This wasn't a pro-spotify post, it was a your government isn't something you can just boycott away post.
Like, your taxes are already paying for ICE directly.
That's like "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism so I'll get an Amazon Prime subscription" thinking.
You can't boycott away a government, you can't even boycott away a corporation for that matter. That doesn't mean we should just give up and be complicit.
Governments are toppled, not opted out of, is all I'm saying.
Also not sure I agree that all consumer activism is inherently in vain.
