And so then I say, “Well, that’s not completely the point. There is almost no big organization you interact with that doesn’t have at least some part of it devoted to some monstrous crime. Your phone is made with slave labor, the people who grow your chocolate have never eaten chocolate, your soda is made in factories where villages used to be before armed goons evicted the former residents and killed anyone who wouldn’t leave. If 0.01% of Google’s operation is helping genocide then they’re actually ahead of the curve, because the whole modern world is evil in specific parts of it.”
And then the guy with the sign starts screaming “Yes that is EXACTLY THE POINT!”
no ethical consumption under capitalism
Alternatively: The only ethical consumption under capitalism is eating the rich
Nah, there's inherent dangers in humans eating humans, such as prions.
Best cut the rich into little pieces, feed them to pigs and then eat the pigs.
Google isn't a local business caught within the system also don't push a poor lifestyle on everyone. We are on lemmy and no money goes to israel here.
