Boycotting is a PRIVILEGE

I think just like everything else in this world, its not just black or white, there's a bunch of nuance. For example for me, I shop at walmart even thought it is a boycott target because I dont have anywhere else that is both cheap and nearby. I think throwing eggs at people is a bit much, and I would say the majority of people that do advocate for these boycotts/participate aren't throwing eggs or anything, it is just a very vocal majority. I know many a people that are understanding of situations like this. Boycotts is effective and there are reasons why we do this and try to convince other people to not shop at specific places, but if anything another big push is to just educate people on why the company is being targeted (no pun intended) in the first place. Then at least you'll be informed of the "truth" and not just the "company propaganda" even if you still shop there. We are all on the same side here, compared to rich people lol :3

I mostly agree with you, but I would like to point out that being poor itself isn't a very valid excuse to support fast fashion unless you live in a rural area where there are literally no thrift stores anywhere near you, don't have anyone who can give you some hand me downs, and you have no means of ordering reasonably priced secondhand clothing from websites like eBay. 

Unless it's something like underwear, if you have any money to spend on clothing, you can usually find a way to spend it on something secondhand even if you are broke (thrift stores were originally meant to serve and help out the poor and struggling, you know).

And then there's also the option to upcycle and DIY your clothing by using things you may already have at home.

It's 2025, almost 2026, and there are luckily some alternatives to fast fashion for people of all income levels. You can't do a SHEIN haul and try to "justify" it just because you're poor.
