... Are we supposed to know what that means?
The way you're using it, it sounds like a pejorative... Which puts something of a spin on your particular pedantry here.
> there really isn't an obligation to support a boycott
I think the Irish - who invented the term - would disagree with you on that point.
Not every boycott is worth supporting, sure. But if a boycott is worth supporting (say, divesting from genocide supporters) then yes there's a bit of an obligation there.
- paperplatter 2y agoProbably means someone who thinks there's a moral obligation to follow a union-requested boycott.
- tptacek 2y agoHe's in a union and pays attention to this stuff. That's all it meant.
