"There will be riots in the streets and looting will be everywhere!"

[xuenchen]

What are they boycotting?

That is "to be announced" 

[Bootless]

Youtube, Facebook, TikTok, variousl headlines confirm the far Left is planning a nationwide boycott and work stoppage on September 16-20.  

The plan seems to be to not buy anything and to skip work.  

Civil unrest may happen but I haven't heard it mentioned specifically.

Thanks. First I've heard of it. Good job spreading the word.

- No Work
- No Spending
- No Travel
- No Projects
- No Events 
- No Restaurants 
- NO BACKING OUT!!!

Check on all that. It's my normal lifestyle.
I do back out though if someone invites me to a free restaurant meal.

Let's see

Adjust your W-4. Check your Taxes. Every paycheck, they take more than you owe — then give it back without interest at tax time. Adjust your W-4 so you keep more in your pocket now, instead of letting them use it all year.

Yeah, if you get back a butt load of money on tax returns, like $1,800, you can add 1 exemption more to you W-4. 

Remove/withdraw your money from the banks. Banks lend your money to corporations that purchase politicians who make policies against the people.  Regional credit unions are a better option.

Cancel SubscriptionsAnything unnecessary - CUT IT. Put your money back in your pockets and drive a wedge between your resources and their products. 

Check

Share this movement with friends, family, coworkers and across all social media platforms. NOW IS THE TIME TO UNITE. 

Okay. I'm posting this post.

Yaaay! I'm all in, but then I've been at it for about 20 years. Corruption will end any day now. any day now, any day now.

Is this like the same thing as all the women that said they were going to shave their heads if Trump won the election? What ever happened with that?

Looks like it fizzled out. Based upon an online South Korean 4B movement

The four core tenets to the 4B movement are:

• no sex with men (Korean: 비섹스; RR: bisekseu),
  
• no giving birth (비출산; bichulsan),
  
• no dating men (비연애; biyeonae), and
  
• no marriage with men (비혼; bihon).
  

...
Expansion to the United States

After the 2024 United States presidential election in which Donald Trump won a second term, some American women expressed interest in the 4B movement as a form of protest against Trump's election, his alleged sexual assaults, and his role in the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Other American women expressed interest in 4B as a method to support other women and to protect their health and safety should they lose access to birth control or abortion. Shortly after the election was called, TikTok videos mentioning 4B were viewed hundreds of thousands of times, and Google searches about it spiked by 450%. American women have called the movement the "4 Nos" and "Lysistrata".

I think it was more about the Lysistrata play than anything else.

Great way to decide who gets laid off. Shop lifting should be down these days,. Hard to steal if you don't enter the stores.

Haven't they tried to organize something like this before but not very many people participate because in actuality they can't really miss work or they can't afford their lives?

I mean. I like my job a lot and I STILL every day wake up thinking like.....did something happen today that means I don't have to go to work? 

By "something" I mean......asteroid striking earth, Yellowstone eruption, Project Bluebeam style Alien lazers destroy White House.

Nope. Darn. Guess I'd better get out of bed then. 

I definitely do not think....well..............I think rather than voting and encouraging others to vote, I am just going to decide to skip work for a few days and see how TPTB like THAT! I bet it cripples them!!!! Hehehehehe. This is what's called delusion.

NOTHING EVER HAPPENS!

Likely will be where many sign up, but few actually participate.

Will be hard to prove a negative (i.e. who's not at the stores or shopping online).

At the bottom of their page one can sign up for a pack "free" home garden seeds, which has the problems of (1) garden seeds in the fall?, and (2) nothing in this world is free. Wonder who the data is getting sold to.

There would seem to be a risk of rioting if people stay out of work and don't buy anything.

Actually, after analyzing my lifestyle, I have concluded that if everyone lived like me there would be no civilization.

No bars, no theatres, no concerts, no sports, no casinos, no brothels, no restaurants, no breweries, no distilleries, no drug trade, no cars, no gasoline, etc.

All business owners and other lovers of civilization should take to the streets and riot against anarchists.
