            Discussion on the internet is dead. You ask a question and people respond with meme pictures and downvotes instead of a point.

                How? I genuinely believe something along the lines of an organized boycott would be far more impactful than a hail mary petition. The reason I think it wouldn’t work is because most people couldn’t commit. That’s why I said this isn’t activism.

                It’s not activism if you’re not putting in any effort. I don’t care if people downvote me, but at least post an actual opinion. Have an actual stance. I’m glad others have posted some, although all of them seem to be along the lines of “this petition will definitely fix everything so we don’t need to try anything else”.

                  What even is your point? Besides “I don’t like this thing so I’m going to shit on it”? You’ve made no actual arguments against the initiative. All you’ve said is that it doesn’t work (technically you haven’t even said this, at best you’ve implied) and I could just as easily say that about your boycott “solution” as well.

                  You have no point. You’re just shit stirring. That’s why you’re a bad faith troll.

                    My point is that the movement should be doing more than just signing an online petition. What happens if the EU parliament declines to make any changes? Nothing? Oh well we tried? What will you do?
