Actually wtf lmao. Capitalists just want your money, they don't give a fuck about morals.

By purchasing a product, you are directly financially supporting whoever you purchase said product from. The profits from that transaction will contribute to them being able to continue their business.

This is like, really incredibly basic shit. Are you real??

We live in a capitalist society. Money equals power. Giving a place your money effectively contributes to their power. Unfortunately that means it's not entirely unreasonable to equate patronage with support and it's generally reasonable to draw moral conclusions based on what people support.

Obviously it shouldn't be the only or primary way we engage in activism, but boycotting or shifting patronage is a reasonable part of a political movement under capitalism. Sometimes patronage cannot be helped, but we should do what we can to support places (sometimes financially) that best align with our morals.
