re: #656 Gus

I don’t even think there’s hypocrisy about boycotts. As a general concept, they’re a good thing. I disagree with some of them and think they’re fail, like the one against JC Penney over Ellen, or the Archie comics one over a gay character, but I don’t think the boycotts themselves are bad.

We apply financial pressure on others all the time in an official capacity. Hello, Cuban embargo. What’s the difference if some private citizens want to have a boycott? It’s clearly part of our political toolbox.
