If your form of protest is causing me inconvenience, it's not gonna convince me to ally to your cause, but the opposite, to fight you and your stupid cause. You never win people over by inconveniencing them, never ever. Ask the striking dock workers or airport workers or public transit workers. Plus, I don't want to be politically lectured by the products I buy. That's a product defect.

It's a valid question though - in class issues, the power structure is capital vs labour. Either you have a lot of money to push for change, or you have enough people pushing for change that money can't sway the popular opinion.

Your perspective puts you on the side of capital, though something tells me that you don't command the ability to commit millions of dollars to push for societal change on a whim. So if you were to try to rally others to a cause, what methodology would work for someone like yourself?

Inconveniencing people is part and parcel of protesting, including the Civil Rights movement.
