„bethany bongiorno“ is the most made-up sounding name I‘ve ever heard
I partly agree but I do think you have cause and effect (or disease and symptom if you will) swapped around. You‘re saying people don‘t do boycotts because they are futile. I would say it‘s the other way around and to answer OPs question, I think it largely comes down to commodity and mindlessness. But either way I think you are definitely right to suggest there must be systemic change and that all of this co2 compensation bullshit is just corporations guilt-tripping us into thinking we can consume our way out of this mess. However, the problem is that both approaches, the personal boycotts and the systemic change share a common factor, which is the requirement of mass action. If people aren‘t mindful enough to stop buying a particular kind of yoghurt, how are you ever going to get them to vote, much less stage a revolution? I think we need to get out of our passivity and boycotting things is a step in the right direction to establish a feel for personal agency.
jokes on you i almost always use wireless 🕶️
I‘m guessing you already know about David Graber‘s Bullshit Jobs?
they sent out an email in february saying that they stopped paying a share of your monthly payments directly to your most listened artists and instead will put more funding towards organizing concerts for „up and coming“ artists that they chose… which sounds just like advertising for tidal to me
I largely agree, except that a few months back tidal changed the way they compensate artists so now it‘s exactly the same crap as the others. bandcamp is the way if you want to support artists.
well worth the read, I didn‘t know about the IPO background until now
Being a star wars fan and avid reader I felt like I should give them a try, did some research and the consensus seemed to be that the thawn trilogy was the best, read book one and hated it for how one-dimensional the characters were, nothing at all noteworthy from a literary perspective
thanks, I tried that for a few days but turns out I can‘t live without a search function… trying wefwef now! so far pretty great
which app are you using? I can‘t seem to find any on my (Swiss) AppStore…
jesus christ ofc i didn‘t read the paper, i was just making a joke ffs
