No, it's supporting the company. The company wouldn't exist if buying things from it didn't support it. Companies need money to support their supply chains, workers, and management, in order to sell things in order to make money. What does "supporting a company" mean to you? Taking it out to the pub after a bad breakup? Ridiculous. Companies, the general economic unit of our capitalist world, are fed by money, be it VC or customer. "Vote with your dollar" is woefully inadequate to address the problem, but beyond building pipe bombs it's the most efficacious tool we as individuals can wield.
Your moral thinking is so impoverished that you conclude by recommending "building pipe bombs". Back to the drawing board.
Your moral thinking is so incredibly wealthy that you can't accept that financially supporting slavery is wrong.
We should be less concerned with consequences and more concerned with actions in themselves. Buying an iphone is not "supporting slave labor". Paying taxes is not supporting your government's foreign policy. Turning on the heater is not killing the planet.

No, it's literally paying money in exchange for a good or service.
> I can't think of a more meaningful way to support something than to give it money...
You can't? That's somewhat shocking.
