While I did misunderstood the goal of your comment, sry for that, it still holds some truth and might be applied concept wise to what you meant.

Refusing to pay taxes is, as much as refusing to vote politically, a refuse to participate. Why should someone get a say in something that they refuse to be a part of?

We are on the same side, even if it’s not directly obvious. You showed that with you second point. By voting with you wallet for corporations that fulfill your values, you choose to give them more power over other corporations that don’t.

The same concept applies to voting politically. You give your vote to a party that fulfills your values over a party that doesn’t.

I the real world not paying taxes is not an option, as much as it’s not an option to not spend any money on any corporation, if your part of the society. We are able to choose in a given context, that for sure has its limitations.

Let’s say your not happy with the possible options that you can vote for, be it a financial or a political vote, you are free to fill the niche you think is missing. Start being active politically or economically and if there are more people that think like you and act according to this, things can change.

But if nobody does this, things will definitely move in the direction of the values from people that do the things above.

There is the famous phrase. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Great example how to not solve anything.

Stay delusional my friend

For whoever thinks not voting will be any form of good decision. Ask yourself this question.

How can someone distinguish a not vote because your fine with how things are from a not vote out of protest?

Thank you! It’s so refreshing to see someone actually taking action and doing something.

That constant stream of fingerpointing with the expectation that others need to do it, is just the prime form of entitlement.

I hope people follow your role model and start really doing something!

It’s not that you don’t have attention, what your lacking is the control over your attention. This means that you have a harder time directing your attention to what is “necessary”.

The result of this might be not being able to focus your attention on something, but it can show also as not being able to shift the attention away from something.

It’s actually not two different sides but rather the same.

This will continue, as long as people dont stop using the products of this shitty companies. So yes, everybody who uses Spotify made the choice to give them their money, so that they can continue with this bs.

You can blame the Management or whoever as much as you want, but as long as you dont change your behaviour and stop using their products, they dont have a reason to stop.

So yes, its your fault too!

So they don’t pay fees, they dont pay artist and they never made a Profit. But for some fucking reason are allowed to dictate the music industry.

For anyone reading this, that still uses Spotify, a big fuck you from the heart of an artist!!! You’re the reason that abominations like Spotify are able to continue…

Europe will step in as usual

You really dont know what it means if a Company is non-profit and opensource, right?
