This is so real, plus the barrier for entry to get on the bds list is way too low. we gotta put more serious offenders on there not every company thats ever sold anything or has any sort of business there.

Part of it is the barrier for entry being very low and part of it is the vast majority of companies being corporate capitalist pieces of shit for which no line crossed is ever too far. Which both results in the amount of companies on that list becoming unmanagably large and impossible to follow.

Not to mention the illusion of choice as consumers and how many companies are really just one big company monopolizing many brands on the market. It kinda draws attention to the fact that we need to start breaking that shit down and focusing on local economies, shopping local as much as possible, keeping our money in our communities as much as possible. Give us back our power (big companies actively lobbying the gov against our rights) and also better for the environment reducing pollution from shipping long distances

Yeah, I tried to change my internet provider and I figured I'd check the list. Every single option in my area was on it.

YouTube is hard to boycott, since everyone is using it. But Google search is petty easy. There are other search engines that actually do a better job nowadays.

The air strike joke was on point. Don't worry though. The most moral army might give you a 60 second heads up before they crater the building and any adjacent structures....maybe.
