The basic premise is to deny capital to the companies whose policies you oppose.
In a system where economics and politics so thoroughly mix, I can't see how you can draw such a line as the one you claim to draw. It would make you indistinguishable from an uninformed buyer. And essentially that's what you're saying: you make purchases as if you had no information as to how the money might be used, even when you know it may be applied to goals that you feel would limit your freedom (or however a person might phrase this.) Your only concern when making a purchase is getting the best value.
Moreover, registering a domain is hardly "consumerism", unless you want to conflate the term with any act of purchasing.
