    More like, "Boycotts of institutions are fine, boycotts of individuals are nasty." I don't think Sully's position is so very out-there.

    But going back to the Orwell-meets-Nazi-jackboots line of thought, if this is a new mind-control thoughtcrime witch hunt McCarthyism, shouldn't we be seeing a lot more of this?

    Nobody seems to care, since it doesn't fit into their narratives, but this really does seem to be a particular situation, not easily replicated in life or business at large. There are always people calling for boycotts of various companies for this-that-or-the-other, but this situation seems to have been an outlier.
