    one comment that came up in the context of yet another of the Blizzard scandals – “You, as an individual, boycotting Blizzard will have no noticeable effect on their bottom line, BUT it will have far more of an effect on your ability to live with yourself.”

        People doing something SHOULD feel good, because they are trying, even if it fails, if that’s a ‘cope’ than whatever. Would you rather the world burn and everyone still be a dick?

          i think we should organize better to have actual impact as a group.

          we are many and they are a few, the idiots in the middle can always be swayed to the side of truth.

            I didn’t say they should do things because they feel good, but it’s natural to feel good if you’ve done something that helps others. My mom drilled it in my head well, that we do what’s right because it’s the right thing to do, not for any reward even praise or celebrity or whatever.
