  Given how things have been going, it seems an appropriate course of action.

  I don’t want to support any company that is either directly or indirectly funding genocide and fascism. It’s not complicated.

  If you found out that Netflix powered their servers using an orphan grinding machine, would you still subscribe to them?

  Be serious.

    I’m so super mega serious. Seriously. I’ll try it more basic, but deadly serious:

    "What going on?

    Me not understand.

    Why hate thing? Is cause ai, or cause Israeli, both? Something else?

    Why do I care who is hitting the keyboard characters to sub a story i already know/love?

      AI gets subs wrong, and thinking that doesn’t matter is both ableist and just a terrible lazy product, but that’s not the pressing matter.

      It’s Israel. Because giving money to another party is not a value neutral action. Using a site that pays money to Israel—and you either know what that means or are purposefully avoiding the subject—means you are supporting Israel. Your consumption does not occur in a vacuum.

      Israel, the country committing a genocide? The country actively and openly exterminating an entire ethnic group? And the product isn’t even good anyway?

      Yea, it’s actually so easy to tell them to fuck off. If you can’t figure that out your moral compass is broken and you should send it in for a warantee repair.
