It's almost as though none of these people have read any human history. When the ruling class oversteps, revolution follows. It's literally how the US came into being so anyone clutching their pearls is willfully ignorant, at best.
Yeah, these look like three different people. Mugshot doesn't look like the gunman, but does kinda resemble the taxi passenger. I'm not convinced this is the guy.
Ridiculously often. Most of the time, I'll type out most of a comment before realizing I just...don't care to engage and don't want to see replies.
If I'm low on spoons (which is most of the time), that's what'll happen unless I ---
Okay, just for the sake of giving as authentic an answer to your question as possible, I got bored of trying to organize my thoughts into coherent words at the "---“ and intended to delete. Didn't solely because of the question.
I don't disagree with you that slave labor is bad regardless of who, what, where, how. I disagree, however, that there's not much difference between purchasing products you need and investing in a business.
Some folks can't afford anything except cheap clothing/household goods from overseas, where they are often made in sweatshops with slave and/or child labor; it's not their fault that they can't afford to purchase ethical products. No one needs to invest in a business, though, so choosing to invest in one that deals in slavery is that investor's fault.
For those of us who can afford ethically-sourced/made items, though, I agree that it's quite similar. I have no excuses other than people are, as a whole, not good to each other. :(
Anyone voluntarily participating in the US for-profit prison system is, almost assuredly, a problematic person with questionable morals.
It's literally making money off of slavery. If you would not be proud to call yourself a slave-owner, I'd hope you would also not be proud to invest in slavery.
Woah, woah, hold up a minute. Since when are we expected to take personal responsibility? I intend to blame you when I cut off my nose to spite my face. You can't change the rules now!
