The Paper-Clip resistance starts today, here and now.

[lastlib]

On another thread, a DUer (Ocelot2?) mentioned that the Norwegian anti-Nazi Resistance in WWII used a paperclip on their clothing to identify resistance members. So today, I want to propose that we as Democrats/resisters do the same thing until we rid ourselves of these hell-beasts. Wearing a paperclip on our clothing will be a symbol of our opposition to the tRump regime and whatever hell he unleashes upon us.

The Resistance starts now. Wear your paperclip with pride and anger.

1. Stop buying stuff.

...the true and only power the American populace has is in our wallets.

3. Paper clips are everywhere. You probably wouldn't even have to buy them.

And they're really cheap anyhow, and useful for other things.

4. You've given us a great idea, Ocelot!

Thanks!

5. I wasn't talking about buying paperclips...

...I was talking about the action that our resistance should take- stop buying stuff.

6. Indeed...

The most expedient way to get the attention of capitalists is to stop buying stuff. I'm already at a minimum on that since I have a < $1K/mo income. All I have money for is bills and groceries.

I'm not a capitalist to begin with, I only participate in it as much as I must to survive in this capitalist society.

Time to eat the rich.

7. +1. Shout it from the roof top. We could crash/dent the fascist economy. Also put a run on the banks.

Let the fascist voters keep the economy afloat. It's worth a try. Repugs did a boycott on Bud Light and it worked.

2. And they're cheap and subtle.
