Discussion What’s the point in Boycotting?

It seems like everyone forgot about standing against major corporations that eliminate DEl and supporting small businesses-only to turn around and go back a few days later for something like cheaper cake. What's the point of starting a movement if everyone abandons it so quickly?

Ok but that last one is real. I'm so fucking poor. I don't shop at target or Walmart anyway but I am going to go to Kroger and get my shampoo because I can't afford anymore than I'm already paying. I have no money.

Krogers in my area are union. I’ll always support union grocery stores over non-union ones like target and Walmart.
