People need to follow what they believe is necessary but I ask this: how many degrees of separation from your money is far enough to enjoy a product without having to worry about where the money is going? Eventually someone you don’t agree with will touch it.
I mean if you avoid companies where fascists directly profit from your purchases, I cannot think of a single company I would bet the house on not being one of those - so do you go hungry and thirsty or do you just steal all of your food and clothing and means of transportation?

That is… very much a different thing in many different ways.

“Yeah, I give money to the Nazi party. Do you know how long it’s been since they actually killed Jews? Get over it!”
I mean, it’s at least one degree of separation, right? Not giving money to Mullvad directly means Nazis have less money. So at least one.
