Four in five Canadians believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour.
And it only took five days worth of it to get Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.
It doesn’t really meet the bare minimum of action despite being a step in the right direction.
See above.
Returning to a neutral position from supporting something materially isn’t applying pressure without political organization to receive it and direct it.
Basically false. See above.
Maybe shop your Boycotting Doesn’t Work bullshit elsewhere?
Yes. I asked what effect getting Kimmel back on air has. I don’t know if you’re familiar with him, but he is actually a talk show host. Not every public figure has political power. You sound like the conservatives who think they saved Bud Light and Cracker Barrel from the scheming woke. It’s embarrassing. I already forgot who Kimmel even was after that incident until you reminded me.
I’m not the one peddling futility, you’re the one claiming we ought to be satisfied with boycotts. I suppose we can wait a few years, double back, and see who was right. Are you game? I can set gloating that I was right as a reminder in OrgMode five years from today.

So you’ve decided to be condescending. Let’s see how that works out for you.
Not every public figure has political power.
And sometimes, that public figure gets treated unjustly, which causes a firestorm, which elevates the power and influence of said public figure. As in the case of Jimmy Kimmel.

You sound like a typical lemmy.ml user. This makes it impossible for you to sound compelling or thought provoking. As such, I floss my ass crack with your assessment.

There, you’re all caught up.

Why? You’re from lemmy.ml, where reality doesn’t matter, and goalposts are always moving.
What has the “firestorm” that Jimmy Kimmel ignited resulted in? What do you consider the main issue at stake? Is it fascism? Or is it what’s on your little screen? Seriously, what has this “firestorm” accomplished, and for who?

One of two things are true:
You don’t grasp the concept that pushback against fascism matters, and that every bit of pushback matters. Which means you’re a fucking idiot.
Or
This is goal directed behavior, designed to undermine. You know, the lemmy.ml shtick.

His comments reek of a second year polisci student at Queens.
Compelling stuff. So what are you expecting Kimmel to do? What follows from that?
Your claim was that boycotts are ineffective, which i easily refuted with the Kimmel example.
Confidence. If getting Jimmy back on the air only took five days of angry protest, what else should we protest?
So much for the futility that you’re trying to peddle.
And how many other shows have been shut down since the Kimmel return? Zero.

This is what your little Sephiroth speeches about the Mordor Instances sound like outside of your patchy noggin btw
Definitely send that link to someone who gives a fuck.

This is you at your best. So there’s that, I guess?

What pushback against fascism did the firestorm that Jimmy Kimmel ignited generate?
