re: Are there any brands/places that you truly boycott because of what they advertise or sell?

Starbucks 7+ years

AB.-A few months but will never buy anything from them again.

Walmart 12+ years

Dicks Sporting Goods - 4+ years

NBA, NFL both about 4 years. Don’t watch them and don’t go to games. Our company had Texans season tickets for 8 years. Wife and I had Rockets season tickets for 10 years in club section. Canceled both with the kneeling and BLM bullshite

Once I flip a switch I fricking mean it.

If I boycotted every company that does something immoral or I don't agree with, I'd be amish.

You don't remember all the George Floyd, blm, not standing for the anthem stuff?

Ben and Jerry
Bud Light (though this is easy since I rarely bought any)
I guess Target now? This is more of a wife thing
Patagonia - Used to do a lot of Patagonia but zapped it a couple of years ago
Dick's Sporting Goods

I'm not going to pretend I make these "boycotts" a priority, but they're all either easy enough (BL, BJ) or I've just purged them out over time and now it's kind of a habit to look for alternatives. No sense funding entities that have pretty much declared war on folks like us.

I try to avoid buying any thing that isn't made in America.

Progressive ins
Target. The bathroom issue was enough
North face and Patagonia- expensive anyway.
Bud light- don't drink it anyway so not a huge thing
Starbucks- The OG woke
California pisses me off the most because it is a great place to visit

Burger King because the smell can draw me in but the results suck 99% of the time

I dont advertise it, I just take my funds elsewhere.

The NBA is probably the least woke of all the big leagues post-2020 yet msb posters are still convinced they’re inside the bubble

This is surprisingly accurate

I had quit watching the NBA before 2020, so I didn’t include them.

MLB is most woke and worst of all. And its since 2020.

Its the one thing that I was really a fan of that I now 100% boycott and will never support again.

Pretty much 75% of brands. One unpatriotic deed and I’m out. Finding socks was the most difficult thing to replace.

I’m under no illusion it actually makes a difference, but it makes me feel better not to patronize...

That's where I am. I'm not part of any organized boycott, I don't have a list of brands that I refuse to do business with... but there are a lot of brands who have made it clear to me that they don't want my business, and I'm happy to oblige them.
