    Such a facepalming concept, how the hell can boycots be illegal.

    Maybe breaking a contract can be illegal, obviously sit ins, and vandalism can be illegal. But no sane person can call not buying something illegal.

    Hell isn’t that exactly what the capitalist class is supposedly claiming is the one thing that’s supposed to guide the free market. IE we don’t need regulations, companies wont drop toxic waste in your water, because that would discourage you from buying their products.

      It seemt to me this flows from Musk declaring that advertisers leaving Shxitter was illegal after he said fuck you to them and that he didn’t need them. It’s the most childish, entitled behavior possible. Think of it like a 4 year old temper tantrum and it all start to make sense.
