Practically everyone I’m friends with hates imperialism and colonialism but loves the benefits of visiting poor countries that were victims of imperialism/colonialism and feeling special because of the money they bring and the lack of developed domestic entertainment/art industries so that theirs and their countries artist/entertainers are way more competitive there

Everyone’s pretty hypocritical. People that get mad at other people for working for Google are extra and easily ignored. Damn all those Boeing and Airbus employees for working for huge military contractors. When a company gets big enough, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re lobbying for something terrible to benefit themselves.

I’m continuously confused how these standards don’t seem to apply to bank tellers, finance in general, large chain retail, fast food, large agriculture companies, fashion industry, film industry, music industry, alcohol, pharmaceutical, … etc

Some people fight the most inconsequential battles. If you work for JP Morgan Chase and someone gives you the cold shoulder or lectures you because so, ignore them. It’s such a small crowd that’s like that that it won’t change your lifestyle. It’s not like if you quit and struggled to find work and started to teeter on ruin that they’d be there for you. And someone like that probably fights so many small inconsequence battles that they’d be exhausting to be around anyways. And fighting such small inconsequential battles produces so little. Tagging, down with the oligarchy in a bathroom stall or sidewalk day to day. It’s small bubble activism
