I’m not saying we should boycott every corporation. I’m saying it’s a fool’s errand because there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
And we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. A poke with a stick isn’t good but it’s sure as shit better then a pistol whipping.
We're not trying to boycott EVERY corporations. We're voting with our wallets for the lesser evil the same way we vote at the ballots for the lesser evil.
