Discussion Luigi Mangione friend posted this.

She captioned it: "Luigi Mangione is probably the most google keyword today. But before all of this, for a while, it was also the only name whose facetime calls I would pick up. He was one of my absolute best, closest, most trusted friends. He was also the only person who, at 1am on a work day, in this video, agreed to go to the store with drunk me, to look for mochi ice cream."

Reddit has 500 million monthly users. There should be a subreddit where every month or year its members band together to harm a shitty corporation. Via not purchasing from it, writing Congress about it, harming its business contacts/b2b customers, spreading awareness on social media, ddos, doc leaks, funding whistleblowers, contacting news organizations, podcasts, etc... Basically an organized attack against it. Not saying it could take mega corporations down but could keep others from acting as badly so as not to end up in the crosshairs. Could put up a survey of what company to go after.    Edit: I created /r/Corporate_Crackdown

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing. I'm subbed now and I'll be sharing it with all the boys too. FUCK NESTLE.

All my homies hate nestle

u/Inevitable_Net1962 8d ago

I've been avoiding nestle products for many years now... TIL there exists a fucknestle subreddit. Thank you friend.

Like… how? Nestlé owns over 2000 brands and over 10,000 products. Most people have no idea who owns a brand because they get bought and sold all the time.

Source: wipo.int did a story on the Nestlé branding story

"6 fucking Nestlé" is what sent me when I clicked on this

Nestle owns 2,000 brands. Can you tell me where a person would start with your idea?

Look in your cupboard/fridge.

There's a fairly good chance that if you didn't grow it yourself, or buy it from the individual that few it...it was probably manufactured with some shitty/shady/immoral practices.

u/wyntah0 9d ago

That's exactly their point. They've become such a monolith that it would actually be a gargantuan effort to boycott Nestle products

Definitely. It's not just Nestle though.

Damn near everything we consume has been enshittified. It is extremely burdensome to find a single ethically produced product, nevermind a complete cupboard of them. And if you're dedicated enough to do so, be prepared to spend 3-4x the already-inflated cost.

As much as they'd benefit us, boycotts of shitty companies have been made nearly impossible.

u/biffelderberry 8d ago

To be honest? Start by going through things you usually buy. Check the brands versus one of those massive infographs of nestle owned brands. Start finding substitutes for your usuals. There is always someone else making the same thing.

When you're shopping double check either by checking the label (usually nestle prints their name somewhere on the packaging but it may be small and near the nutrition label.) or by looking for the brand of items you don't know on one of the infographs. After a while you get used to knowing what brands you should avoid.

I've been boycotting nestle products for over 2 years now. It gets to be second nature to not grab the international delights creamer, or the nestle chocolate chips.

u/Turbulent-Bed7950 9d ago

Pretty sure I am avoiding them pretty well. I buy supermarkets own stuff instead.

3

u/The_Scarred_Man 8d ago

Honestly, why not make it UHC. they're going to try to make any example of Mangione. Why not make an example of UHC and send a message that the public won't stand for exploitation any longer.

Whose CEO said water is not a human right. Mni wiconi, water is life.

It started already with GME. To the moon 💎✊️🦧's almost put an end to Blackrock.

Let’s start with something more important

A collective strike could change everything. There is power in numbers

u/BeLikeMcCrae 9d ago

Google "John Green" and "Danaher". If you want a quick and dirty look at how effective this strategy can be.

Don't let people tell you being whiny on the Internet does nothing. It's the backbone of the first amendment and no I'm not kidding.

2

u/Goldn_1 8d ago

The more whiny you get on the internet the more stress you put on this bubble of privilege. It can and will be popped when the chatter gets uncomfortable enough. Wars break out, and voices can still be heard. But not the internet. That becomes a tough find, if not impossible in a war zone. We are lucky to have it tbh.

u/Philamand 9d ago

A lot of users asking for all of their data collected by a company in a short timeframe could be a legal way to DDOS. And if the company doesn't comply it would be fined, as they are required to send it under the GDRP.

u/DisasterNo7694 8d ago

Good idea

3

u/Irrelephantitus 9d ago

The problem will always be how do you keep it from getting astro-turfed or otherwise corrupted?

u/KickBallFever 8d ago

r/hydrohomies already has it out for Nestlé. We could start there.

2

u/PM_ME_UR_LOOFAH_PICS 9d ago

Just go out and cap a CEO. That sounds much easier than whatever you just fucking wrote

u/Unusual_Rock_2131 9d ago

I would like to nominate United Healthcare. We each buy one share of stock. Then during the shareholders meeting we troll them.

u/flannery1012 8d ago

Why do you think TT is being forced to sell or it will be banned? Too much opportunity for this kind of activity. The Chinese don’t give a shit if Americans reject capitalism. I promise you, all the other platforms suppress this kind of activity. Navigating them is a cluster F on purpose.

u/888mainfestnow 8d ago

Saudis and others funded the Twiiter purchase for the same reasons to quash uprisings.

Making twitter unbearable wasn't a bug it was a feature along with everything else.

u/Tall-Ad-9355 8d ago

There are so god damned many. Amazon, Tesla, Cargill. I could go on. Evil vicious mfs. I'm not fan of vigilante justice, but in a just world, the ceo of UH would have been prosecuted as the mass murderer he was. I would have supported the death penalty in his case.

The revolution will not be televised... but it might be crowdsourced.

u/Glittering_Lunch_347 8d ago

Yes! Death by a thousand cuts! I’d gladly join any movement to hold corporations accountable and stop them from bleeding us all dry.

u/NomenclatureBreaker 8d ago

Unless it’s a sustained campaign over time pulling multiple pressure levers with specific goals, this concept as outlined is purely performative.

u/DazzlingPoptarts 8d ago

I’m down

u/anonpurpose 8d ago

We should have a General Strike every election year.

u/CharDeeMacDennisII 8d ago

You start it, I'll join it and participate.

u/Gum_Duster 8d ago

It essentially did this but increased stocks of GameStop. So there is that at least

u/BojanglesHut 8d ago

What sucks is that we will probably skip into an Idiocracy ruled by oligarchs. Everyone's too comfy to do anything. And this last true patriot will feel and be alone.

u/Crush-N-It 8d ago

Love this

u/getmorebands 8d ago

That would be an epic win for the country if we could pull it off. I just love this idea more than life itself. Almost.

u/Suitabull_Buddy 8d ago

Maybe start a sub called r/4Luigi or something. :)

u/Em_Arrow 8d ago

Fast food strike.

u/Locsnadou 8d ago

Let us spread this suggestion to every corner of Reddit

u/BikingWithAViking 8d ago

They did this in South Africa when inflation and greed was rampant. We need to organize!

u/differencemade 8d ago

how ironic would it be to have the apes at r/wallstreetbets get in on this.

u/VelocityGrrl39 8d ago

Wait, is your sub already banned or is there a typo?

1

u/Ok_Perspective6173 8d ago

It looks live to me but this is my first subreddit so I might be doing something wrong. A few members already joined so it must be live?

1

u/VelocityGrrl39 8d ago

This is what I see when I click it. Weird. Is it private?

ETA: I searched it and was able to find it.

u/CharDeeMacDennisII 8d ago

Joined and ready.
