Someone spoke in opposition to shopping politics (or something like 
that), and someone else replied that the software at issue was free, so 
no shopping was involved.

I neither shop NOR consume (free or unfree) for political reasons except 
in the case of organized boycotts. My consumption as well as shopping is 
based on personal convenience alone.

Politics, for me, is coextensive with organizing collective action. 
Private shopping or consumption decisions have nothing to do with 
oganizing collective action, hence no political principle is involved.
