Apple products when there is not much of a choice-thereās an illusion of choice but itās a lot easier to find less shitty coffee than it is to she was between Apple or Google or whatever other shitty company is out there. Despite being so into the free market the Republican Party sure does love its monopolies and conglomerates beating the shit out of any new business that may give us actual choices
There is choice not to use Apple. Yāall complain so damn much and using the products thatās harming people. Itās people over here starving, dying, homeless, living check to check, and we in war. Yāall always blaming republicans. When both sides are bad. Yāall love to pick and choose who yāall donāt support. Itās not that hard to mind your business. Them getting Starbucks donāt effect yāall at all
I mean Iām trying and thatās all we ask of anyone is to try- I like a lot of ppl started small w boycotting just avoiding the biggest ones- target chic fil a McDonaldās Amazon and Starbucks. It can be hard to vote w your wallet when thereās a big issue w the illusion of choice but I try and we all should try our best. I donāt use apple but I donāt shit on ppl for using it as much bc thereās not many better options but I will remind ppl of the boycott for coffee when thereās so many alternatives
Android has got soooo many ethical concerns. Also, if we wanna play this game, Iāve had my phone since I was in high school- no company gets my money except Bloomingtonās cellphone repair when my screen cracked. Iām using it till itās bricked like my ps2 and xbox360. Also getting it secondhand when it was going to the dump before being donated doesnāt give apple money? Do you think that Apple gets anything for their trashed products being resold from a different company??
It seems like the only one whoās crying is you bro. why are you all butt hurt about this? I like to imagine what this mightāve looked like with historical boycotts like imagine this guy during the boycott of Germany during the holocaust or the Montgomery bus boycott or the nestle baby formula one. I mean keep going bootlicker but I promise the ppl wearing the leather your tongue scrapes donāt really care
IU actually paid me to come here- even paid for my rent and groceries. But after having my Professor fired after a semester in his ME politics class, after they took my job my housing and threatened my scholarship for being at Dunn meadow and a contract to finish my senior year under the conditions that I donāt speak on Palestine (and so campaigned incognito) Iām studying to go to Columbia (got a 172 hoping for a 175+ next test!!)
Donāt get me wrong there were many different colleges. I couldāve gone to. I prefer my in-state tuition though and the scholarships all wrapped up in a way that I wouldnāt have had debt if I chose IU not to mention, I thought it was a queer inclusive campus (itās not- The Declan Farley was my protege at the lgbtq cultural center) I will always love IU for my people my education my FOOTBALL TEAM!!! and my professors, but Pamela can choke on her next pay raise
