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?

    For me it’s a graph where Y is the likelihood that I will boycott and X how easy/convenient it is to find a replacement inversely related to how terrible said company is.

    So the worse a company, the harder I will work to find a replacement.

        It’s sooo challenging, but I try. Buycott helped for awhile, but I haven’t redownloaded since I got a new phone. We typically try to stick to best choice equivalent brands, but I do check the packaging to see if whatever brand is under Nestle.

        The hardest part is convincing my SO to stop eating Stouffer’s.
