"Elon Musk, Apartheid, and America’s New Boycott Movement

If you think mass protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s."

Long and uncomfortable read, ending on a hopeful note:

"The South Africa apartheid regime was defeated. Maybe one South African oligarch can be too."

End of the linked articled: 

"Boycotts rarely have the kind of impact activists hope for; they tend to be too diffuse or too hotly contested.

But opposition movements always seem hopeless until they’re not. Apartheid existed for decades and then came crashing down rapidly. We didn’t know that its heirs would be wreaking havoc on this country four decades later, but history isn’t an unbroken line that goes up and to the right. Some of the bad stuff comes back and has to be fought again.

The South Africa apartheid regime was defeated. Maybe one South African oligarch can be too."
