I would kinda put all that under the umbrella of "good organizing," which is also necessary for a boycott or strike to work.
However you want to go about it, you need to have really solid organizing efforts.

That's pretty cool, haven't heard anything about that. How did the boycott work? Did they boycott the cafés specifically or all dairy products?

You're using the author's work to prove your point, which I think it does poorly. Your point was not successfully made Mr/Ms messenger.

Enough people boycotted diary milk in Australia that nearly every cafe has dairy alternatives.

If you want to split hairs and argue long term effects, take it up with the article’s author. Im just the messenger. The point is, boycotts work quite often.

Many of those feel debatable as to whether it was the boycott or something else. Negative publicity isn't the same as a boycott, for example. Decades of efforts by Peta doesn't sound like it was really their efforts that caused change...

Did it change anything though? The goal wasn't really to get the shops out of Russia, it was to save Ukraine via economic pressure on Russia.

Last year?
When the russians invaded Ukraine some companies decided to stay in Russia and got boycotted (at least here on Poland, but to some extent also internationally) quite hard and some if not most of them pulled out off of Russia due to decline in sales on other markets

Biden’s policies have cost the rich, semi-rich. Middle class and everyone else trillions in lost wealth so you got that going for you.

Yup, only takes 1 or 2 idiots out of 10's of thousands of protestors for them to get a clip and paint the whole protest as being violent and full of idiots.

Yup. A good rule of thumb: anyone younger than half your age plus 7 is too young for you. (That's how I calculated the 15 to 18 range for you based on your age)

don't hold yourself to the standards of others, what "fun" or "success" is for others might not be the same for you and that's okay. you aren't required to fit in with everyone. and never feel as if you're any lesser for having different opinions and perspectives:)
