What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?

Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.

Roll over and die then while the rest of us fight.

Just block these people. They aren't worth it. We could prove them wrong 100x and they would never concede how much of a pussy ass bitch they are.

Oh my sweet summer child.

This is hyperbole which doesn't help anyone.

"Fighting" at every opportunity just runs you down. As in all things you need to pick your battles and I fear that this isn't the right one to pick.

Take your patronizing elsewhere. I'm almost 50 and a military veteran. I have no time for weak minded people or propagandists trying to get everyone to lay down and accept what's going on.

In fact why are you even posting in this sub if you just want to do nothing? Suspect.

I always find it kinda pathetic when people quote credentials in an anonymous platform. Like is it supposed to mean something that you're a military veteran, even if that is true?

The phrase "my sweet summer child" does not refer to your age in years. I'll reiterate that you do seem to have the perspective of an innocent child believing that everything can be fixed by avoiding buying macdonalds for a day.

As a military veteran your countless hours in armed conflicts would no doubt inform you that you can't just go charging off into the darkness with no plan and no support. You need to consider your resources, strategise your campaign, rally supporters, and adopt positions you know you can defend without casualties.

Shutdown 315 will fail and most of the people who support it will lose hope and won't be involved next time round. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this type of thing were a project 2025 initiative. It would be a good move if it were.

Being a veteran isn't a 'credential'. Just like you being on my block list isn't. Good luck with your pathetic trolling.

Sure, block everyone offering constructive criticism, that's a fine plan.
