People are just being rational and pragmatic.
People are losing money and a product they liked because they imagine disliking it hurts an individual they don’t like.
This is a lose/lose enemy centered mindset, and a weird personification of a corporation.
It’s more like a vodoo doll. You hurt yourself AND don’t make the world any better, but maybe it feels good to imagine the symbol getting hurt.
You only think I’m hurting myself because you don’t understand what having principles means, and that violating them would hurt more than any monetary penalty. Whether it hurts the other or not is completely irrelevant to my decision. But it makes sense that you think in zero-sum terms, people without principles usually do.
It’s always funny to me that hating is fine if the person justifies it by some reason, but it’s generally not accepted, when that person doesn’t care about the reason.
“Stop the hate”, but of course only if it’s not me hating. Because that hate is valid and justified.
