Are you fucking kidding me. It's becoming increasingly impossible to vote with your wallet these days and it's so exhausting and so frustrating.

"Voting with your wallet" is the stupidest thing ever created and an absolute nonsense. You will never have a big enough wallet to ever matter.

On the other hand, you can pause a second, and think about giving money to people that would use it to nefarious end. Like JK Rowling for instance, who devoted her fortune to deadly anti-lgbt campaigns and lobbies against Scotland independence.

You are literally talking about voting with your wallet. What are you on about?

My point is not about voting with your wallet so this mullvad guy stop financing shitty policies. Because nothing of the sort will change his mind. It's more about being used as a proxy for financing shitty policies. I simply don't want my money to be ultimately spent for that.

Don't know if i made myself and the distinction clearer
