        Spotify itself is worse than apple music IMO. They sponsor shit like Joe Rogan and had to be called out by their own employees before they would remove a podcast on how to traffic women by the Tate brothers

    Why not make it a bit more aggressive? Put crossed-out Russian, Chinese and US flags there, and write “No parts from fascist shitholes used” next to them

      They probably do use Chinese made parts though.

        They should quit their BS marketing then. I fully understand not wanting to buy stuff from the US, a fascist shithole. But buying stuff from China, a (at least currently) much worse fascist shithole (not sure how much worse the US will get) is not a solution. What we need are European/Canadian alternatives. Isn’t that (at least the former subject) the whole point of this community?

    Places that do this kind of marketing and make it clear they don’t use US items to provide services to you are normally impossible to get an appointment because they’re so damn busy. It’s awesome how quickly we Canadians have come together and are fighting back anyway we can.

    I wish we could have the kind of unity Canada does where they recognize stupidity, call it out, and NOT side with fascists

      Buy Canadian isn’t always an option. But buying non-American almost always is. And since a huge part of the protest at this time is about putting the US in the penalty box, it’s an acceptable tradeoff.
