    But that’s precisely why you start out with actions that put your movement in the spotlight, like going on protests or similar forms of agitation.

    Not going to the store for a day is hardly going to make anyone care (as it’s literally based on absence rather than presence), especially the shops who this type of boycott is supposed to harm. People still need food, basic necessities and tools and can’t live without them, so this would result in people buying more some other day to compensate.

      I was being sarcastic. Edited my message. Of course change is slow. IMO it’s idiotic to expect large changes without doing a fucking thing for it. “I’ll just twiddle my thumbs and live life as always, surely something will change”.
