BDS has called for an official boycott of Eurovision2024

Everyone...you know what to do

[ID 1: text on a black background reading: "Boycott Eurovision: Artwashing Israel's #GazaGenocide". The Eurovision logo is edited such that red barbed wire appears over the heart in the center.

ID 2: a tweet from "PACBI - BDS movement" @/PACBI reading:

We call for the boycott of #Eurovision2024". We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organizers @/EBU_HQ to ban genocidal Israel. #BoycottEurovision2024

I think I’m gonna have to agree. I can't wait to tell the family. Less pressure on us all, and we'll be telling the 'bend the knee 'ers, F'U.

This is the only thing that will affect some of trump's rich supporters. Protests are great, but they rarely bring about systemic change, particularly when the media downplays their significance. You have to hit the ruling class where it hurts in the pocketbook.

Stick to necessities. Stick to supporting small local and independent businesses in the community. Support black and minority owned businesses.

!!ATTENTION YOUTUBE USERS!!

Youtube is going to try to implement AI into their platform to find people's ages based on their viewing habits!

What does this mean for you?

There is a very high margin for error using AI, so you may be incorrectly accused of being under 18 where you WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A GOVERNMENT ID. This should not happen as it is under the GUISE of protecting children, BUT THE CHILDREN WHO WATCH CHILDISH THINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PRESENT AN ID TO CONTINUE WATCHING WHAT THEY LIKE, ANS IF CHILDREN ARE WATCHING 18 AND OVER CONTENT, THEY WILL BE MARKED AS FINE.

THIS WILL NOT PROTECT CHILDREN.

They are testing this out, so please don't go on YouTube on the 13th, we can make the platform safe, because they will see that the numbers are down, and that people don't want this!!

Also, if you are a parent and don't want your child exposed to adult content, monitor what they are watching and if you allow them on YouTube, make it YouTube Kids.

ALSO!! Boycotting for more than one day will make more of an impact and would be helpful, but it's understandable if you need to use it (e.g. for schoolwork). I would recommend using it as sparingly as you can, because that would decrease their total revenue and would make a difference still!

And ---- i cannot stress this enough. Relying on something being bad in order for you to boycott it will not work. Because what if it turns out to be good? What if it turns out to be amazingly done and everything that was wrong with the OG had been fixed and they've made a truly fantastic TV show that is adored by everyone who watches it? What then?

Does your boycott hold?

It should. But if youre predicating your boycott on "its going to be bad," then you might struggle if it turns out that its good.

If youre choosing to boycott a show/movie/company/etc for moral reasons, then the moral reason NEEDS to be enough to sustain your boycott.

If youre only able to boycott things that you wouldn't watch/consume/participate in/etc, then you might be susceptible to caving. Maybe today you just.... really really feel like a trashy garbage macdonalds burger. Or maybe the TV show or movie ends up being good after all. Or maybe the company puts out a product that you really reallllllyyy like.

But if youre boycotting something because you have a moral objection to the people/company thats creating the product, then it doesn't matter how good the product is or how much you want it. You'll hold true to your boycott because your morals haven't changed. The quality of the product is irrelevant. Maybe it makes it more of a sacrifice on your part, to stick to your boycott even when the product is good, but at the end of the day your morals will likely win out and you'll stick to your guns.
