Yeah, I’ve cut back my spending dramatically. Reminds me of how it was in 2020 when I bought next to nothing except food and essentials for like 12-18 months. Once you break the habit, you stop thinking about it and it just becomes easy.
The idea isn’t who can hold out the longest, obviously the billionaires can. It’s the idea that we can all join together to do one so insanely simple event that the next one will just have all the more support.
The next events I’ve heard are the ones that actually start pushing boundaries, like walkouts, nation wide protests, and general strikes.
Still not enough. None of them care about walk outs and strikes. They’ll just get new employees.
Sure, it’s something, but it won’t happen at a large enough scale. People need to eat.
It’s gotta be something bigger, and hit home. And unfortunately, it’s probably not entirely legal. I’m not talking full-on Luigi. There’s a middle area of non-violence to other people, but to property and mental state.
I just been not buying things most days. Anti-consumerism 2025

If everyone just holds off buying their shit until March 1st, or buys everything they will need Feb 27, then this blip won’t have any effect.
You’ve got the right idea, if we want to actually hit them where it hurts. I’m doing the same, but not really by choice. I’m just broke.
They don’t care. It’s a game about holding out the longest. Protest all you want.
