    :\ well that didn’t make me feel very good.

    I guess it’d be more appropriate to say that it’s difficult to be an ethical consumer under capitalism? Or maybe it’s difficult to be an ethical consumer period?

    I don’t know what a better system looks like. But waiting for companies to magically become ethical on their own doesn’t seem to be working.

      The point I’m making is there are shitty, awful people taking advantage of others regardless of whatever financial model your government is “running” today. Your argument was a blanket statement about capitalism.

      If you bought clothes made by Uighur slaves from communist China is that somehow more ethical than the capitalist clothing companies?
