you have 'be gay do crime' in your bio but are you normal about poor people, especially poor people who have a different environment to you, doing things you deem unethical because that is the only available option
#redboots speaks
#I feel like because 'there is no ethical consumption under capitalism' got swung around to 'therefore it's ok to buy things willy-nilly'
#there's been a swing back to what the original statement was critiquing which is 'if you can't buy ethically don't buy it'
#that's all well and good! until the only options you have are all unethical
#and then when someone only has unethical options and says 'if this is your only option then it is ok
#you won't go to hell or anything for doing something unethical'
#oh no the poor person who can't avoid sweatshop labour is advocating for slavery instead of simply wearing
#rags or the most boring shit from a bargain shop which is also made with sweatshop labour which is defo more ethical
#not like not being able to express yourself is a form of dehumanisation. and I don't care if that sounds extreme
#because whilst it usually isn't combine that with everything else a poor person might do.
#tbf this situation I'm being vague about I didn't fully understand the whole situation of but my point about
#people needing to be normal about poor people having to do things they don't think they should
#it's like how people got all huffy about the shoplifting trend on here. yeah of course there were shitty rich people
#doing it for attention but that's what rich people do. don't discourage something poor people do because of rich people doing it too
#yeah I'm defo still mad about that. I know I was a bit standoffish and a dick about it at the time
#I know that that was because i was tired and therefore felt provoked
#and then got mad and ranted a bit at that dumbass commenter who COMPLETELY misread what I was saying
#I know I went about it the wrong way but I was in the right for getting mad at how much of a 'how dare you say we piss on the poor' that wa
#it's especially that commenter I'm mad about. because it was just a complete and utter refusal to accept there could be nuance to an issue
