this was the last straw? it wasn’t workers peeing in bottles, or businesses being displaced to build warehouse, or tax avoidance?

Shall we take a closer look at the brands you wear and the phone/computer(s) you own?

While hilarious I think the guy was making a fair enough point lol
Though we can all do better of course.
Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Please lord, don’t let chat bubble strawmen be the rest of my life. Amen.

It’s far easier to just not use Amazon than it is to not own a phone or computer.
Yes, it sucks there are no good options to buy an “ethical” phone, but phones are basically a necessity. Instead of shopping from Amazon you can shop from tons of other places.
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 year ago
This is the same thing people say to those who shop at Walmart - it’s not always a choice. Amazon has run out digital and brick and mortar shops alike. Sometimes someone needs something in 2-4 days and there is literally no other way to get it. I know as a parent I try my best but when you have screaming toddlers and no sleep, yeah, I’m just going to buy that third replacement sippy cup off Amazon sometimes lol
Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Actually there are. Look up Fairphone and Shiftphone
toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 year ago
ah yes, the contrarian absolutist here. i don’t wear brands unless they’re second hand, i use the cheapest electronics to suit my needs & use them til they break. i make an EFFORT to reduce consumption & about large corporations when i can, what the fuck are you doing to help?
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 year ago
That’s not what I am doing.
My point is you make carve outs for yourself but somehow everyone else is terrible. That’s the point. Nuance exists. I agree you can’t do everything.
You are picking and choosing when to be absolutist and when nuance is allowed.

Get bent. You moralizing keyboard pseudo-activitist.
Why are you out right now on a picket line? Why are you wasting time on a forum, instead of helping the homeless? Why aren’t you…

This is the best reply to some smug fart-sniffing “oh THAT’s why you etc etc but WHY NOT OTHER THINGS?!” bullshit I’ve ever read.
triclops6@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Their points are still valid, being smug doesn’t erase that. And your being an aggressive cunt about it doesn’t further the conversation, it just entrenches people.
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
So being a smug self-important douche doesn’t entrench people, but calling out their smugness in a manner that you deem too aggressive does?
Got it.
themajesticdodo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just shut the fuck up and keep giving shitty corporations your money.
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Glancing at your comment history makes it pretty obvious that typing out angry comments is the only respite you have from a life where you feel worthless and lack the ability to take control enough to get out of your pit of despair. Normally, I’d take pity, but I genuinely think the world will get slightly better when you finally stroke out while hammering out yet another mean spirited and pointless comment that adds nothing of value, just like you.

I’m a full time activist actually lol, ive been protesting with picket signs for years around the country
circuscritic@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I travel the country doing woke anti-racist training in blue states, and based anti-reverse racism training in red states.

Have fun purchasing ethical power, food, textiles and electronics unless you're already rich working at a non fortune-500 company lol.
toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 year ago
i already do actually, been vegan for years, how about you?
blanketswithsmallpox@kbin.social 1 year ago
Very nice! I try to be as green as possible. Mostly due to being poor more than anything else lol.
Can't even remember the last time I've had a classic slab of red meat that wasn't ground already lol. Chicken is so much cheaper. I'm happy to report that dairy will be carbon neutral in the USA by 2050 too. Not separating calves from mom is becoming more and more popular too!
Szymon@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Those all impact others. Nobody gives a shit about others. This impacts them, which is the only thing that matters to pretty much everyone. Look out for #1.

Yeah, not sure how it took this to get people to finally cancel.
triclops6@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
It was those things for me, I cancelled Prime years ago and never buy from Amazon (I will browse however and reach out to the seller via their own website)
