I mean, it’s at least one degree of separation, right? Not giving money to Mullvad directly means Nazis have less money. So at least one.

I pay Mullvad. They pay the Founder. The Founder makes a large donation to anti-immigration parties.

Is that really enough abstraction for you?

“Yeah, I give money to the Nazi party. Do you know how long it’s been since they actually killed Jews? Get over it!”

I mean if you avoid companies where fascists directly profit from your purchases, I cannot think of a single company I would bet the house on not being one of those - so do you go hungry and thirsty or do you just steal all of your food and clothing and means of transportation?

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Or fascism. But maybe that’s being redundant.

Yeah, I mean people still drive VW and GM cars despite the respective manufacturers both benefiting from Nazi Germany during world war 2.

That is… very much a different thing in many different ways.

If people were buying them during WWII for instance, that would be a huge problem.

They did. After world war 2 ended, VW continued and GM reabsorbed Opel with no penalties.
