When massive CEOs are doing stuff like this people absolutely should call them out, and if they are deciding to not take their money then it absolutely is the right thing to mention it.
Should we all just roll over and say "this is fine" ?
PGs own "performative aspect" is writing that blog, the whole thing where people on the right invented "virtue signaling" is way to show off to each other.
It's a silly concept, but it's the age old thing of rebounding something people should do as something they shouldn't.

- Dracophoenix 2y agoThe political profile of a faux-altruist doesn't matter if faux-altruism is practiced by almost everyone. "No ethical consumption in capitalism" is bandied by every champagne socialist who wants to justify their own participation, even flourishing, in an economic system they claim is bad for everyone else. Many of the politicians who claim to fight for all, regardless of party affiliation, kowtow to specific interest groups in order to ensure their hold on power, whether its last century's Tammany Hall or this century's fuzzily-delineated affinity groups. Hypocrisy cuts in a multitude of ways.
