I mean, look, buy what you want to buy or vice versa. They aren’t my dollars and capitalism does allow you to spend money where you want. Just don’t act like you’re anything but the petulant little snowflake you accuse certain others of being when you throw around your dog whistle language.

At least in the Dixie Chicks case, people bought the album(s) so they could burn them and shot them back to the top of the charts.
