I get the impression that people no longer understand what it is to boycott something. The whole point is to punish the boycottee which may cause inconvenience. Much easier to dogpile on twitter I suppose. I can’t really think of a universally sustained boycott since South African apartheid to be honest. Even the current Russian stuff is too inconvenient for the majority of the world so they keep buying their oil and gas.
