That wasn't already happening? WTF
A call to boycott doesn't mean no one was boycotting before. It's providing solidarity and reinforcing, for those that might feel isolated in their actions, that they aren't just swimming against the current.
A call to boycott also sends the message that there will also be consequences for not joining the boycott. If you aren't actively boycotting, you can expect to be treated the same as those who are being boycotted.
in short, "If you sit at the fascist table, you will be considered a fascist."
This is true. Boycotting comes from Irish sharecroppers banding together against exploitative British landlords. It worked because they worked together. Anyone who had dealings with British landlords was shunned.
Boycotting has always been a group effort with coordination playing a key role.
