True but this is a public forum :p maybe it was unnecessary on my part lol, no worries.

I don’t understand your animosity haha, I’m not offended, it just came off as a clunky way to communicate. I’m not the defeatist you were talking to, I’m incredibly optimistic. I agree that we should protest and boycott. The way you are communicating is like you’re trying to fight me, you don’t even know my position!

Not everyone here has to subscribe to your defeatist logical dumpster fire that you’ve so obviously eaten up. Taking action and speaking up works. Not sorry.

Like if someone started a polite conversation with you on the street this is how you would respond? I’m on your side, you can chill out.

Why do you say things like ‘goal posts’ and ‘strawman’ instead of actually talking like a conversation. From what I can tell the person you were responding to was talking about what made a difference, not what people care about. Many people care a lot about all the issues you mentioned but they were saying that the protests and boycotts didn’t directly make much of an impact against these companies or groups.
