There are many problems not caused by big tech.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean? We should ignore glaring problems because other problems exist?

Mamdani isn't contributing to an issue by using Twitch

He is driving money and traffic to Twitch and funding one of the most prolific and worst tech billionaires. I'm not sure how you can possibly argue with that, but please, go on.

You fail to understand that there is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism.

I've just described several methods, so no, that's simply incorrect. Is it going to be as easy? No. But nothing worth doing ever is.

you are up against forces bigger than Mamdani

Mamdani is an influential person with the influence to create an ethical snowball.

You aren't having a conversation

...what would you call this?

you're just trying to get mad at Mamdani

You're projecting. I'm not mad at him and I've said nothing to indicate that I was. You just made that up.

We're talking about making laws because that's the solution to your problem.

Could be, but its not necessary. And certainly not relevant to this conversation.
