I can support picketing, and direct action against a specific target, but as soon as you blockade general traffic you're on the wrong side of whatever issue you're concerned about.
"I support picketing, so long as I can easily ignore it."
Yes, exactly, and unironically.
You're attacking a company you disagree with. Then you shift your hostile attention to me, my friends, my family, my neighbors.
Why the fuck do you think I would support you after you lump me in with your enemies?
You are much better off with me ignoring you than you are with the kind of attention you're going to get after you decide to target me.
Everybody, back off. We need to abandon our opposition to colonialism and genocide because internet tough guy doesn't want to get stuck in traffic.
