Remember that boycotting (or not crossing picket lines, including symbolic ones) is not about ethical consumption. It’s not about ethics at all, and it’s not about performing purity. It’s an organized action toward a material goal. Crossing a picket line can be thought of as working against the material goals of a strike.
If for whatever reason you can’t participate in a boycott in solidarity with strikers, it’s good practice not to make a lot of posts justifying your right to cross a picket line, or how you don’t believe in strikes for ethical reasons, or you don’t care, or whatever. At best, it shows that you are ignorant about what boycotts are and the issues at hand, at worst, you are just like… doing unpaid labor for Amazon. At worst you are doing harm to workers. And literally everyone has heard it before. If you want to end performative internet politics, start with you! 😉
“The voices in your head are calling, stop wasting your time, there’s nothing coming, only a fool would think someone could save you. The men at the factory are old & cunning, you don’t owe nothing, so boy get runnin’! It’s the best years of your life they want to steal..”
