are boycotts the least effective form of political action
like at least posting on social media might get some other people active about a particular issue
the temporary nature of boycotts seem almost baked into the action now
two weeks later most people are buying starbucks et al again
Completely agree. It was effective when economies were local with less inequality but not now in a global economy in which whoever you’re boycotting either has fuck you money or can just start a GoFundMe.
I think I posted about this awhile back and it was a controversial take.
