While I agree that we have a duty to avoid unethical brands whenever possible, there’s just no way to escape them all. I live in a poor country and I there’s a lot of “bad stuff” I have to buy just because it’s what I can affford at the moment.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Very true. I have an example in my family: my father-in-law owns a lot of land. That land, not so long ago, belonged to some native tribes that were all killed to have said land stolen. My wife said that, when her father dies and she inherits the land/money, she’s gonna donate most of it (maybe all, depending on our financial situation), because she doesn’t want the blood money.
Every time I (proudly) tell this to someone, they look at me like I’m crazy.
We drive our cars and planes
And burn the fossil fuels
We ignore the scientists
And call them climate fools
We chop down all the forests
And fill the seas with trash
We melt the polar ice caps
And watch the glaciers crash
We suffer and we will die
From the heat as we get older
But hey, at least we created a lot of value
For our dear shareholders
He should be in jail, but it’s a start.
It is possible, but Beehaw users won’t see your comment (I may be wrong, this is still a bit complicated for me as well).
More or even more.
