Blackout The System has called for a nationwide boycott, urging participants to refrain from working or spending money from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2 as a protest against a damaged government and economic system.

In recent days, Blackout The System—a movement advocating unity across race, culture, and class—has been actively promoting the upcoming Second Wave economic blackout. Scheduled around the Thanksgiving holiday and extending through Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the initiative aims to become the most significant economic blackout protest in U.S. history, demonstrating that real power belongs to the people—not corrupt governments, billionaires, or broken systems.

“Day one, no work. No shopping. We vanish from their system,” an Instagram video says. “We are the economy. Without us, nothing moves. We pulled our money. They can’t buy our silence.” “Day one, no work. No shopping. We vanish from their system,” an Instagram video says. “We are the economy. Without us, nothing moves. We pulled our money. They can’t buy our silence.”

“We are shutting down the U.S. economy – strategically and peacefully – by removing our labor, our spending, our financial support, forcing the system to listen,” a statement on the movement’s website says. “This movement launched to reclaim power, restore justice, and unite people across all races, cultures, and classes.”

I will do my best to support this--- eliminating all non-essential spending during this period!

(By then I will also be out of SNAP funds if the shutdown eliminates November funds from coming---
I read that Walmart will be especially hurt by that fact!)


If you have Christmas shopping that you MUST do, seems you could easily do it
BEFORE or AFTER that specific week....


Protesting in the streets is GREAT--- but cutting off money to the oligarchs is even better--
and possibly speaks with an even LOUDER voice!

(all the ****ers seem to care about is MONEY after all. Gas up your car before November 25th!)

Some of the DUmmies have no clue how economics work and are all for this.

Who do they think suffers the most if there's an economic downturn? Is it a) billionaires, CEOs and multimillionaire career politicians like Bernie Sanders or b) the average Joe living paycheck-to-paycheck who loses his job, loses his income, defaults oh his mortgage and ends up living as a homeless person/family in a tent on the streets of LA, SF, Portland or Seattle?

They want to relive 2008 in order to teach rich people a lesson. What morons.

How many such shutdowns did Trump-Hating Progs proclaim in 2017-2021 and since November 2024? With 100% failure,     ?

Oh noes!!!

Another not one dime day.

How did the last 10 or so work out?

I'm not a big-time shopper, but if Proggies fantasize they will affect "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday", they're practically drowning in their -water.

Proggies, blacktivists, and Hispanactivists cannot emerge from their fantasies far enough to admit that there are not enough Trump-Haters in the general population, among blacks, or among Hispanics for their shutdown fantasies to become noticeable.

I don't have any money. Can I boycott the stores too?

You're not doing anything, DUmmie.  This has already been declared a bust and an internet laughingstock. 

Kind of a fun thread, with some dummie fights.  It also features a long, boring, word salad from DFW, but you can skip that as usual.  Yeesh, imagine that guy in real life.  What if you were stuck in a car with him?

Black Friday numbers have been trending down for a while now, so boycotting it probably will not make the statement these nutters think it will.

Love the "don't go to work" one.  Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck anyway, whether they are getting benefits or not, and cannot afford in any way shape or form to not go to work for a week, not only financially, but few jobs will let them back in after missing a whole week. 

Someone on the radio said Rosie O'Donnell was plugging this, the only folks who might actually follow through are out of touch, well off limousine liberals like her, Bernie, AOC and others.  Then they will make all their regular purchases on Nov 24 and Dec 3.

Lefty: Trump is ruining the economy!

Also Lefty: Hey! Do you know what would be cool? If we ruined the economy!

[Ralph Wiggum]

Oh noes!!!

Another not one dime day.

This time we REALLY REALLY MEAN IT!!!!!

It is quite ironic that according to them, President Trump has ruined the economy, therefore they would have less money. Obviously this isn't true, but it is what they keep spouting. Anyway, since the economy is so bad and their financial situations are in dire straits, they are now just going to now NOT spend the money they don't have?

It makes no sense, but then again leftists rarely do.

As lying liars who constantly lie, the DUmmies will indeed shop for the "Black Friday" deals, and then promptly and proudly go on DU and claim that they didn't buy anything during the entire period.

Blackout The System—a movement advocating unity across race, culture, and class

A lie.

Nothing the left does advocates real unity.

A lie.

Nothing the left does advocates real unity.

Especially white-hating race-baiting ethnic activist groups.
