I feel overwhelmed by boycotts
Things like veganism and so on are also technically boycott movements.
I just feel overwhelmed by it because it's rare that someone boycotts and you'd just keep seeing people around you as inhumane and it's not simple to know for sure what companies to boycott and it's a moral dilemma whether to be vegan or not and it's just overall hard in today's society.
It's almost all about pleasure tho so i don't know how to defend people who don't boycott and I myself don't boycott.
It just feels like a complex moral and political stance that is easily overwhelming but if I don't stand against it then what's the difference between me and someone who used slaves during slavery.
It's like the saying that goes like "My guilt will not purify me"
it's just overwhelming me so badly because it's so hard to do and it's not at all normalized and it's like a contract you're signing for the rest of your life and there's almost no real support and even a lot of unfair hate and it just makes you feel like you're the odd one out even if you're in the right
its just that politics are forced upon everyone and it makes everything so overwhelming and humans were just meant to survive but nowadays everyone is forced on politics whether they're participating or not and we've been so used to comfort that it became so hard to give it up.
like you can't possibly tell me that giving up tasty food should be that hard and it makes me hate myself for being blinded by pleasure like that
and again, the fact that there's almost no support
also because some boycotts like veganism will almost certainly not show any results in your life time but in the coming centuries and might even show no results at all
I'm 16 and I'm currently going through a hard time and existential dread and so on but it's still a topic that must be discussed.
