Don't Dropout of Dropout

Based on one of the more popular posts to emerge from this subreddit as of late, I felt it might be a good idea to express the point of view from an American standpoint.

I am unhappy about the current political shitstorm sweeping the country and SUPPORT the idea of boycotting American Companies. Fuck Amazon, Fuck Netflix, Fuck American Megacorps!!

The United States initiated a trade war and Dropout is currently an innocent casualty of circumstances. I suppose you could say it is a shame that Dropout is a legitimate business that pays taxes to a government with rotating administrations, especially one that is currently pro-facsist. But we all know that Dropout and its employees skipping out on their taxes is not a real option.

I understand the desire to cut ALL TIES and have zero of your money go to the United States in any way. However, this mindset extends far beyond what many of these individuals are imagining. Consider companies that have offices within the United States too.

Steam, Discord, Spotify, YouTube, Patreon, Gumroad, Adobe, AutoDesk, etc. Purchasing products from such platforms and/or paying their subscriptions, where they pay taxes and their employees based in the US and well... that's that. Income tax and all. I'd also add that If you donate to relief funds, or to any form of charity that is run in America or aids people in America (i.e. California Fires) a small portion of that goes to Taxes too. Through paying for materials, clothing, food, paying their workers, or website domain fees even. Generally such organizations are tax exempt, though the distributors they purchase said goods from are not.

I AM NOT SUPPORTING THE NOTION THAT YOU STOP DONATING TO CHARITY OR CAUSES YOU BELIEVE IN!

Quite the contrary actually, as I'd argue that donating to or supporting an ethical company that works against said regimes outweighs the tiny portion of taxes the Government gets, WITHOUT A DOUBT!

Do you think citizens avoid protesting because the cardboard and ink they spent to make their pickets got taxed? Sometimes the message is just too important.

I want to promote the idea that Dropout is EXTRMELEY DIVORCED from the people currently in power in the United States. If you own ANY of the above listed products or work at a place that uses said programs, they are providing MUCH more to the Trump Administration than Dropout EVER will.

Feel free to drop Netflix, Amazon, Disney, etc. Just please consider this before dropping out of Dropout.

Edit: Thank you all for commenting, I've genuinely been enjoying reading them and understanding more about the situation. The negative is more of what I was expecting and its what I was most curious to hear. So again thank you.

To those saying that I should've just stayed quiet since I'm American, well, I've learned my lesson. It's remarkable how much less hate I'd have if I didn't include that one part in the beginning. After this edit I'm going to refrain from commenting to respect their wishes.
