As the initial dust settles over the “indefinite” suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show over comments he made about MAGA fans' reaction of the shooting of far-right extremist Charlie Kirk, the onus now falls on Disney/ABC for the next move.According to a report from NBC News, the exe...
Don’t re-sign up, remember this moment, they aren’t you friends. Torrent the movies/shows you want to watch, don’t go to their parks, don’t let your children get an early childhood obsession with them, don’t buy their toys and merchandise, and do this for all the evil companies.
McDonald’s, BK, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, dominos, papa John’s, pizza hut, those are easy ones. Stop eating fast food and stop feeding it to your children. I bet there are 20 good independent coffee shops near you, stop buying Nazi charcoal. Find a local pizza shop with a brick oven, I’m sure they deliver.
Google, Amazon, stop paying for their services. Buy some hard drives and learn to self host, it’s never been a better time. Blocks ads when not using their services.
Boycott and divestment works, it’s what ended apartheid in South Africa, it’s effecting Israel’s economy and may very well end the apartheid in Palestine once Americans wake up and stop the unlimited funding of genocide with their children’s future. These companies will only stop being evil when customers let them know that evil is a red line, but as long as apathy continues it’ll be more profitable to be as evil as they are today, and worse.
Microsoft is worse than Google, Oracle is worse too. I mean yeah, boycott Google, but fuck Microsoft and Oracle extra hard.
Oracle takes from businesses as much as they can. I consider that fair play. What makes them worse than Google? The TikTok deal?
There’s that, but also Larry Ellison is a fucking monster and massive Trump booster. The Paramount deal that got rid of Colbert was due to the Ellison family owning Skydance, which just acquired Paramount.
Also Oracle is an enemy of OpenSource, they acquired Sun and MySQL and OpenOffice, then attempted to destroy them. Oracle can rot in hell.
I didn’t mean to leave them out, I wasn’t making an exhaustive list, I just thought of what everyone probably still uses and pays for (Google, YouTube, Amazon prime, etc).
Microsoft is all cloud and enterprise now, they are much harder to directly boycott effectively by consumers. But yes, avoid them too.
I know this is Lemmy where we’re all on Linux already, but a lot of people out there still use Windows, and that’s a massive source of income and control for Microsoft that people could stop using. At the very least they could cancel OneDrive.
