    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.

      What follows from that?

      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.

        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.
