You might feel helpless with the billionaire fascists controlling the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Whitehouse, and the corrupt Supreme Court. You are not helpless and you are not alone. There are many millions of us who want to stop oligarchy from stealing from us and stop fascist injustice. The current regime is doing its best to paralyze us with fear, but know you are strong, and ACTION CURES FEAR. Some people are working through the courts, others are writing letters and calling their reps, and still others are taking to the streets, but many of us are busy with school and jobs and families. When can we find the time to do
something? Well, I am happy to tell you that you can resist the fascist oligarchy while going about your days normally.
Do you know what percent of the food industry and rural Americans support Christian Nationalism and oligarchy-run American Fascism? 65 to 70 percent. One way to reduce their influence is to defund them by cutting meat out of your diet. Most people consume about 224 pounds of meat per year. At four dollars a pound (2020 average), that’s about three dollars a day, 900 dollars per year! Six percent of the people in the USA are vegetarian (20,000,000 people). They alone cost the meat industry 18 billion dollars a year. If an additional 10 percent of the population in America decided to become vegetarian, it would cost the meat industry more than 218 million a day, about 4 billion a month, almost 12 billion a quarter, or around 50 billion a year. This loss is big enough to cause disruptions throughout the entire supply chain, affecting farmers, feed suppliers, processors, distributors, and retail, especially in fascist-supporting areas across the country. It goes like this. Just let everyone know that as long as they support fascism, they will suffer the consequences. The year they vote out fascists and vote in progressives, and the year we get the Supreme Court we want will be the year we start eating meat again. Let's not eat meat until Citizens United is overturned, big money and religion are taken out of politics, and the rich are taxed at post-World World II rates.
The GOP receives donations not only from the meat-packing industry but also companies in traditional agricultural sectors like corn, wheat, and sugar. We can reduce the money they make by cutting the commodities out of our diet. People generally spend 3 to 3.5 dollars a day or 99 dollars a month on carbs and sugars. If 16 percent of the population stopped this, the food industry would lose 1.58 billion per month or 19 billion dollars per year. This loss would lead to economic strain, job losses, and market disruptions, putting immense pressure on fascist and Christian Nationalist areas in the country, It goes like this. Just let everyone know that as long as they support fascism, they will suffer the consequences. The year they vote out fascists and vote in progressives and the year we get the Supreme Court we want will be the year we will start eating cereal, bread, noodles, French fries, and desserts again. We will continue until Citizens United is overturned, big money and politics are taken out of politics, and the rich are taxed at post-World World II rates.
Now think about not eating either meats or carbs. If 16 percent of the population cuts both meats and carbs from their diets, the food industry would lose 200,000,000 a day, 6 billion a month, 12 billion a quarter, and 67 billion dollars a year, leading to severe economic strain. Just let everyone know that as long as they support fascism, they will suffer the consequences. The year they vote out fascists and vote in progressives and the year we get the Supreme Court we want will be the year we will start eating our meat and potatoes, French fries, and desserts again. We will continue until Citizens United is overturned, big money and politics are taken out of politics, and the rich are taxed at post-World World II rates.
If it is too difficult or impractical for you to eat a low-carb vegan diet every day, then choose two days a week to do it. You would cost the industry 12.6 dollars per week, 665 dollars a year. If 10% of the population did this, then it would cost the industry 22,610,000,000.
Let me add that by cutting meats and carbs from your diet, you are also improving your health and increasing your lifespan, avoiding medical costs and extending the number of years to get retirement payouts, your "entitlements"..
If you don’t want to bother thinking about what to eat, then just fast one day a week. Go one day without eating. The average person eats about 5000 dollars a year or 13 dollars a day. If 34,400,000 people (10% of the US population) fasted one day, that cost the food industry 447,200,000 dollars. If those 34 million fasted once a week for a year, it would cost the food industry 23,254,400,000.
In conclusion. we can defund fascists down by cutting out meat, by cutting out carbs, by cutting both every day or a couple of days a week. You can also do it by going one day a week without eating. Whatever diet you choose, just do it routinely and share the experiences with like-minded friends. The effects of street protests and court events come and go quickly. But our aggressive passive resistant is on-going and relentless.
If Trump and Maga can wage their trade wars with other countries, progressive Americans can wage their own trade war with fascists. There is nothing illegal about it. We have no treaty with fascists. There are many ways to burn something down without lighting a match.
