I don’t exactly disagree, but i think my stance is that the money is the reason and the morals/ethics are a byproduct of having to do what it takes to get that money, in certain markets.

Sure, enough pressure from the ad execs would bring about change, probably.

I just wanted to point out that they aren’t working with a moral or ethical baseline, only money.

I think they will care about complaints of convicted human traffickers.

I would lay money on them not giving a single solitary fuck unless it affects their bottom line somehow.

Spotify paid ridiculous sums of money, specifically to get Joe Rogan.

They absolutely do not care about complaints about tate.

Not to say you shouldn’t try, you should, just that it’s screaming into the void until the monetary price of continuing support is greater than at least some combination of sunk cost + potential profit. ( so $250m + whatever their profit projections are ).

Same reasoning behind using DEI instead of the actual words that acronym represents.

A worldwide revolution in which everyone unites against the “ruling class” isn’t a viable alternative in and of itself, that’s like saying “world peace”.

An example of an alternative would be something which could fill in the blank in this sentence and make sense.

“Don’t boycott products/companies, that isn’t how you achieve your goal, what you should be doing is <BLANK>”

This is not a war between nations but a war between class

The issue i have with this isn’t that it’s a marxist cliche (i’ll take your word on that, I’ve no idea) it’s that it presents a false dichotomy in which a class war and a national war can’t both be occurring at the same time.

I suspect more people than you think realise this is a potential outcome.

Assuming it boils over before there is another election (also assuming that’s a thing that happens), military action is 100% a playable card.

It’s a toddler with a nuclear tantrum button.

It’s honestly not that much different in type than most nuclear powered nations.

The difference is “absolute last resort, and only maybe then” vs “they won’t let me annex Greenland and are being mean to me”

Hyperbolic ofc, but illustrative.

What are the reasonable good alternatives though?
