If it's not announced, if your intentions are not known, is it a boycott? I'd say no, because you're not boycotting Store A if you're shopping at Store B for some reason other than your hate of Store A for store-unrelated reasons (e.g. the political stance of the store owner, or the color of their skin).

Even simpler, making your intentions known should fall under "political speech" -- which currently enjoy the widest protections under the courts.

This is precisely how one would create a silent majority - muzzling any dissenting speech or attitude.
