If you hate it so much, show it with your wallet. Shop elsewhere.
That's pretty hard to do if you live in an area that only has the one store near, and even then; would the multi-billion dollar company really care if it gets like $1200 less per year from a single customer?
As for your first point, you're right. If the local business scene is non-existent, then there's little one can do.
As for your second point, well, that's not the point. If OP says he hates Walmart so much, and he has a choice, then shopping elsewhere would be good for him.
Plus even if $1200 won't break Walmart, well, at least that's $1200 OP isn't willingly and reluctantly giving to them.
