The Target thing wasn’t a boycott, the merch got moved or pulled because a group of people were using the threat of violence and other intimidation tactics to achieve political goals.

Always has been, we just got fooled that “tradition” meant “act in the rules of engagement and civility” instead of what it is: “Ooga ooga, I bonk, head empty” like they’re finally showing.
