    Ahh here it is the one trying to protect capital at all costs while discouraging one form of activism.

    You can’t break apart corporations by boycotting them. You break them up by intervening with the State when they’re too big to ignore.

    Are you really an anarchist when you’re asking for state intervention.

    You said Nestle? You think you can boycott Nestlé effectively? Do you have any idea how many different businesses that means? And do you honestly expect the average working person to care enough to try to learn them??

    Nice strawman there buddy. Keep yelling at the rooftops that opposing Nestle is pointless to protect their assets. There’s plenty of small independent companies you buy products from instead.

    …but everyone’s evil, more or less, and we’re all broke, so… yeah imma shop at Walmart if I got to.

    Are you really arguing the “all sides are equally bad” as Walmart the one who does balant unionbusting and seriously calling me the one who didn’t think much about the topic.

    Walmart is not the only cheap place (before they raise the prices after driving out the game in town) you can shop at farmer’s markets, ethnic stores, Aldi, Costco…
