Yes because choosing which light bulb to use is analogous to lynching.

You realize it was the government that enforced Jim Crow laws, against miscegenation, and “sodomy” (ie non heterosexual sex).

Not to mention the “War on Drugs”, civil forfeiture and using eminent domain to take away private property to give to another company.

I can much easier choose which corporation to use than the government.

And looking at some of the ideas on this submission, I damn sure don’t want some internet geeks deciding what products I can use and how they are made.

The lightbulbs were changed after sale, consumer choice is irrelevant here.

You realize that said lynching was very often institutionalized and encouraged by local authorities? Do you think corporations were the ones doing the lynching?

Even in the context of the extreme hyperbole of this entire comment chain, your analogy is pretty extreme and does not make sense. Jim Crow laws weren't stopped by regulation, they were stopped by dismantling government enforced rules.

And yes, it might sound crazy but individuals can actually decide what light bulb to buy or what computer to buy. And thinking so isn't even remotely libertarian or hyper capitalist. We aren't talking about labor rights or healthcare or other very asymmetric power imbalances. People just like to buy computers and devices that nerds and euh, let's say, activists dislike or ideologically disagree with. It doesn't make them sheep, or stupid, or ignorant.
