Jedes Jahr, seit inzwischen 20 Jahren, ruft das Adbusters<\/strong> Magazine zum Buy Nothing Day<\/strong><\/a> auf, der traditionell am amerikanischen Thanksgiving-Wochenende (= heute und morgen) stattfindet, da dies der H\u00f6hepunkt des (vorweihnachtlichen) Shoppingwahns ist. Dieses Jahr wird, so die vollmundige Ank\u00fcndigung der Mannen um Kalle Lasn, der BND auf eine neue Stufe gehoben, da er in Verbindung mit der #occupy-Bewegung (ebenfalls mitinitiiert durch Adbusters) gebracht wird. Das Ergegbnis nennt sich OccupyXMas<\/strong><\/a> und steht unter dem sch\u00f6nen Motto \u201eAlles ist gut, kauft einfach weiter ein\u201c.<\/p>\n

Hey dreamers, occupiers, rabble-rousers,<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been sleeping on the streets for two months pleading peacefully for a new spirit in economics. And just as your camps are raided, your eyes pepper sprayed and your head\u2019s knocked in, another group of people are preparing to camp-out. Only these people aren\u2019t here to support occupy Wall Street, they\u2019re here to secure their spot in line for a Black Friday bargain at Super Target and Macy\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Occupy gave the world a new way of thinking about the fat cats and financial pirates on Wall Street. Now lets give them a new way of thinking about the holidays, about our own consumption habits. Lets\u2019 use the coming 20th annual Buy Nothing Day<\/strong> to launch an all-out offensive to unseat the corporate kings on the holiday throne.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Black Friday will be the first campaign of the holiday season where we set the tone for a new type of holiday culminating with #OCCUPYXMAS<\/a>. As the global protests of the 99% against corporate greed and casino capitalism continues, lets take the opportunity to hit the empire where it really hurts\u2026the wallet.<\/p>\n

On Nov 25\/26th<\/strong> we escape the mayhem and unease of the biggest shopping day in North America and put the breaks on rabid consumerism for 24 hours. Flash mobs, consumer fasts, mall sit-ins, community events, credit card-ups, whirly-marts and jams, jams, jams! We don\u2019t camp on the sidewalk for a reduced price tag on a flat screen TV or psycho-killer video game. Instead, we occupy the very paradigm that is fueling our eco, social and political decline.<\/p>\n

Historically, Buy Nothing Day<\/strong> has been about fasting from hyper consumerism \u2013 a break from the cash register and reflecting on how dependent we really are on conspicuous consumption. On this 20th anniversary of Buy Nothing Day, we take it to the next level, marrying it with the message of #occupy\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
