This sounds a lot like advocating slacktivism to me.
"This wont impact the problem, but I will do it anyway, so people know I am aware of the problem!"
Woopie. Don't go to the Olympics. Let's all be sure to get that #Uyghurs2022 hashtag trending while we're at it, and change our profile pictures to "I Stand With Michaels."
Meaningful change, that's what we're all about.
Honestly if we don't think refusing to go to the Olympics is going to have a meaningful impact on any of the issues mentioned, what are we talking about here?
