      How do you outlaw a boycott? It’s not an act, it’s a non-act. An absence of a purchase. How do you distinguish boycott from just not buying something you don’t want or need like any other item. Are we going to be required to put so much of our purchases toward Isreal now?

        Ding ding ding.

        This is how they “lawfully” throw “dissidents” into the gulag.

        Remember…most of what Hitler did was technically legal and above-board. Because they controlled the laws and shaped them as they saw fit.

        You outlaw a boycott by using violence against those who promote the boycott. It’s not even anything new. Many states have already been doing this. Not to mention recent disappearances of anti-genocide activists.

        Violence in service of hegemony is almost the entire purpose of the state.

        the state wants to lock you up, figures out you don’t drink coca cola, You’re on trial for not buying Coca-Cola, or Nestle, or never tried Sabras hummus… straight to jail.

        Back in the days the Spanish Inquisition would become suspicious of people who seemed to not eat pork.

        In other words, yes, precisely, they’re trying to sus out heretics. Don’t want to be mistaken for one? Perform the rites publicly, then.

        Twitter sued advertisers who said they were boycotting it, and it worked somehow…
