I seen too many internet forums saying that if you don’t boycott X, Y, and Z, then you’re a “terrible person”. What do you think about that?

    I’m fine if they eat chicken fill a or buying a Cyber Truck, if they spend the same amount of time (using minimum wage as a scale) on community: mentoring trans kids, feeding homeless people, building shelter, changing diapers for the elderly, etc.

    IMO if you do community service full time for a couple of years it grants you an entitlement for a douchebag car.

          They’re saying no one should be allowed to buy a product without also spending time and money compensating for the company owner’s bigotry. That’s exactly gatekeeping.

          If that’s the case you owe a fucktonne of money and service for all the Intel processors you’ve used seeing as Intel built the math machines that optimized the murder of Jews during the holocaust

            That’s not gatekeeping, that’s being judgemental about how others spend their time.
