Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.
Rules
- Do not gatekeep resistance
- Do not organize specific subversive plans here.
- Do not identify yourself or anyone else here.
- Do brainstorm general ideas about how to support people who need it and stymie the efforts of fascists
- Do share thoughts on how to be personally prepared for subversive action

It ought to be stop buying things you don't absolutely need starting on the 28th.
Dude......I've been doing that since.......always. Hell, I don't even buy the things I DO need!!!
I’m already checking out of buying things. Yeah I get what I need but I’m cutting all bunch of non essentials
The idea is to buy the essentials on other days if possible too. It won't have a major impact for the corporations in the long term, but if it works it might force at least some minor conceptions to appease the more scaridy shareholders (let's not delude ourselves that management boards care about customers or a single bad revenue day).
The cynic in me thinks this can easily backfire if Amazon and Walmart decide to announce black friday level discounts on that day .
What if it makes the general consumer question regular pricing when those massive discounts hit on that day?
Does Black Friday do that?
