I’m really tired of this genre of viral internet post that’s like “DONT CROSS THE PICKET LINE! don’t order from Widget Burger Co on Tuesday because there’s a BIG STRIKE” and then you go to look at widget burger co on Tuesday and there’s nobody picketing and everyone is at work like normal. it totally devalues the idea of what a labor movement even is and makes you look gullible as hell for joining in. and this is self crit bc ive done it before
I understand that people want a militant labor movement in this country badly and wish they could just order one online but it doesn’t work like that
@kate boycotts just don't work
