I agree, and I certainly wasn't intending to discourage actively working for change. I put a great deal of effort towards effecting change in other ways. On the other hand, if people started thinking more about what they're actually supporting in their regular purchasing decisions and taking that into account, that also supports change, but in a more holistic way that just targeting a few companies for a boycott and ignoring the impact of supporting the companies that aren't being targeted. The truth about change is that there's no magic wand here. There's no single sort of action that is effective. It takes a broad effort from many different directions.
