(460 posts)I love the idea of boycotts and strikes. So much better than violence, though strikers are frequently attacked. But I think it's the unifying of effort and targeting to make them effective that's problematic. Many large businesses are falling in line with the fascist agenda, and I don't think boycotts can hurt enough of them enough to make a difference without a huge public movement that we just don't have. Yet. Maybe it will come. International companies would be an even bigger challenge, because if we aren't the biggest customer boycotts won't be as effective.
Also, in some cases we're already avoiding those businesses as much as possible. There's not much different people like I can do. Like the Hobby Lobby I won't go into and haven't for years, because they're lgbtq hating monsters who funded hate legislation in Uganda. Never getting my business again.
Those are the problems I see, as a person with average understanding that I am.
