Convenient? Perhaps in that I also oppose such tactics by Trumpets and MAGA types.
-
I think my thread made clear I am not discussing this as a post-2016 development, so your response framing it as such completely ignores the ~reason~ why I think these concerns being raised now is notable. (Also: I don’t think MAGA has really been a boycott-focused movement.)
-
So you're suggesting my claims are in bad faith? I've had this view about secondary boycotts for a long time. (Also, MAGA types specialize in responding in kind, and then some)
-
No, not in bad faith. I just think they're missing important context that distinguishes the aims of and motivations behind such protest efforts.
-
I'm not questioning sincerity or good faith of many urging the tactic. I think the tactic is bad one that has bad consequences if replicated, and don't want "my side" doing it either.

There is much more to be said on this — and I know each individual has different reasoning behind their position — but that broad brush sums up my concerns with these topics.
-
Before, women, black people, other minorities, queer people, etc, were just kept out of the markets/discussions. Now that those groups are finding their way in, they’re — frontally and out in the open — fighting back to, in their view, correct earlier market/discourse errors.
-
Do efforts go too far/fight too aggressively at times? Probably. But it seems to me that these concerns often ignore the earlier efforts to keep out views — which were much more systemic and far-reaching, with longer-lasting effects, than many of the criticized efforts today.
