Is there a such thing as a partial boycott, where you just use less of something or avoid some of a company's products but not others? Perhaps there's another word for it. Either way, this seems like it would be useful too (maybe even more so because it's more realistic for people to do).
- vinceguidry 13y agoHow could that possibly be effective?
- droidist2 13y agoWhy wouldn't it? What do you believe the goal of a boycott to be?
- vinceguidry 13y agoThe goal of any public pressure tactic is to force an organization to change its policy. Not to deny it revenue. If you're not doing the former, then all you're accomplishing with the latter is making yourself feel good about 'doing something'.
- droidist2 13y agoAnd how do you force it to change its policy simply by not buying its products? Why would a company, particularly a worldwide conglomerate, care whether you buy their products or not? Hint: You've already said it.
