Do you have any actually numbers if boycotts are increasing? People have been boycotting things forever and ever.

Anything the left boycotts doesnt seem to work. Chick-fil-a, NRA memberships and gun sales all went up. It like they werent even buying in the first place and the added exposure brought in more customers.

Like Change.org petitions, boycotts just provide an outlet for outrage

Chick fil a boycott was super effective and the company disengaged from like 90% of the vile stuff they were into. Like the owner guy is still poo poo I’m sure but they totally pulled out all their donations and company support of the homophobia stuff the owner had been pushing. Now the only “bad” donations they make is stuff that is ultra blandly Christian that everyone donates, like the Salvation Army. (That is very problematic but is just a normal thing people donate to apolitically at Christmas)

Then they made a private org to funnel money into so that the company wasnt directly funding it.

No, they actually stopped.

They still fund like, broadly christian groups and christianity is a curse upon the world or whatever so any generic support for any christian cause implicitly supports any evil it holds but they actually dropped out funding anti-marriage campaigns or anything directly related to it. Like they fund the salvation army, christian youth sports and christian children's abuse shelters and just by being christian affiliated you can find all sorts of problematic stuff, but like, meh? everyone donates to that stuff, even non christian companies donate to that stuff, they donate to very blandly normalized stuff now, not to political causes.
