Good to see more people are understanding how anti-consumer our digital distribution laws are. Sucks they had to find out this way, but people have been warning of this for years.

They should pay people enough to live and this wouldn't happen.

Of course they want you to use their shops. That way they can charge whatever price they want.

It's the same reason McDonald's ice cream machines are always down.

Not even real money, tech bro phantom bullshit.

With ads being put on the videos now it's definitely not worth it.

Successful social movements requires messaging that can reach the lowest common denominator.

Thanks for pointing this out! I was already using Firefox, but after looking this up I found out that they also got rid of him for being homophobic.

Firefox it is!

No, they are absolutely not the biggest, unless you're talking about classic liberalism instead of something like the Democratic Party. The messaging of the GOP and right in the US is far more opposed to solidarity than anything else.

There is far more participation in unions in Blue states. Union members are also more likely to be Democratic voters.

That said, the Democratic Party doesn't push working class solidarity either, they're just not as openly opposed to it.

Seriously, how do you have a worse battle pass for a full price game than Fortnite does? It's pretty pathetic.

And when you look at how Israel is basically fascist when it comes to Palestine and Biden has backed them unconditionally it blurs the lines even more.

But lives overseas don't matter as much as American lives to most of the US.

Is Trump worse? Hell yes. Is Biden good? No.

Patriotism isn't leftist. Providing an economic structure that works for all people regardless of borders is leftist.

It doesn't need to kill them to completely disrupt social order. There's an estimate out there that there will be up to 1 billion climate refugees by 2050. The Global North already does not handle refugees as well, even though they consistently cause a large amount of the refugee problems.

This.

Taking the stance that voting alone isn't enough and that we need direct action like the Labor, Civil Rights, and Women's Suffrage movements to accomplish change isn't the Right side of the aisle.

The folks who insist that electoralism will save us are misguided.

That said, as someone who votes down ballot anyways I'm going to vote for the farthest left candidate that can win. I can't find a compelling reason not to vote as a leftist. Then again, I can do it absentee in my state and my polling place doesn't have huge lines.

You mean despite of Christianity.

The book is bigger than at its base. Our society cannot progress without removing it from a focal point.

It used to be farm punk.

A few people voting with their dollars is completely useless. You're also talking about an international business with more users outside the US than in it, who don't need to care about Joe Rogan.

That said, I don't eat at Chick-fil-A because of their shitty politics. I understand that me not eating there isn't creating any actual change, but I'm still not going to do it.

People should absolutely feel free to make these changes whenever they want, but you should realize that Spotify has grown subscribers since you left and they don't care that you did.

If we're going to have a president who backs fascist regimes abroad no matter what, they might as well be less fascist domestically.

The bar is so fucking low.

Their shitty behavior is what keeps them from getting laid. That makes them volcels.

Yeah, I agree with that. But you can't get any more solidarity with the wolves, that's my point. There's no reason to be hyperbolic about it since it just pushes people further away from realizing the points of these two men.
