@nytopinion: These days, there seems to be less visible political protest, especially on the left. “The most successful political, economic boycott I’ve ever seen is the right’s boycotting of Bud Light over partnering with Dylan Mulvaney,” Brock Colyar, a writer for New York magazine, says on “The Opinions.” So why are large-scale boycotts so difficult to sustain? One answer may be that everyday life is built around convenience. We may want to boycott corporations like Amazon, but when Amazon is often the easiest and most affordable place to buy something as basic as toothpaste, opting out can feel nearly impossible, Colyar argues. Together with Tressie McMillan Cottom and Nadja Spiegelman, they explore why political action feels harder to sustain today — and how nihilism may be part of the reason. #theopinions #nytopinion
