Small-Scale Question Sunday for November 13, 2022

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

What do you think it would take for a boycott of ADL and all affiliates? Hearing that the ADL is pressuring twitter advertisers, can’t you just boycott any and all ADL donators, backers, all related organizations, and so on?

You can try, but the best organized right wing boycott of that sort to date is of planned parenthood, and it has failed pretty badly.

In general boycotts work best when they’re directed against a single target, and even then it’s dicey. Boycotts against planned parenthood, the ADL, election denying politicians, whatever won’t work because it entails boycotting 2,000 things that are indirectly connected.
