The Finnish parliament will no longer carry Pepsi products as the American soft drink giant continues to support the Russian economy by continuing its operations in the aggressor country, Finnish news outlet Yle reported on Sept. 5, citing the manager of the parliament’s restaurant.
It’s dumb because it’s pointless political theater. I mean how much Pepsi does the Finnish parliament actually drink?
In a boycott, it’s not the effect of one individual that matters it’s the collective effect of millions of people that can have an effect. To accomplish there needs to be awareness of the boycott.
Right now we’re discussing the boycott of Pepsi products, so they’ve successfully raised awareness. Which is the point of doing it.
Per your “argument”, every single individual and entity boycotting a corporation is dumb, yet when they add up to millions of single individuals and entitities doing it it’s not dumb.
Unless you have some magical way of getting millions of people and entities all over the World to all start doing something at the same time with full commitment, it’s always going to take individual people and entities boycotting things (something you think is dumb) to eventually add up to millions of them doing it (which is you don’t think is dumb anymore).
In other words, either you mentally live in Narnia or some similar La-La-Land of magical thinking, or your “argument” is senseless and is really just an excuse to do nothing.
There’s a conversation killer.
I’m pretty sure that was your first comment.
Kind of an ironic thing to say amidst the following discussion.
