Well that was alot of anti-white SJW non-sense but they did get some things correct.

To someone on the left, burning a pair of expensive shoes is a self-own.

To someone on the right, it's demonstrating just how disposable those products are. That they have the money to just do something so flippant in an instant.

They can afford to set fire to their own shoes, smash up their expensive coffee makers, and if any company they support does something they don't like, they can destroy those products too. Because they can afford to.

They are customers, and they're making a statement that they have power. That's the message; we can afford this stuff, so listen!

Yes, that is the message and it is an effective form of consumer protest. Anyone deemed not left enough for the Corporate Marxist establishment doesn't have the social capital to just whine and magically get what they want without actually proving their worth as a paying customer. SJWs are allowed to "boycott" products they will never buy and have companies listen to them. Conservatives, Moderates and even some non-SJW Liberals & Progressives have to prove that they are potential paying costumers before they can effectively boycott companies.

I don't understand their argument. Firstly, does no one remember the Goya fiasco where TONS of lefties just threw food in the trash for the dumb reason of having a CEO vaguely support Trump? Secondly, there's a skewed view of the right by the left that the right is both idiotic poor bumpkins and wealthy oil barons and middle class darlings (who are also idiotic/evil in their view because the left can't handle rationalizing other people). This is far from a right-exclusive phenomenon, and the left handily does it more often over less. Cathy Griffin threatened Trump with an ISIS-style beheading and got a comedy special less than 2 years later. Gina Carano said cancel culture was similar to Nazi brownshirts and she'll never work in Hollywood again.

The irony is, we ran into hundreds of cases where whining leftists decided to publicly destroy their Harry Potter merch when Saint Rowling got excommunicated for the crime of being a supposed TERF. Same energy, but in their case I'm sure they felt that taking their copy of Philosopher's Stone, their Gryffindor scarf, and every poster they own, and putting the match to them was justifiable. Never mind the fact that JK already got her check for the royalties off of that stuff - she must be canceled out of everywhere because she didn't believe that someone's fee-fees can flip their gender.

Man, the level of cognitive dissonance in these people's heads never fails to astound me. Just when I think it can't get any worse, they find a new set of gymnastics to work into their floor routine.
