In the age of computers, we need to be very careful, especially when buying a new computer. Since many companies support the gαy agenda, I've made a list of clean or mostly clean computer resources.

To be the cleanest, buy an used computer.

PCs:

CPU: I don't know many clean CPUs, so it's the best to get a deal with ARM. If not available, buy a Raspberry Pi or use AMD. AMD poses less danger than Intel. I recommend Sempron, because it's cheaper. Also, try to bar AMD from LGBT activity. If you know cleaner CPUs than Sempron, let me know! Also, I think that there are instructions on making a custom CPU, but it's not recommended.

Laptops: it's better to have an used one, but if you want a new, I think that ASUS+AMD is perfect, since ASUS has no relation with HRC. But be careful! Most manufacturers ship Windows with the new laptop, which makes a hefty price and most of it goes to a big enemy, Microsoft.

GPU: it's better to have an used, if not available, anything but ATI/Intel/etc. NVIDIA would be perfect, but some speculate Illuminati symbolism in the logo.

OS: Buying a computer without an OS is a clever decision, because you don't send money to Microsoft. My choice is Linux, because it's free. Preferred distros:
Debian (I know that is has a partnership with HP to make its' services useable on Linux, but since we don't pay for it, and it's not a monetary partnership, it's fine)
Ubuntu
Fedora
openSUSE
Puppy Linux (for older computers)
and so on.

But be careful with Linux Mint! Though it comes from the Catholic Ireland, it has a monetary connection with Yahoo, since LM users support LM by searching with Yahoo and DuckDuckGo. On Linux Mint, never use Yahoo.

Don't use Solaris or Oracle Linux. Other clean OSs include BSD, MorphOS and ReactOS.

Avoid these companies as much as possible:
Intel
IBM
Microsoft it has a Platinum Partnership with HRC and poses a danger to Tradcats and nerds because of the support of Agenda 21
Acer
Dell
Apple
HP
AMD
Sun/Oracle

About my mixed views on AMD: in many places, there are almost no clean CPUs. AMD can be good since the company has a medium rating on HRC. So if needed, you can get CPUs from them, but only Sempron and if it's possible, from a retailer.

If it needs correction, post it here!

NVIDIA is probably a bad go-to, because their blog promotes an LGBT acceptance campaign.

Thank you for the information!
EDIT: it turned out that NVIDIA supports the gαy agenda, so I need to pull it from the list. If NVIDIA is more dangerous than AMD, then NVIDIA should be replaced with ATI.
EDIT2: other useful resources:
DansGuardian free content filter for your computer
Also, I need useful clean sources for motherboards. I use an ASRock motherboard.

It's admirable to try to reject evil (the gαy agenda, etc.) but I basically gave up on what you're trying to do a LONG time ago. I'd have to live a completely self-sufficient lifestyle, which I haven't arrived at just yet. I can't afford to be scrupulous about such matters.

But it's not just a practical decision. It's also a doctrinal one.

Avoiding this or that company because the corporation pays money to gαy organizations is indeed scrupulous. Catholic morality simply doesn't oblige us to act in such a manner. Unless you are *willfully* supporting gαys, there is no sin on your part if the CEO of an organization uses some of his own money to further the gαy agenda, or allocates a small part of his marketing or PR budget for the same.

And while you think you might have found "clean" PC parts, you might just be blissfully ignorant about that company's sins. Are they making use of inhuman working conditions to make their products? Are there any other sins they are promoting? Do their executives make use of strippers, call girls, etc. for business purposes (fostering a new business relationship, for example)?

I think that the best thing a Catholic can do is *consume as little as possible* which is where I disagree with ggreg. In the modern world, ALL companies are under pressure to cut costs and compete all the way down to the bottom. How many companies are using slave labor, child labor, virtually slave labor, inhumane working conditions (70 hour weeks for low pay), etc?

Not just computers, but clothing, appliances, pretty much everything made in a factory.

One way to limit the damage is to NOT buy the latest & greatest everything. Try to buy used, or buy a computer and use it for more than 3 years. Really you should be able to use a computer for at LEAST 5 years, if not 8. You don't need Microsoft's latest OS. Windows XP will do the job just fine.

Oh, and don't buy the highest-end processors. Those are the ones with the highest margin -- it's how Intel and AMD make back their Research & Development budget. Processors range in cost from $50 to $1000. Obviously, when you buy a middle-of-the-road $150 processor, you can't be supporting ANYONE too much, because you're only shelling out $150 total, right?

So when you factor in that the modern world grinds up PEOPLE to feed the machine, it behooves us to not support that machine any more than necessary.

The spirit of poverty: don't waste, make good use of what you have, take care of what you have, do without when possible.

So it's not the same thing to make $130,000 a year and spend $100,000
as it is to make $50,000 a year and spend $35,000.

In the second scenario, you're supporting the economy ("the beast") much less.
I think that's actually a good thing, and something to shoot for.
