@stabby_cicada its still collective action at the end of the day if you hope to have an impact.

I would suggest strategic boycotts can have an impact at times. Generally voting with your dollars is most useful when supporting local alternatives where your individual dollars really have a big impact.

The danger with individual responsibility campaigns is they tend to shift focus away from those with the real power (as has been stated here by others).

Take a look at the history of the Make America Beautiful campaign to see how corporations have intentionally pushed this narrative to shift focus off of them.
