If your position is “don’t go because it’s morally wrong to attend” then that’s great and valid. If your position is “don’t go because we need to stop China from what they’re doing” then it’s delusional nonsense.
Some people are conflating a moral decision with an impactful decision. If the point is change, this won’t accomplish it. That’s all.

This thread is about the Olympics. I don't see anyone saying that not attending the Olympics will free the Canadian hostages. Its just one thing of many. It took us decades to get to this point and it isn't going to change in even a year or two. For policy makers to actually do something impactful and meaningful we need to get the average Canadian voter on side and understanding that we will need to go through a period of difficulty and pain to achieve anything. If the common attitude is complacency and the common thought is that we are powerless, then yes we are. I believe you need to start with the little gestures sometimes before you can make that giant leap. But if that is just me and my virtue signaling, so be it.
