What I’m saying is, in society, the corporations often do something that you just hate.
Ranging from anti consumer practices, data tracking, all the way to supporting a political candidate you dislike or even in extreme cases, going full nazi. So theres a wide spectrum of “evil” that corporations do, where along that line do you say “nope, I’m out” and boycott? I mean, we can’t boycott for every minor transgression, or every thing its CEO says, because there are only like a few companies out there, so if you are too restrictive in drawing that line, you would be essentially cutting yourself off of the capitalist society, and have to grow food by yourself. So when do you boycott?
Depends how easy it is to avoid using. When there are lots of choices it’s easy to switch. Hard to boycott the website that handles half of all retail in the USA.
Small things like the CEO performing a nazi salute, and others not getting mad at that.
How can you boycott a company when you already bought their product six years ago and weren’t planning on replacing it any time soon? Asking for a friend…
The unrealistic option: Sell the car, buy another brand. This slightly reduces demand. (I don’t think it is reasonable to expect people to do this)
More realistic options: Slap a sticker on your car: “I bought this car before I knew he was a nazi”
Leave a bad review, at the app store and other places you can.
When it would create unnecessary waste. Like, oh I bought product X, but 2 weeks later company X has revealed they did something aweful. I won‘t throw it away, just use it until it breaks and the move on to someone different.
