    Underrated comment - the top is filled with toxic scum. Like if one really looked into it, everything would have to be boycotted (not that it isn’t a worthy thing to do, but it gets exhausting and scumbags seem to own everything)

      That’s why life is hard for grownups. You have to decide what you think is important and not.

      With your way of seeing things it looks like no one should be criticised since no one is without sin?

        Sin is a fictional construct of control. I believe you meant “fault”, but felt it worth noting that the difference in terminology is immense.

          English isn’t my first language. It was a play on “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her".

            Yes, I presumed as much. My point stands, and “fault” would’ve fit more easily.

            Also, downvotes on Lemmy are not the petty things they are on Reddit, so let’s keep the disagreement civil and rational, instead. 🤗

      Underrated comment - the top is filled with toxic scum. True regardless of what side of the political spectrum you fall on.

      Calling something Ubiquitous isn’t arguing any point. It’s just a statement of observance. It’s not a call to action. It’s not a reason to do one thing or another. If anything, it’s a symptom. A pattern. And patterns can be a reason to change. Happens in psychology all the time. In fact looking for the patterns is in part in identifying a problem. So congrats on identifying something everyone else already knew. But you certainly can’t argue that a pattern as enough of a reason to not change a pattern.

      I don’t personally resonate with the idea of “boycotting” things, mostly for the fact that these companies will never miss the $20 I would have spent on them. “Boycot” to me, implies some sort of noticeable statement.

      For me, when Im thinking about getting a Chik-Fil-A or something, the question is simple: “Do I want to give my money to these people?”
