Conservatives need to refine our boycott process. Most people won’t stop buying things for long term. The way to get attention is to do short term absolute boycotts. For example kohls stops selling my pillow. We get all offended but do we really do anything? Some stop going to Kohl’s (I have not set foot in one since they removed my pillow and won’t ever again), but most maybe stop for a while. What has to happen is there needs to be an organized 1 or 2 week complete stoppage. 2 weeks of sales dropping by half might get someone’s attention. Years ago sailors were mistreated in norfolk, va. The navy paid everyone in $2 bills. When the merchants saw how many of those bills came through their cash registers things changed. That was, to my understanding only a single payday. It’s easy for stores to cancel when it doesn’t affect their bottom line. Just two weeks of a 50% reduction in sales might stop some of this.

The reason ‘boycotts’ with the Left work, and ‘boycotts’ on our side do not work is how they are effected.
When I lived in California (a while ago now), Koreans owned a lot of liquor stores in black communities. Often they would be robbed, but once in while they’d fight back and kill a Trevon type.
So the blacks would ‘boycott’ that store. Now when we hear the word ‘boycott’, we see it as nicely telling people who live close by to shop elsewhere, and maybe, after a long time, the store would go out of business and change ownership.
Then one of the TV news shows there did a report on one of the ‘boycotts’, and it was a bit more than ‘friendly persuasion’. You had ENFORCERS of the ‘boycott’ outside the doors of the store, making sure that no one was allowed in. It wasn’t a ‘boycott’, even though the TV station kept calling it such, it was a BLOCKADE. The people doing the blockading said just that: “We’re here to enforce the boycott”
So, for today, when the left ‘boycotts’ businesses that they don’t like, they already know that, in most cases, the businesses won’t even notice a hit in sales. They are not dumb...we are, to think that voluntary boycotts have any effect (except in very rare cases).
So the Left ENFORCES their ‘boycotts’ of large companies by using bots to scare them into thinking that huge losses await them if they ‘behave’ correctly, and they make sure that upper management knows that they and their families are being monitored and my be pulled-in, personally, if action is not taken that suits them.
And that’s why the Left has success in ‘boycotts’, while our side is laughed off - we play by the ‘old rules’, they don’t.
