    There’s a recently closed McDonald near my house that I usually cut through the parking lot to get to the streets behind where I live, there was a dad and little kid passing me in the parking lot and the kid said “Look! They closed the McDonalds!” And the dad said “Wanna know why? Cause the food sucks!”

    It was cute

    It started out the other way around. Corporations used current events as marketing content, political stances as aesthetic complements to brand identity. Now that the association has set in, they are expected to have stances regardless of whether they would prefer to stay quiet.

    Maybe it’s that, or maybe it’s because the price of your main menu items nearly doubled in the last two years and you are hitting the declining end of the price-demand curve. Gosh, if only business wasn’t so hard.

      The boycott stuff does work when it hits a critical level. It’s also a great way to do political education.

      It also depends on who you’re working with. Small-scale random boycotts in the West tend to fail because they are individualist slacktivisim. A coordinated organized boycott campaign can do much more, especially if you use or build a decent audience.

      Well, someone more educated than me Can probably chime in on what it does for Gaza, but I know from my own selfish perspective that watching CEO’s whine about decreased profits is really funny
