  • Consumer activism, by itself, has rarely, if ever, accomplished anything.

    The best recent examble was Tesla, but that wasn’t a mere non-buying action. Tesla action involved vandalism and a massive word of mouth campaign.

    Basically if we want to fight for a future we believe in, we must stop playing patty cakes and fight like it’s a life and death struggle.

    Symbolic resistance is not enough.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still avoid buying Nestle products, and have for years, but I know this is not the way to real change.

    I want us to stop suggesting consumer activism as a valid pathway to change.
