every major corporation is corrupt. you’re using a phone (i’m assuming), which is probably an iphone or android- which is run by the people in power (head of those companies) that fund these wars. there’s no way around it even though it’s fucked up. regardless of what you do, everything is set up in a way that circulates money back to corruption, upholding every corporation and business that exists. the worlds fucked up 😭

your points are correct but that doesn’t mean you should just give in to every corporation. starbucks is much much easier to avoid than having a phone, which you literally need to do just about anything in the world today.

I buy my phones second hand because of that reason. I also don’t support starbucks and i make my own coffee at home. there are ways to try and not actively support genocides. just because someone is using a phone doesn’t mean they have to support all corrupt companies because they are using a phone.

Personally it depends for me. Usually Mango Dragonfruit with Lemonade, but if I want something different and they have lavender I get iced Matcha with Lavender. Rarely a pink drink

exactly this!! get you’re morning coffee from starbucks each morning is contributing more than buying a phone every few years.

everything you do and everything you purchase does that anyway. i don’t buy starbucks either for this reason (bc it makes me feel like i’m doing smth) but realistically it doesn’t matter when the money inevitably ends up there

yes and where you buy the coffee goes to a company that pays taxes that goes to the government and guess where that goes? not saying it’s good to buy from things directly supporting the genocide but looking at it in a realistic way, it’s inevitable

i make my purchases based on a companies ethics. this is your issue, you think “i might as well buy from the company that DIRECTLY SUPPORTS and actively DONATES to a genocide”. just do some research because what your saying is not true at all.

there’s no ethical company in america and it’s designed that way. they can support a cause but the money they pay the government to legally run the business ends up in unethical hands anyway. you gotta look deeper into it it’s fucked up

taxes vs revenue. buying from starbucks and giving them revenue is contributing more money to a genocide than an ethical company paying taxes. i don’t know why you are trying so hard to justify this.

there are ethical companies they may be less mainstream and more expensive but there are. i think a better word to use would be businesses but there are ethical ones

but that’s the issue because it does matter where we put our money. targets annual revenue went down from the boycotts. if we supprime these boycotts in mass numbers change can happen. but you saying “it’s gonna happen either way” isn’t right.

I need a phone to survive. you don’t need coffee is the difference. That’s quite literally the name of the game when it comes to boycotting. that all or nothing mindset is helpless, which I am not.

its so easy to not support the worst ones though. give your money to local coffee places instead of huge chains that are literally known to union bust. deflecting any sort of personal responsibility through the arguments of “one person wont make a difference” or “no ethical consumption under capitalism so it doesn’t matter who you support” are terrible and also logical fallacies.

“no ethical consumption under capitalism” doesnt mean it doesnt matter where you shop. the phrase exists to make you think about where youre spending. but supporting local businesses instead of ones that union bust and support zionism is stupid. you are trying to remove yourself from any personal responsibility but thats just not true. every one of your actions has consequences whether positive or negative. nobody is saying op is bad for wanting coffee. you have no reading comprehension

I never said that was a positive subject. I said they need to go about spreading awareness in a positive way, not by bashing other people on an anonymous app about something they’re not educated on.
