The thing that’s been bothering me is, since when did a local, “ragtag group” of activists have this much influence on the actions of massive corporations? Bigger, more powerful groups have tried and failed to make changes like this over and over again. Why does collective shout have so much pull? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

Not that I disagree with you, but I do honestly think this stuff is more important.

I guess in his defense it wasn’t too bad before 2018, as far as I can remember. Most of the enshittification of fandom I can remember has happened since.

Remember all those times that lawmakers were rejected from inspecting ICE facilities?

I wonder how many more cases we’d know about if they had been allowed to.

He’s scared. Simple as. We had him begging Texas to redistrict, now this, he’s down in polls… he knows that he’ll lose ground next year. A democratic majority in the house or senate would be devastating for him, and that’s where things are headed right now.

I’m not sure what the “or” is for. Acts of civil disobedience are generally illegal or close to it. This is theft and civil disobedience, though not one I agree with (nor do I think it would be particularly effective, tbh). But something being civil disobedience doesn’t make it not illegal or not wrong it’s just the reasoning behind doing it.

But we can’t increase the workers’ wages, that would drive up prices!

Just ignore the prices constantly going up anyway while these guys conveniently get million dollar raises
