There is no ethical consumption under capitalism bro, everything is equally bad
I won’t stop buying slaves until the state compels me not to, until then to each their own and let’s agree to disagree and I’ll have you know my family needs their labor
It’s great that you can live without slaves though, keep being an anti-slavery activist it’s awesome!
You’re the best!
I have said for years, the argument "vote with your wallets, folks!" is bad because:
"Hey if you don't like slavery, just don't buy slaves! Then everyone gets what they want."
"Vote with your wallet" is valid and often effective, but it's not enough on its own. Also vote with your voice, your democratic power, and when all else fails, bricks.
The classic 4 boxes of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
