    Well if your only form of action is consumer activism I’m not surprised you’re pessimistic. That’s literally never worked ever.

      I disagree boycotts are absolutely effective. Montgomery bus boycott. Even the starbucks boycott going on right now. If you hurt a companys source of income they tend to act pretty quickly.and it doesnt just apply to consumerism it applys to celebrities and politicians through cancelling and or not voting.

        I didn’t say boycotts are worthless.

        I said if your only form of action is a boycott its never going to work. Every effective boycott was accompanied by mass demonstration, public agitation, and organizing. Sometimes vandalism and even violence.
