I don’t think he’s wrong. By shopping there once they make the desired changes, you signal to the company what you want to see from them. Other companies notice too. You reward them with your business. But by boycotting then all together, then they have no reason to make progressive policies. I think it’s better trying to steer the shitty company than letting them get worse.

Unfortunately, the art community is still big. No other platform has as much engagement with small time artists. I use it just for that. Sometimes Ill get curious and see political tweets. They’re almost always filled to the brim with comments spouting: hate, disinformation or deflection. You’ll see sane comments but the algorithm buries them. I’m sure most are bots but the nazi-ism is definitely boosted.

I’ve made accounts on bsky, pixelfed and cara and post there also. Unfortunately the masses haven’t moved to those yet so commissions and posts are sparse.

This is the faux-progressive version of “Did he say Thank You?”

Edit: maybe I misconstrued your sentiment. In the linked clip, he did not talk about the bombing of Yemen, only Trump feigning (or legitimately claiming, although I doubt it) ignorance.

tinfoils maybe Usha thinks “they’ll” kill her in Greenland to start a war between the US and Greenland so she’s taking her husband as insurance that won’t happen.

Untinfoils most likely she knows they’re hated and doesn’t want to face the unwantedness/hostility/embarassment of going where she’s unwanted.

I’d like to subscribe to more political pedantry
