People: we're boycotting Starbucks because of Palestine.
Someone else: it's not on the BDS list
A 3rd person: yeah but they are firing people because of Palestine. And union busting.
?????? Goalpost moved. I am tired.
#i think the problem is that basically all companies 1. doing something shitty#and 2. connected to each other#the bds list is achievable but if you start going outside of it for other shitty behaviour then youd have to boycott everything#its just boycotting starbucks and being mad at people for not boycotting starbucks became a Symbol#for whether you care about Palestine#in a way that wasnt really proportionate to their actual contection to israel#like- its fun to laugh at Dumb Libs who are going back on their starbucks boycott because Harris lost and telling everyone about it#on tiktok or wherever...this is apparently happening i havent seen it personally but will take peoples word for it#but its not BDS its just a visible Symbol of 'goodness'#and you know im not a fan of purity tests#going back to the all companies being shitty and connected thing- i just dont know that under late capitalism this type of boycott can work#ive said it before but when this concerns a prosperous capitalist country it basically turns into trying to boycott#the concept of capitalism - both unlikely to work and impossible#the boycott model is flawed here is what im saying#please please do your own personal boycott of starbucks! live your values! but resist the urge to judge others values#from whether or not they get a frappe or whatever#and people (apparently) tantruming over Harris losing is good for a libcringe laugh i suppose..yknow if youre into that#but its also weird seeing people like 'i don't miss frappes at all! caffeine causes cancer anyway!!' (?)#thats just as shallow! sorry.#eta i dont know if they are actually firing people because of their Palestine activism-if you have a source please send it#it may be real it may be baseless- homestly i hate all discussion about starbucks with relation to I/P so didnt check
