Organizing, protesting, voting and voter registration drives, marketing and coms. Even starting a union owned business, or something similar. Those kinds of things make a difference. individual purchasing decisions don’t.

Many of those are much more difficult for most people to do, are of questionable benefit or they already do.
Refuse to give them money, it is the only language they understand.

If you play the “vote with your wallet” game, the biggest wallet wins.
Who’s wallet is bigger?

If I vote with my wallet and stop buying pizza. And I get my friends to do the same. And they get their friends to do the same. Then I don’t think it really matters the size of the wallet. Are billos suddenly going to start buying up all the pizza to make up for it? I doubt it.

Hey everyone. You want to change society? Just start a business. Easy peesy! Don’t make small changes in your life, make massive financial overhauls.

That was just one, of a few suggestions.
Obviously not everyone can start a business. Who will work at your business every everyone else started their own?
But yah, if you want to make big changes fast, you need to make big moves.
