1. El Poder del Boicot y la Huelga General.
La conversación se centra en que las protestas tradicionales son insuficientes; la única forma de impactar al régimen y a los oligarcas que lo apoyan es a través de la presión financiera. Se promueven boicots masivos, huelgas generales y la retención del gasto, especialmente durante las festividades, bajo la premisa de que el dinero es el único lenguaje que entienden las élites.
- Money is their currency, so stop fueling their authoritarianism with your purchases.
- The simplest thing you can do right now to protest trump is unsubscribe and pull your money from the companies supporting the trump admin. Its not easy. But it is simple and effective look at what happened with the tesla takedown. All these people care about is money. Withhold that shit.
- At some point its time to go beyond protests. Its time for a national strike. Boycott, divest and go to alternatives. Billionaires losing money might freak them out.
- The economic boycott works. Its time for a long general strike to stop funding this tyranny through taxes, clicks, and money spent.
- Money is the only language. They cant live without your money.
- We need to boycott all businesses that support this regime. Money is all that matters to them. Prepare for general labor and economic strike.
2. Desmintiendo la Narrativa de Soros y Antifa.
Una parte significativa del archivo consiste en la burla y refutación de la acusación de la derecha de que los manifestantes son "pagados" por George Soros o Antifa. Los usuarios ironizan sobre la falta de cheques y señalan que la motivación es el patriotismo y la oposición al fascismo, no el dinero, destacando que la acusación es una proyección de la propia mentalidad de la derecha.
- Soros, you owe me for so many protests. I even went one time disguised as a republican to prove a point. I want my money, say a dollar a protest, ill take an even 100.
- I was wondering when i was going to get my check. Its almost as if the republicans are lying.
- Good job. The millions of paid antifa protesters need signs to carry. Any idea how i can sign up for some of that sweet antifa protest money?
- I just read the protesters are getting 500 a day to protest. Where can i get this money? you know what? we dont have to be paid to hate trump and what he is doing to the country. We hate him for free.
- I am leaving antifa. That heel, soros, still owes me for all of the protests i have attended. Wheres my money, george?
- I am the most openly antifa person i know. I am a lot of mailing lists. Checking my spam folder confirms the only ones asking me for money are the democrats.
- They have the mindset that people are only motivated by money. Well we aint like them. I protest for those who cant.
3. El Costo Real del Activismo Ciudadano.
Los participantes enfatizan que, lejos de ser pagados, están gastando su propio dinero y tiempo (materiales para carteles, transporte, días libres) para ejercer su derecho a la protesta. Se destaca la imposibilidad logística y financiera de que un solo individuo pague a los millones de manifestantes que asistieron a eventos como "No Kings".
- I spent my own hard earned money for protest supplies.
- Not only do i not get paid to attend rallies, i spend my own money on making signs, travel expenses donations when possible. All worth it, to fight an authoritarian government!
- I spent my money to be part of the rally. Got me a unicorn outfit, got a flag, spent money on travel to the nearest big city, got some water and a few snacks, and bought a hat.
- If 5-6 million people protested on the first no kings, that means george soros spent 5-6 million dollars paying each one 1? or if each protestor got 10 that would be 50-60 million? and how would he even get the money to them?
- If the protesters were getting paid minimum wage, it would have cost someone 100 billion for the protesters. Administrative costs of gathering names and actually getting people their money would probably put it close to 1 trillion.
- I am a 69 year old retired person who spent my own fucking money. There are no funds being sent to us. Youre lying and gaslighting.
