    I feel like the only person in the world who’s never cared for GTA

    We are also talking about gamers here. How many would give up gta6 just to take a stand? Most will probably say stuff like “no ethical consumption under capitalism” or “it’s not like it’ll make a difference”

    Gamers gonna game

      Not gonna solve the union busting. Individual boycotts (without a campaign behind them) don’t work.

          And Prunebutt shouldn’t be discouraging it. Voting with your wallet is the way to go and it’s the only thing any of us can do.

                  oh awesome thanks. I can give you my name and address if you want to go ahead and donate in my name. also I am broke as fuck so you can do that for me too.

                  and let me know when you want me to start organizing stuff in my neighborhood with the time i don’t have. you’ll have to come and take over my responsibilities too.

                  thanks this is super rewarding!

          You can form a cooperative, and hire them at prospective dividends plans.

                  That’s like a one person with an Excel sheet of work you just describe.
                  I can hire you at $Sales/150+you current [IWGB] unionists. How does that read?

                  Not UK barred yet.

                  Then just say “Wish you unionists best wishes. I feel at a loss on what to help with.”

                  I already said what they need to do from the start with my experience as a syndicalist. Heeding my expertise is another matter.

        Capitalist brainwashed folks like Meldrik do not comprehend his monopoly money means shit to a merger conglomerate propping up value for investors to get dupped on in an at-will state.
        GTA6, more like

        RP6F
