Oh look, it's a bunch of "mad" witches 🧙♀️ who think they can cast a spell on Murdoch's empire with hashtags and #boycotts. Apparently, they've been "calling out" media bias for a decade—because nothing says "effective activism" like angry tweets and overpriced merchandise. 🧹😂

Options, Diminishing
This week, after several weeks of disturbing and difficult weeks, I saw a brand-new call to boycott another option for getting books out to readers. Calling for a boycott on Amazon is nothing new, but this latest call was to boycott Barnes & Noble. I read the article in question and I'm left wondering if all of the places that are out there are boycotted, what exactly is left? There's also the mess-that-is the Granta-Commonwealth Short Story Prize-AI controversy. Offering no comment about […]https://telinartho.wordpress.com/2026/05/22/options-diminishing/

If we don’t start taking a stand against the #oligarchs Oracle, Cisco, Amazon, Meta, Google, You Tube, Tik Tok, CBS etc. we are doomed to #fascism. #uspol #boycotts work but only if you work them. And it seems that Americans today are more concerned with being self-absorbed and loving their social media and obsessive on line ordering more than they are in saving liberty. A woman at a softball game the other day so excited that she could put in an order to Amazon at 2 AM and have it by 4 AM Why?

I think what is often misunderstood about boycotts is that it's not about personal virtue or needing to avoid everything unethical. It's about doing strategic damage to the worst bad actors. An effective boycott that manages to financially damage an especially big and bad bad actor also sends a message to the others that they could be next. Boycotts need to be limited to something that is discretionary or has alternatives for a large number of people. It's also fair to say that not all avoidance is a boycott.
For example, I have avoided the Amazon store for so long that I don't think that I could really be counted as someone boycotting Amazon, even though I avoid them primarily for ethical reasons. At the same time, I do think that a permanent boycott can make sense in certain scenarios. One reason why I don't think my Amazon avoidance counts as a boycott is that I have such a laundry list of issues with them that even if they addressed one issue I can't see myself returning to them unless I literally had no other choice.
In contrast boycotts are focused on one issue. So it does make sense to permanently boycott a company if, due to the nature of the company, they are never going to stop the unethical behavior being boycotted. In order to boycott a company, a person does have to at least need or want a service that company provides, though. Either the person stops buying from the company, or if they haven't bought from it before, actively and consciously avoids it in favor of alternatives when the occasion arises that they have a need that company could fulfill. If you've never bought anything from Widgets Inc because they have nothing to sell that you need or want, then you are not boycotting them even if you also have ethical issues with them. In contrast, if someone who has never bought from Widgets decides to avoid them for a specific reason and then avoids future purchases from them to instead purchase the same or similar kind of widgets from Alternative Widget Co, then that person can be said to be boycotting Widgets Inc.
A lot of boycotts are temporary, though. In this case, the goal is simply to make the company stop the targeted behavior, not to make them 'good'.
Boycotts are one tool in political activism that can be effective if used properly. But to do that, we have to understand how to use them and what purposes they are meant to achieve. -

"Boycott over Target's diversity pullback ends, activists say
Leaders of a high-profile boycott against Target announced Wednesday they are ending the yearlong protest sparked by the retailer's decision to scale back some diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
(. . .)
Why it matters: Leaders highlighting the boycott's success pointed to Target's pledge to fulfill its 2021 commitment to invest $2 billion in Black-owned businesses, more than doubling the number of Black-owned brands on its shelves.
• Target said no policies were reversed or reinstated as a result of conversations with its leadership and described the $2 billion pledge as the completion of an existing commitment.
• The moment gives Target an opening to frame the episode as a reputational reset under new CEO Michael Fiddelke, who met with boycott leaders in recent months.The intrigue: The protest 'has been unhelpful to Target' and likely had some impact but wasn't the retailer's core problem, Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData, told Axios."

MADEIN -- Nagomi
After a good deal of internal debate, I decided not to post MADEIN -- Super Obvious.
Although the song interests me for various reasons, I was mindful of the boycott a group of fans have announced following former member Gaeun telling of her being sexually assaulted by a senior executive at the agency.
The boycott seems to have been largely ineffectual, as the group seems to be getting decent figures on Spotify and YouTube. I don't know about their album sales, but I do know that they have a sizeable Japanese following who seem either unaware or just heedless of the calls for boycott.
I did think about posting a music show stage which maybe half a dozen people would watch and balanced the pleasure that post might provide me and one or two people here against the surely negligible benefit the post would provide for the bad actor at the agency.
But then I interrupted these utilitarian calculations by imagining what it would be like if Gaeun were sitting here with me. Wouldn't she feel hurt and betrayed if I pressed the post button?
So eventually I have decided not to post the video, but still feel frustrated all the same.
In addition, another part of me is thinking that my spending time and energy agonizing over a Kpop post on Mastodon is remiss in itself when I have all sorts of other and surely more important obligations to meet.
On the other hand....
The pictured member Nagomi was born in London. She left the city when she was three, but I think might still have family connections there. She admires Eunha, so that's a thumbs up from me, and she deserves another for looking so pretty here with her blonde bob.
