"there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" implies "reduce consumption", not "it's pointless to try to exert your principles with your dollar". boycotts work. they hinge on capacity, and no one can do them perfectly all the time, but they r super powerful as a sustained collective effort

we can't shame people into boycotting, we have to build viable alternatives, and divesting from amazon is a big ask - possible, for sure, over time but the people like me with capacity will have to pave the way and create those viable alternatives
