Re : Twitter Boycott.
Let's be realistic. It won't even be a blip on their stats.
It will be lost in the noise of day-to-day variation.
It's like when the religious right get upset about something and post to social media "If every Christian boycotts [company] we'll show them we matter!!!1".
Don't you roll you eyes at those wingnuts? At how by shaking their fist impotently at a giant, they've proved their own desperation more than anything else?
How is this different?
@apLundell sometimes it isn't about being different. For some people the act of doing something at all helps bring people together that might not have previously. Sometimes it's a galvanizing event that leads toward another outcome. We can't rightly predict what all the possible repercussions could be, or if they have any value at all.
Even if it leads nowhere, I'll laud the desire to try.
@Rasgueado
I guess I don't understand what you mean by "it isn't about being different".
I described a common thing that's ineffectual and sad, and asked out this was different from that.
@apLundell I took your meaning as comparing the action itself (when you said it was similar when christian groups boycott something).
My meaning than, the action itself doesn't need to be different. The application of value to the outcome of the event is yours... I can't comment on that.
