      That was really important. It gave an obvious exit strategy to both sides

      So the bus company could say "Fuck it, we're conceding this one thing" without unconditional surrender

      And, importantly, so the boycotters had a finish line in view

      If MLK had asked people to undergo tremendous personal hardship "until systemic racism is over" most of them wouldn't have even started

      So the typical boycott on the Internet is the opposite of that boycott in all these ways

      They're generally boycotts of discretionary purchases, where they expect customers to come and go as tastes change anyway

      They're stated as a way to just generally express disapproval as opposed to having a specific goal

      They're aimed at large and very well known brands with deep pockets that know how to hedge their bets

      And they're not organized in the meaningful sense

      A strike works bc it's organized. Telling people "Hey, if you work for this bad company, QUIT" does not work

      None of this is to say that you shouldn't say you dislike a company and you're not buying from them anymore bc X, Y and Z

          But that's not a boycott, just like "I quit working at this place bc X, Y and Z" is not a strike

          It's unlikely to have any effect on the company's decisions. Which isn't a reason not to do it, as long as that wasn't your reason TO do it
