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?

    Slave labor = boycott. Child labor = boycott. MAGA = boycott.

      I guess you cant use phones anymore. Apple, Samsung, and almost every manufacturer had reports of using underpaid minors in China/India/Vietnam.

        It’s difficult. But I try to avoid buying from companies that do this shit when I can, and I try to buy from companies that at least claim they are trying to do something about it.

          “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” is a valid strategy.

      I live in the south, and if a small business is pushing their religion or politics to their customers, that’s an instant no from me.
