So there are males taking a position. My inbox is filled with people reminding me of the Dropkick Murphys&#8217; action, so I wanted to point it out.<\/p>\n<p>But while I have your attention, I also want to point out that the essence of Chappell Roan&#8217;s action here is money. That&#8217;s what effects change. To say this or that, to take a position is one thing, it&#8217;s quite different to affect someone&#8217;s pocketbook.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming you want to have an effect on Trump and his administration\/actions, the only effort that will truly have an effect is financial.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Galloway has gone on record about this numerous times. He has said that you only have to reduce the GDP by a tiny amount before it affects markets and Trump reacts.<\/p>\n<p>Galloway has started a new movement, or at least is attempting to do so, entitled &#8220;Resist and Unsubscribe,&#8221; you can check it out here:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.resistandunsubscribe.com<\/p>\n<p>But as famous as Galloway is, as much of a dent as he has in the public consciousness, it&#8217;s a fraction of that of a successful musician.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, no single musician has universal mindshare, unlike in the pre-internet era. Therefore, it takes more than one, a movement, to have an effect.<\/p>\n<p>The country runs on personal spending. Sans consumerism, the economy collapses. But we keep being told it&#8217;s the billionaires, the titans who make the world go round and we should pay fealty to them.<\/p>\n<p>It takes one to know one. Galloway understands the game, ergo this Resist and Unsubscribe movement. Galloway explains his thinking here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"D2BKCvKDq4\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.profgalloway.com\/resist-and-unsubscribe\/\">Resist and Unsubscribe<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Resist and Unsubscribe&#8221; &#8212; No Mercy \/ No Malice\" src=\"https:\/\/www.profgalloway.com\/resist-and-unsubscribe\/embed\/#?secret=qHapLgLQJQ#?secret=D2BKCvKDq4\" data-secret=\"D2BKCvKDq4\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I am not optimistic that this Resist and Unsubscribe movement will gain enough traction to make a difference, if for no other reason than most people are unaware of it. But this is a blueprint. And this is what is going to effect change, something monetary, that affects the players who have the power to make change.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I want to acknowledge that the Dropkick Murphys parted ways with Wasserman last week.
