Divestment.
Remember when USC did it to South Africa as did several other US-based universities? That action held a large impact upon the ending of aparthied.
Divestment
can work for the individual as well. However, inasmuch as the individual is concerned, it is the sacrifices of divestment that can or cannot be deemed relative to their well-being.
USC can afford to not have investments in South Africa.
Conversely, can the individual afford to forgo electricity, water, oil and grow their own food? That depends on fortitude.
It has been done, however.
And not only by nutcases who leave bombs in mailboxes.
