Well the average American isn’t sourcing their wealth/resources via unethical means

Where do you think things come from? Cars for example come from the car company are you saying the car company is ethical?

Define “things”, and I know consumer goods aren’t produced ethnically a majority of the time. But let’s run with your car example… Car A: produced using materials procured from a mine in Africa that employs slave labor vs. Car B: produced using materials procured from a mine in Africa as well

The consumer cannot abstain from purchasing a car as its the main driver of economic mobility (driving to and from work) but the billionare owner of the car manufacturing company is well aware of where their materials are sourced from…see where I’m getting at?

If they knowingly exploit slave labor or anything on a similar scale of evil, go ahead and roll out the guillotine

why care about anything then? if billionaires continue to exist, that means capitalism has continued to exit which means humanity will be extinct or near extinct within a century or so. At best maybe we’re reduced to literal hunting and gathering in the few parts of the world that are still inhabitable.

Climate change is doomer fantasy slop? We are literally on a trajectory for it to kill billions of people and are actually still making it worse rather than slowing it down. And capitalism fundamentally drives us to do that

Consumers can abstain from many things the idea that Americans are forced to live their current life style isn’t true. Americans don’t need ac in every building or the least fuel efficient cars.

So consumers are responsible for the evildoings of corporations and the ultra wealthy by default just because they participate? That’s ridiculous

Yes consumers to some extent control what they purchase. Do you disagree with this rlly?

But I would say the same thing about billionaires. I would say they have more autonomy than an average consumer but ultimately they’re responding to consumer demand. That’s why I would say the problem is the system, or the current incentives that are bad.

So I have to ask, what are your thoughts on lobbying? Considering how it utterly destroys your argument.

I think lobbying impacts some things that don’t have popular support behind them. I don’t think lobbying is good.

I feel like I already addressed this for the most part on my original post.

Or the current state of lobbying I don’t think is the best.
