There's consumer goods ... and there's consumer goods laced with racism and discrimination. We have a choice. Buying and selling isn't going away, it's going somewhere else. Personally, I want that to be more local, more justice-oriented, more inclusive, and more respectful.

who makes and initiates these boycotts?

They just appear one day no social media and you... just do it?

I don't do boycotts but I bet they can be traced back to defying Trump in some way.

Well frankly, it's hard for me to see how its harmful to boycott some of these megacorporations for a day. Many of us have been campaign for this since the demise of brick-n-mortal bookstores, the rise of megacorporations, and the collapse of main street.

Aren't we just shooting ourselves in the foot tho?
Why boycotts?

What? Whose foot are we talking about here? Is your foot Jeff Bezos' foot? Or the CEO of Target's foot? My foot isn't.

We are a capitalistic country. We exist because we buy and sell at an alarming rate.
