I noticed people started to use the idea of “no ethical consumption under capitalism” to just be completely irresponsible and just stop trying at all. I don’t think the point of that is to give up completely lol

      “For the 2016 U.S. presidential election, he endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, citing his civil rights record.”

      From his Wiki. He also worked with a vegan company for his app idea and has noted that while not a vegan, he’s ashamed of eating meat and working towards becoming one by cutting animal products over time.

      He has no other endorsements of any other politicians except Bernie in 2016. I would say pretty based.

      Does that make the meme so? I don’t know, but claiming something is left ought to have at least something behind it. I’m not going to dig deep into his life to figure out if he is a comrade or not, I didn’t make the claim.

      His music is certainly enjoyable though if nothing else, and he predicted multiple trends so he is clearly ahead of the curve.
