Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

    I do encourage everyone to drop all Meta platforms, but generally speaking “vote with your wallet” is ineffectual.

    There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

    Edit: choosing what makes you happier is never ineffectual, but capitalism is not a democracy. You can’t “vote” out a company by choosing not to use their product, especially when that company owns many of the options or has control over the majority of the market.

      How is voting with your wallet ineffectual?

      There’s a confirmation bias at work here. The shitty things people didn’t pay for don’t exist.
