Sanction them with what power?

A significant driver of these heated debates over media consumption is people's growing feeling that there's no realistic route to affect change through the government. There are, IMO, some good reasons for that feeling! So they try to achieve something using the lever they have available to them: the marketplace.

We can't change the government, but we can change the increasingly anti-consumer and immoral corporate fuckers that own the government?

If we're gonna be pessimistic, then let's go all the way and be honest. There is no hope of fixing the world within the confines of a system mutilated by those who wish to do us harm. They've made sure of that. Boycott, play video games, whatever makes you feel better. If we're fine with distracting ourselves to find some purpose and joy in this miserable world, that's fine, but that's what it is. I can't throw stones. I too am likely too cowardly to do what needs to be done.
