I dont know is the problem. For example I’m boycotting Nestle and i have been for years at this point. They’re the worst they dont think water is a human right etc. I tell everyone about it it when it comes up. But at the end of the day i dont think its doing anything to Nestle.
I support protesting however you can i guess, but I’m also very pessimistic about odds of success
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 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.

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

I didn’t say boycotts are worthless.

Fair enough I see your point
