Whoever boycotts coffee from Starbucks yet does not boycott fiat is lying to themselves … just saying

A hyperbole with a false equivalence.

One is a product, the other is one company making a product. people boycotting starbucks are not boycotting coffee.

also boycotting fiat is considerably more difficult than boycotting a private company.

Starbucks

Product => coffee

Banks

Product => fiat in the form of credit

Is it difficult? Yes. But is it a condition to boycott something that it’s “easy” to do? If that’s the case, then where’s the “struggle for the greater cause?”

your original note does not talk about a particular bank (e.g., Chase). that would make it a true equivalance.

I agree with the sentiment. that Fiat is indeed problematic and should be replaced.

My bad. But that was my intent.
