European here. So how did this go yesterday? News coverage?

When you find out most of the people live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to buy in bulk, or don't even have a place to store it because they live in an apartment, is when you realize that only a certain privileged subset of them is able to participate in this type of passive protests...

I mean, I've been very poor. Not buying is the easy part when you're poor - buying stuff is the hard part, so not sure what your point is on this one.

Before anyone decides to reply to this person's comment or reads it and thinks they're being legitimate, read their replies to me.

They're arguing in bad faith to undermine any protests and don't care at all about whether someone is poor or not.

Who the fuck is arguing? You must be a retard who gets triggered and fights everyone. Did you just come from reddit? Lmao

Buy Nothing Day has existed since the 1990s — I believe that Kalle Lassen popularized it in his ADBUSTERS monthly.

Coverage in AP and NPR is amazing progress.
