The Great Shift

Class Consciousness

Starve the Beast.

The only thing the oppressors understand is money.

So we shall speak their language.

It is not the left v right.

It is not you v I.

It is the people of America,
demanding our fair share of the billions hoarded by the exploitative, greedy, and abusive ruling class. 

*The Great Shift was created based on the Great American Protest (original post deleted by creator). This version has been simplified + built upon.

Phase 1 → Tech & Entertainment

  • Permanently delete all Facebook, Instagram, and Threads Accounts.

    Deletion vs. Deactivation

    *Deactivate = Temporarily offline, but it still exists and you can reactivate it

    *Deletion = Permanently deleting your account and unable to get it back

    How to Delete Your Instagram

    Delete your Instagram account through Accounts Center

    Follow these instructions:

    1. Go to Settings

    2. Select Accounts Center

    3. Select Personal Details

    4. Go to Account ownership and control

    5. Select Deactivation or deletion

    6. Select the account you want to delete

    7. Select Delete account

    8. Click Continue then follow the instructions to confirm

    How to Delete Your Facebook

    Delete your Facebook account through Accounts Center

    Follow these instructions:

    1. Click your profile picture in the top right of Facebook.

    2. Select Settings & privacy, then click Settings.

    3. Click Accounts Center at the top left of your screen.

    4. Click Personal details, under Account Settings.

    5. Click Account ownership and control.

    6. Click Deactivation or deletion.

    7. Choose the account or profile you want to delete.

    8. Select Delete account.

    9. Click Continue then follow the instructions to confirm.

  • If you can't delete your account due to family, work, and other legitimate reasons, at the very least change your advertising settings to disrupt revenue and if you can, install ad blockers. A large part of Meta revenue is from ads. Using ad blockers can help to suspend that flow of income. 

    **remember this protest is for the welfare of the American people, deletion is possible.

    *Pixel

    How to Delete Your X Account

  • The steady increase of ads on entertainment services, especially paid for services has surpassed its limit. Not to mention the steady increase of cost of these services on top of the increased ads.

    Choose 1 streaming service that is not Amazon or Disney+.

    Delete all others.

    This protest is against corporate greed.

    We can no longer pay our oppressors to entertain and exploit us. 

    This includes but is not limited to:

    *AmazonPrime (DO NOT KEEP THIS ONE)

    *Disney+ (DO NOT KEEP THIS ONE)

    *Hulu

    *Netflix

    *Peacock

    *AppleTV

    *Youtube Premium

  • It is time for a global shift. 

    Is it convenient, absolutely not.

     

    But that's the point.

    Convenience Kills.

    Mass statements like this are what push the needle forward within a movement.

     

    Here are platform switch recommendations. Use #globalshiftday + #globalshift

Phase 2 → Food Industry

The Great American Food Strike

GOAL: To divest money from greedy corporations that put profit before the people.

 

This is a protest for both the raising cost of groceries known as greedflation and for the current food systems which have allowed toxic products to run rampant in the United States. 

Halt all purchases from large name brands and the smaller brands they own.

Phase 3 → Fast Fashion + Overconsumption

Cancel Overconsumption

Overconsumption is the backbone of corporate greed, fueling the depletion of our natural resources, creating excessive waste, and accelerating climate change. It traps people in a cycle of spending on low-quality, short-lived products, benefiting corporations while harming both consumers and the planet.

Boycott Fast Fashion

Fast fashion brands not only exploit their factory workers, they exploit American consumers by constantly pushing new trends, relying on overconsumption and artificial scarcity to keep consumers in a cycle of wasteful spending, fueling corporate greed at the expense of workers and the environment.

Strengthen Local and Ethical Alternatives

* Support Small Businesses & Ethical Brands

* Create Local Business Directories ->

Compile lists of local artisans, tailors, + sustainable brands 

* Thrift & Swap Events -> Organize local clothing swaps + thrift over buying new

* Learn Repair & DIY Fashion -> Learn/Teach sewing, patching, + repurposing clothes

Phase 4 → Community Communication

Encryption is Key

It's crucial to use encrypted communication platforms because they protect sensitive information from surveillance and unauthorized access, ensuring privacy for all participants. This creates a safer environment for individuals to share ideas, coordinate actions, and organize without fear of their data being exploited or misused.

Platforms:

*Signal

*CryptPad
