Everyone here knows about people boycotting Chick-fil-a. They claim to have stopped donating to as many anti-LGBT groups somewhat recently but they could just lie about that, and that’s not exactly an improvement either way.

Then there’s Domino’s, which has a CEO that likes to donate to anti-abortion groups but I don’t know of any attempt to boycott them aside from just not liking their shitty pizza. Same thing with AT&T.

I just don’t know of any tangible results that have ever come from these kinds of things so I don’t really see much point in them.

It’s arguable that the boycott that worked for South Africa was the electoral boycott. 10% turnout > Western bourg selective hand-wringing about the policies of a democratically elected sovereign state.
