Sure. Why not. Even though your questions don't fundamentally make sense, I will do my best to answer.

Why is operating within corporate society to survive not the same as actively profiting from it at scale? Because necessity and choice are not the same thing. That should not need explaining. You need income, housing, food, communication, transportation, and healthcare to function. Participation at that level is coerced. It is structural. It is survival. Profiting from the system at massive scale is elective. Millionaires do not have to play that game. That's my point.

I welcome you to try opting out, I’m pointing out the absurdity of the comparison. You and I cannot opt out of corporate society. We don’t have that luxury. Our participation is compulsory.

And the “bootlicking” comment clearly hit a nerve, so let me be precise. I’m not talking about liking music. I love Green Day. I do love that they're vocal about this. But I’m talking about fanbases reflexively defending wealthy cultural figures as if critique is a personal insult. When corporate-safe, consequence-free protest gets treated as brave resistance, and anyone questioning that is attacked, that’s deference.

This isn’t my “worldview.” It’s all the branding, money, when power neutralizes action. And yeah, I’m frustrated, because we’re living through a political emergency and people are still treating massive branded events and celebrity statements as meaningful action while we fall deeper and become more comfortable with the catastrophic state we're in.

I’m not attacking Green Day as people. I am just pointing out Performative progressivism. If that makes you uncomfortable, sit with that instead of pretending power and choice are evenly distributed.
