No Mercy / No Malice: Resistance Infrastructure

Scott Galloway (essay)

Galloway advocates 'Resist and Unsubscribe' — consumer boycotts targeting subscription companies enabling ICE operations. His argument: subscription company valuations depend on retention (Netflix lost $50B from 200K subscriber loss), making consumers' leverage real. Not just economic pressure — boycotts function as signals that generate media attention. Political change requires sustained friction, not frictionless activism.

Editorial

Consumer boycotts as democratic leverage
Subscription company valuations depend on retention — Netflix lost $50B from 200K subscribers. This makes consumer cancellation a genuine lever of democratic power.
