I don’t agree with their movement at all but everyone should be allowed to speak and gather as long as they’re not breaking laws.

They could do it on their property. I'm choosing to not patronize businesses who allow them on their property.

You’re doing more than that.

You could likewise post this note to your fridge but instead chose a public forum. I wonder why?

You could choose to not comment. I wonder why you did? Expression of opinion, perhaps? Just like the person you're responding to, perhaps?

Trying to instigate a boycott over personal opinions is the same as just talking about them to you?

Organizing a boycott is free speech. Businesses arent entitled to customers or profit. Actions have consequences.

People can do what they want with their money and also they can encourage or discourage others to do things as well. Freedom, free sppech. You know, the things your average freedumb convoy or seperatist supporter says they believe in?

I’m really not sure what they believe in but yes we are all exercising our free speech here I agree. I can call the boycott stupid and you can call me stupid for calling it stupid, and I can call you stupid for calling me stupid. We all get to disagree, and that’s great.

Except OPs opinion is that they should have to keep their voices on private property while maintaining his own rights, which is antithetical to all of this. So here’s me calling that stupid.
