    That’s not entirely true. I boycott places I don’t agree with all of the time. Be it religious views that affect policy, political views, or a range of others things, there’s almost always an alternative that I’d rather give my money to.

    Is it a boycott if it’s just me participating?

      No, it isn’t just you. “Cancel Culture” is another of those pejoritive terms the right is so fond of. Making decisions about where to spend your money based on the behavior of the companies is a one of the few ways we have to influence corporations (and politicians).

      The extreme right seems to have given up o boycotts and moved on to direct physical attacks as their preferred methods of influence.
