“Jens Uses…”
This is my /uses page. It represents a light, random, early interpretation of the concept. It doesn’t aim to be “complete.”
In General
- I don’t use products that contain animals or parts of animals. I’m a vegan and an anti-speciesist.
- I don’t use Israeli products and services. Not only do I believe in law and no one being above it, I also condemn colonization, apartheid, and genocide and the supremacist ideology behind such crimes.
- I avoid and move away from U.S. products and services. Any country spying on their allies’ people and threatening to annex their territory is not behaving like a friend, but like a threat.
