Call it caring fatigue. There are causes that I care about and that I spend my time and energy on. But over the course of 2020-2025, every little thing-of-the-week issue that popped up demanded that I stop buying socks at target, or burritos at chipotle, canned beans or pens or video games or cloud services or t-shirts or shoes or plastic cups or what have you. I just don’t have it in me to pretend to care about everything that everybody else cares about all the time. I’m picking my 2-3 things and sticking with them
cool you choose a side of fascist, apartheid and billionaire boot licking. You choose to ignore the sufferings of millions, in your own country and abroad to have a convenient lifestyle. Your kind are the reason why companies and states behave like this, because they know you are addicted to be a consumer.
I could probably find a thousand things you spend your money on that hurt people in some way, but I’m not going to hold you to that insane standard because I don’t believe in ideological purity tests
