    Online Activism 2016 Thread

    There's been some really great online activism this year. Worlds have changed at the drop of a hashtag. Millions of lives affected and brought to the cause at the click of a mouse... until the next one comes along and they forget about that guy we were all supposed to catch, or that bathroom we weren't supposed to pee in.

    Here's a guy who stepped it up a notch. No more online protest for this guy. He had enough and was taking his protest against his local grocer to the real world.

    Man Poops On Kroger U-Scan Machine

    $4.99 for organic peaches?!? I hear ya brother, this isn't fucking Whole Foods.

    Digitaldeath, take note. Your endless threads aren't going to make any meaningful change. Follow this guy's lead and take a dump on something.

    Post a TR here after your incarceration.

    The thought has crossed my mind. One store around here requires you enter/scan your shopper card before it will ring anything up. What if I don't have it motherfucker? Here, take this steamy turd as my ID!

    But if you don't put it in a bag it won't let you keep scanning things.

    Shit, that's true.

    Maybe online advocacy really is the way to go. Taking to the man has too many obstacles like you just described.

    If you get locked up, how are you going to sign online petitions, or tweet out supportive hashtags? Sometimes you just have to realize that the cause is bigger than we are.

    Hell with online advocacy, we need online proctology. Imagine a thumb sized probe that snaps onto your iPhone. Revolutionary.

    Maybe this is what the guy was going for when he popped a squat on the U-scanner?

    Should've stayed home and hashtagged against GMOs and corporate grocers.

    "he popped a squat on the U-scanner" would make a great chorus line for a death metal song...

    Remember the guy who got drunk and took a shit on the drink cart in an airplane?

    God I would've beat the shit that was left, out of him.

    That seems physically and logistically challenging on his part.

    I know we're dealing with some heavy shit today, but has everyone forgotten about #Harambe?

    Has Great Britain broken up and fallen into the North Sea yet? I haven't seen a quippy #---xit hashtag in over a week.

    Have we completely forgotten the great bathroom debate of 2016 already? #poopmatters

    I'm starting to worry that we're just jumping from cause to cause anymore.

    I wonder how much the poop came up as? Prolly cheaper than $4.99.

    Depends if he entered a 4 digit produce code or the more expensive 5 digit organic produce code. People have been known to cheat at the U-scan to save a few pennies.

    My faceplace feed is so jammed up with competing memes highlighting #blacklivesmatter vs #alllivesmatter that I'm just going to change my profile pic to Cecil the dead African Lion with a French flag filter to see if anyone gives a fuck anymore.

    From the Stranger last week. They've gone downhill lately but this guy's been a good addition.

    QFC = local chain that was bought by Kroger








    Well that's gone poorly.

    The last week has reminded me why I've avoided facebook for so long, but I have one friend doing rad trips in southern Utah and taking great pictures that he doesn't share anywhere else. I'm torn
