BadEthical consumption, 1860
tomiantI have said for years, the argument “vote with your wallets, folks!” is bad because:
“Hey if you don’t like slavery, just don’t buy slaves! Then everyone gets what they want.”
owenfromcanada“Vote with your wallet” is valid and often effective, but it’s not enough on its own. Also vote with your voice, your democratic power, and when all else fails, bricks.
Tar_AlcaranBreaking windows got women the right to vote and everyone the right to unionize.
Also in GB, it got the common man the right to vote at the same time, since they were fighting WWI at the time and the parliament couldn’t really argue against it anymore.
Lesson: angry women get what they want.
