We waited trump to do it and many will go back buying American product once Trump end . We did it because he threatened us and not because human right abuses was committed by the USA
Quibbling over why it wasn’t “good enough” doesn’t support your criticisms of other boycotts anymore than “but what about other countries?!” does. If that’s your metric, no boycott or action against countries/companies will ever measure up. So really what you’re arguing for here is complete inaction, which won’t make anything better at all.
I don’t shame people who don’t boycott certain countries, even if I believe everybody should. I am consistent. It is you who are not. Both Saudi Arabia and the US were involved in very serious human rights abuses, but you would never say to someone who didn’t boycott the USA, “Why aren’t you?”
Here we go with the purity test BS. I welcome anybody who want to boycott any problematic country and respect those person it but I don’t shame people who do not boycott. Do you think that you never bought an product from companies in problematic countries who are doing human right abuses?

If you don’t want to be called out for it, maybe don’t do it in the very same comment, yeah?
Also,

So what? The US also did a lot of terrible things to other countries and we never boycott it
So which is it? People can boycott what they want? Or are they “hypocrites” for boycotting in ways you disagree with? For someone so concerned with “consistency”, you are all over the place.
And I’ll ask again, how is your condemnation of the boycotts beneficial to anyone being harmed?

“What about”. Groundbreaking.
Don’t you mean double standard?
Maybe that’s part of the problem, eh? Also, maybe skim a newspaper once in a while.

Talking about double standard is not whataboutism
Your “consistency” is bullshit purity testing.
Please, enlighten me on how your claims benefit anybody other than those profiting from suffering? What tangible action are you promoting here?
