Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function.

Pretty much every CEO of every company is right wing. Several prominent Democrats are right-wing in their politics, and will still get the backing of the party regardless. That’s what happens when all you elect are capitalists.

I’ve never heard of Vivaldi. Does the adblock work?

Yep, most of them aren’t anti-gay maybe.

But they’re all 100% anti-union, anti-social welfare, anti-tax, pro-inequality, pro-monopoly, and anti-democracy. Kristal Ball called them “woke pinkertons”.

I do what I can to effect better outcomes in my own small sphere, but asking someone to forego any problematic associations in their consumption is like asking someone not to breathe.
