We should all be bullying companies more.. Less bullying people and more bullying companies and orgs!!

Yes people make up a company blah blah blah.. Don't care. Just don't bully the people working there.

And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.

I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Oh Nazis deserve to just be punched (nonstop).

You heard the time Elon was told to go back to Africa. That was hilarious.

So, cyberbullying and toxic gamer communities are very much a thing and definitely a problem, but I have to admit, that story really did make day... I laughed for a while, I shared it with my neighbors, it's still fucking funny!

You know, the thing is... the whole mess was entirely Elon's fault. If he just wanted an escape from his stressful life, he could totally just play the game and it would work out fine for him. But because he felt the narcissistic need to live stream it (because he apparently desperately needs others to tell him how awesome he is), he got his stupid face kicked into the mud. And that's really on him...

There’s definitely a power dynamic aspect to bullying. Bullying down? Or bullying another shmoe? Not great. Bullying a rich powerful asshole? Different story.

Followed by his Starlink connection dropping out.

Bullying a bully is not bullying.

huh I definitely didn't delete this

Every company I've ever worked for deserves to be bullied.

Honestly that's letting the bastards running those companies get off light

The leadership (is supposed to) represent the people, the people do not represent the leadership. Israelis do not represent the Israeli government. Employees of a Meta subsidiary do not represent Meta, Facebook, or Zuckerberg. Don't attack McDonald's employees because the burger is more expensive, YouTube employees because the content preys on children or residents/soldiers of a country because the government decides to mobilise its army against another community. Employees are just victims of capitalism, just working there because they must, irrespective of politics.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Well yeah I said leave the people working there alone and target the corp or org. And my reasons are what you just outlined in great detail. They are victims of capitalism.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

Just don't bully the people working there.

What if they're C-suite

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

Key word is "working" people. C-Suite don't work, just tell others to work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

They aren't people, they are demons. So my rule still stands 🤣

Who do you think should be next?

Boycott all shitty companies.. We make a list and we keep adding shitty companies to the list and present a list of alternatives.

I am really staring to detest most of the biggies. Amazon. Nestle, google. I’m not even American and I think the health companies need hounding.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I've spent a good portion of the past 5 years detangling my life from them. The unfortunate hard one I face is amazon.

All companies need hounding in this hypercapitalist situation we have found ourselves into.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Amazon has been the easiest to get rid of for me. I just stopped buying shit. I’d rather do without than continue supporting this. My Alexa’s got dumped. I just need to replace my firestick and I am done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its the subscriptions, it makes my monthly stuff easier to manage. Other grocery stores have merged anyway so it's kinda watching 2 monsters fight, either way we are fucked lol. Alexa I get that. The firestick is decent hardware for the price you can try side loading Kodi and using that to bypass all their amazon BS. That way you get their subsidized hardware and avoid their ads.

Do you think we need a crusade group? I noticed a story about a tent group making money out of the camps earlier. Maybe we can all torment them. Happy to give a portion of my day bullying corps.
