        I’ve never heard of this issue though and their headphones and TVs and PS5 have made my life so fun lol

            Wow that is quite egregious… Thanks for enlightening me. I think the solution to this sort of thing is regulations and that’s why I volunteer every election.

              We don’t need anything they sell; boycotting them for 20 years has cost me neither money nor time. Direct action > voting.

                I would argue that campaigning for local/state/federal is much more impactful than direct action against a company. I doorknocked more than anyone in my state Senate district and my state senator won in a red area, allowing Minnesota to have a 1-vote majority in the Senate. Now Minnesota has done more than any blue state across the board in two years than others have done in decades.

                    I singlehandedly doorknocked thousands of houses, explicitly convinced dozens of people to find better news sources and support progressive candidates in primaries and general elections, and helped elect an attorney general who I genuinely trust (most relevant to this discussion; he is a close ally of Bernie Sanders). A lot more productive than complaining anonymously online like so many do on Lemmy and Reddit and other social media.
