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?

No, this is just ✨dropshipping cake✨. We can boycott places like Walmart or Target who don’t give a shit about diversity, and then ALSO be mad that a baker is jazzing up a $7 Walmart cake with some extra frosting to sell it for $100. Besides being ripped off, you’re now indirectly supporting Walmart with extra steps. You can put your money where you want, but most people don’t have the money to spend $100 on cake. Has nothing to do with not wanting to support small business.
