There's a lot of talk these days about people being cancelled. This guy seems like the sort of person that would be an excellent candidate for it. I believe we, as a society, ought to collectively express our disgust at this kind of behavior.
So how is it done? How do we figuratively light the signal fires of Gondor and call forth the hosts to confront this evil?
Guillotine?
If Kev and his cronies keep pushing their neofeudalist garbage, that might just be the solution we'll see.
Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.
Better that people do not know this but I am pretty sure he is Canadian. No Presidential risk.
He tried putting his hat in the ring for Canada's PM. Didn't get much momentum. His wife killing a guy with their boat came back up in the news. There's speculation she took the fall for him because he was drunk and killing people while drunk driving your boat is generally frowned upon in Canada.
We could less-figuratively use O'Leary as the signal fires of Gondor.
Everyone should send these shitty people drawings of poop. Good ones, bad ones. Whatever your drawing level..... draw a poop, lable it with "poop" if youre not sure theyll get it and send it. That should get across that we collectively think they are shit.
These types of assholes usually have po box for their businesses at the very least. On their website they typically have some sort of mailing address under "contact us."
If we can get inundated with junk mail everyday from shitty businesses advertising I think we can return the favor on this one.
Edit - put the return address from the north pole
This could work.
#we're not taking your crap anymore
Maybe #shitpostal could work? dunno how any potential sensors would handle that one though. Don't want it getting filtered out or anything
You're right on making it more pithy, but if prefer something like #nomorecrap
I like that one a lot more! No censoring to worry about.
I'd really love for this to take off. It's a way to protest that people can participate in without having to disrupt their lives or take time off from work.
So how do we do this? Post the campaign on anti work, work reform, etc? Do we want to post elsewhere, or see how far this goes on Lemmy?
Honestly I have no idea and just kinda posted that without thinking too far ahead, not even sure if it was a good idea or if it would get any traction. I'm excited that there's at least some interest!
Post it whereever you think people would be interested in participating! Maybe start on lemmy first then branch out once people here seem to be aware of it? Then just see what happens! Hopefully some folks will participate.
I plan on sending some poop drawings this weekend to get the ball rolling. Maybe I'll post a pic of it on lemmy too to spread the word!
I'll figure out how to get the info sent to O'Leary. Then I'll check in with the mods to see if there's any rules to follow. It would be nice to do this as a community.
That sounds excellent! Thanks so much for helping to get this going for real!
I also edited my original comment to tell folks to use the north pole as a return address so everyone can remain anonymous under Santa.
Even better if you send it in their own, pre-paid postage envelopes they sent to you for whatever bullshit reason.
You realize you can send actual shit through the mail, yeah?
The mail carriers didn't do anything wrong, why would I send something through the mail that could completely ruin their day?
I'm looking to offend that rich cunt, not some poor worker who has to clean up a package full of shit if it gets destroyed in transit. Plus, mailing a piece of paper with a drawing of shit is far cheaper than mailing a box.
Boycott the companies funding them
