Save your breath. The vast majority just want to stroke it to rage bait. Rational thinking is not wanted.

Oh, and let us not forget these fine protesters:

And why should I make any deportation difficult? It has nothing to do with me.

I wonder how this impacted his professional life before and after he found out.

The blanket was a gift, Todd, I'm keeping it.

"...just a greedy boy"

"...born and raised in east Manhattan"

For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

It's important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn't be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.

Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah that's not how this works.

It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren't OK with that, or you don't.

Not OP, but your smart phone may not have been assembled with child labor, but some of the components/minerals used in its construction have been tied to child labor in the past.

Most people aren’t OK with that.

What evidence can you provide to support this, or is this simply your opinion?

Cool. But why advertise it?

Haha who the hell made this? This reads like a basement dwellers wet dream. "fight the man! Fight the machine!.....from our keyboards!"

I didn't vote for him, but I am chillin'. The president, whoever that may be, has little impact on a citizens day to day life. I am far more concerned of who the governer of my state is.

I didn't doubt it's still happening somewhere; just curious how wide spread it is. I read the third link. It was interesting. I wasn't aware the Justice department spent almost 2.5 years going after lenders.

Your comment made me think of this:

Americans always think they have the market cornered on everything. As if slavery and racism didn't exist until the 18th century.

Do you have a recent example of someone who was denied an opportunity, that is afforded to everyone, based solely on their race?

Well when you scrape the top layer of reddit mold, which is comprised of the most politically and socially charged individuals, and put them in one place, this is to be expected.

So I pulled out my robe and wizard hat.

How does one not feel safe on a digital platform? Even if someone physically threatens you, nothing is going to happen to you. And you can block/mute people you don't care for.

I still use it. For that which I engage, or who I engage with, it hasn't changed for me. Almost 100% for metal bands. Tours, album releases. We have a pretty cool metal community going. People I've been speaking with for many years now.

Leaving a platform you don't like, or the reasons you don't like it, isn't "common sense".
