      There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. Let’s not judge others by the food they eat, that doesn’t do anything but divide us further.

        That phrase applies more to things you can’t reasonably stop consuming, like plastics.

        There are a few exceptions where there’s one capitalist producer who is significantly more divisive than the alternatives, and switching costs are extremely low.

          Cool strawman, bro.

          This thread is about inflation and price gouging. It is not about individual corporations political leanings.

              lol that’s literally a strawman.

              Denying the truth doesn’t make it go away.

              Cheers bud.

                  Have fun blindly funding other bigots while judging people over arbitrary bullshit.

                  Enjoy the benign prison you’ve crafted for yourself.

                  Have fun creating your own special brand of prejudice

                  I hope you don’t have any children you’ve fed any Gerber products. Or any haagen dazs ice cream. Or kit Kats, or Perrier sparkling water, or feed your pets Purina, Alpo, friskies, or use tidy cats kitty kitter. Hope you don’t enjoy smarties, or shredded wheat cereal, consume literally any frozen foods that weren’t produced by a local company, use toll house chocolate chips, or consume any cookies that do (most). I hope you don’t sleep on a purple mattress, or enjoy in n out. Hope you’re not drinking any Bullit Bourbon. Or Budweiser. Or Stella. Or becks. Or Busch. Or corona. Or fosters. Or goose island. Or wicked weed. Or Michelob. Or miller.

                  Hope you don’t own any Sony products. Or apple. Or Samsung. Or Huawei.

                  Hope you’ve never flown American Airlines. Hope you’ve never bought anything from Victoria’s secret, McDonald’s, Walmart, Applebee’s, amazon, JCPenney, Verizon, sprint, Starbucks, or Wendy’s. Home Depot. Toyota. Motorola, FedEx, UPS.

                  Hope your bank isn’t affiliated with fidelity investments, jpmorgan chase, Wells Fargo, Citi group, or PNC. Or… boa, td, or… any bank. I hope you don’t use banks.

                  Dipshit.

                  Go on, keep making our world more divisive by judging anyone who has given any money to any of those institutions. Or go live off the grid and stfu.

                  Your ISP certainly donated to the GOP over the last decade; get off the internet.
