AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Look, I won't want to give people the impression that, by themselves, boycotts are going to end fascism. By that same measure if the rich nazis paying for all this fascism do have a soft underbelly, it's definitely their ties to the capitalism system and their need to keep accumulating profit. It's not going to be the knockout blow, but cutting the flow of capital to corporations and businesses that support the Trump regime's fascist agenda does hurt and hinder these nazis; which is easily demonstrated by observing the panicked reactions of both Elon Musk and the Trump administration to the ongoing Tesla protests and boycott actions. Furthermore, while many Americans have not yet realized the only way out of this is to "shut it down" so hard it's impossible to do fascism for profit anyway, data shows that an increasingly large number of people (particularly younger and nonwhite people) who don't like fascism, broadly support boycotting companies that collaborate or comply with Trump's fascist agenda.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/22/boycott-companies-tesla-trump-musk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/22/boycott-companies-tesla-trump-musk</span></a></p><p>Exclusive: 20% of Americans support boycott of firms aligning themselves with Trump agenda</p><p>"One in five Americans plan to turn their backs for good on companies that have shifted their policies to align with Donald Trump’s agenda, according to a new poll for the Guardian.</p><p>As high-profile brands including Amazon, Target and Tesla grapple with economic boycotts, research by the Harris Poll indicated the backlash could have a lasting impact.</p><p>“Companies and consumers are playing a high-stakes game of chicken – corporations betting on convenience winning out over conviction, while consumers wield their spending power like a weapon,” said Libby Rodney, chief strategy officer at the Harris Poll.</p><p>“The data suggests this is a miscalculation,” she said. “When 20% of Americans are permanently changing their consumption habits and nearly a third of boycotters say they’ll hold out indefinitely, convenience may no longer be the decisive factor companies think it is.”</p><p>When asked about the boycotts that have been making headlines over the last few weeks, 36% of Americans said they are or will be participating."</p><p>Again, I don't want to get too carried away because history tells me that when you actually do make these rich nazis suffer consequences for their actions, they're going to try and make you keep paying them by force; at which point all hell will break lose, just like it did during the formative years of the American labor struggle. Right now however, nobody is really doing enough to make it cost more to be a nazi than corporate CEOs and investors gain from supporting the new nazism, and that's a situation that isn't good for any of us who don't want fascism. Boycotts are obviously only a start in the fight back against fascism; but a start, is definitely better than doing nothing.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/TeslaProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeslaProtests</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Boycott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Boycott</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tesla</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ResistEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResistEverywhere</span></a></p>
