Black people can’t be racist against WASPs, nor can Jews, but Black people and Jews can be racist towards one another. Seriously, why does it need to be a competition? Why do you need to be the most oppressed person in the room at all times? Literally nothing is being stuck to the Black community over Kanye West. The

Ah, the “ad hominem fallacy” fallacy. No, it’s only ad hominem when I do nothing but insult you. I can make an argument /and/ call you a dumb-dumb.

[But politicians have an actual mechanism for the public to stop them (i.e. voting). JKR is already rich, and no amount of boycotting is going to change that, so it’s imo pretty damn fair to say “this is a dumb choice of buck to stop on”.]

The “more important” buck can be passed on endlessly. Why boycott a megarich donor and activist? She’s not important, she’s just a distraction, the heads of this or that group are what matters. Except, it’s really the politicians enacting bad laws, so we need to target them, they’re the most important. Although, if

No one is saying Jewish people can’t be racist towards Black people, but you seem to think Black people can’t be racist towards Jewish people. It’s not a zero sum game where either you’re oppressed or the Jews are.

You cannot truly be stupid enough to think that people who don’t like Kanye are giving Trump a pass. 

You’re the one that said I “can’t fathom fighting this any way other than what [I] can easily reach in a minute on [my] phone”, I don’t know why suddenly now that the turntabled you’re playing the “we can do both” card. That’s the card I was playing from the start.

You’re assuming not giving money to a bigot is the sum of my activism, rather than simply a mundane component of ethical life. At least, I sure would love for it to be a minor issue, yet here you are, arguing about that minor issue, instead of doing anything you’re accusing me of not doing.

Truly, the megarich world-famous author who remains at the top of one of the world’s biggest franchises is small potatoes. Why isn’t everyone angry at TERF YouTuber Siobhan Grunkle

I also think we should gatekeep art based on the methods of creation. Next, we kick out the digital artists, and continue until we’re back to real art: cave painting with elk’s blood.

She has to either see it herself to do anything about it or else be like “hey, can you look at all these videos of me getting blasted in the face by ten guys?” to someone else. Obviously she isn’t sitting there being forced to stare at it for the full length of the video, but she’s going to see something, even if just

You’re all clear kid, now let’s blow this thing and go home.

How did I accept that those who built it were child laborers? If it happened, it happened, but me taking possession of a used laptop isn’t giving them any money so I’m not doing anything to incentivize that they keep doing it. I don’t really know what “accepting” it means. If JK Rowling died or was cut out of making

But...I didn’t give my money to anyone employing child labor?

Also. You really should. See someone about that. Tic of. Yours.

In what way am I responsible for it? And why do you type like. You’re having a stroke every. Few words?

I got my computer used.

I don’t have a phone. 

You can’t only support media by people you agree with, or if you could, it would at least be a very energy draining, stressful process that would just cause you more harm in the long run. But Harry Potter has been overshadowed by this stuff for a few years now, and most of the people who feel the worst about it are,

I guess you’re right, no ethical consumption under capitalism means that we really should just entirely give up on the idea of boycotts and judicious spending in general. I’m gonna go get a MyPillow, they look comfy as hell. It’s not like I’m doing more harm than I was before, right? No ethical consumption under

Can you think of any famous activists coordinating those campaigns?
