Thorny Defense Minimizes Shit

The picture of a steel-thorned drainpipe seems to say, ”I can’t prevent you from shitting on me, but I can prevent you from sitting on me—and thereby minimize the amount of shit I have to take from you.”

The Mexicans are in full-swing boycott mode against the provocation of their northern neighbor. US corporations will undoubtedly feel pain in their profits. Mexico will minimize the shit they have to take from the big bully above them. ¡Bravo! amigos.

The question is, why haven’t they boycotted the red-white-and-blue bullies earlier? Why haven’t we? Why don’t we put some pain in their profits and minimize the shit we have to take from them, as well as putting some thorns on our objections to how they treat the rest of the world?

Why do we drink their ”real thing” and other sodas when we can drink the water from our own mountains and lakes at a fraction of the cost, boost our health and relieve carbon stress on the environment? Do we have to eat their junk food and frequent their junk restaurants? What about their publications? Chemical laced cosmetics and detergents? Clothes glorifying American places and symbols?

And why don’t the Americans themselves, the ”resisters” and ”progressives”, boycott suitable/unnecessary products and services to inflict the pain of profit loss on corporate commanders?

Minimize the shit we have to take from the ”exceptional” bullies!
