ok, cool, what can an exploited worker do to not contribute to the exploitation of workers? find a separate supply chain of good and services where the excess value of their labor is returned to them? don't worry, captain neoliberal is here to save the day with voting with our wallets! my loving $3k of shopping a year is going to collapse amazon, target and walmart when i go spend it at costco to buy the same goddamn things that the other places sold.

while we are moralizing and acting like terminally online idiots, what is the most evil corporation? ExxonMobil, Nestle, Monsanto, DuPont, Philip Morris and Halliburton come to mind for me as being more evil than Amazon but I’m probably missing some obvious ones. of course this is dumb to assign morality to a corporation but lol

indigi posted:nobody loves Amazon prime you absolute dipshit What's the difference between what you're saying and what someone would say as a cognitive dissonance solution because they just actually love using amazon and can't imagine giving it up? I can't think of any which is why I can't take that side. I would just question my own motives too much and it'd freak me out.

You have to interact with capitalism to survive and there's no "right" thing to do. But understanding that and getting on with it is different than jumping on someone for trying to do the right thing. If people want to boycott amazon good. gently caress them and that's it.

Muscle Wizard posted:i get the medication i need to not die from cvs. youre afraid of losing your two day shipping. lol the whole loving point is that we're stuck in an immoral system. you're not suddenly becoming good because you consume differently. the world is not a better place because you bought your pfizer dick pills from cvs instead of walgreens or amazon. every single choice you had was bad, you picked a bad one, and you're loving crowing about how great it is that you spent money at a mid level capitalist corporation instead of a capitalist megacorp?

you just need to be an informed consumer guys. you should just have an expert level knowledge on the supply chain to make sure the seafood you buy isn't slave harvested from a protected area, the chocolate you buy isn't picked by children, the coconuts you buy aren't from monkeys, the beef was treated kindly, the chickens could walk around freely. make sure your fruits and vegetables weren't picked by exploited immigrants. make sure every single thing you buy doesn't have palm oil from deforested areas. make sure the metals in your car were ethically sourced. then you can pick the right retailer at the very end of the system. if you don't do all this research you're a bad leftist

PokeJoe posted:was that the result of a boycott or bad press? I think bad press, social media criticism, political pressure and boycotts are all connected. When you see chuds posting about boycotting coke they know that the actual market pressure is nothing, but the social media backlash can make things happen. If they can generate a meme that ted cruz wants to latch onto they might end up with an actual change taking place. I view boycotts like propaganda. It's just to get people talking about it. I know Amazon issues crazy press releases and gets all worked up about mean tweets, we saw that on the amazonnews twitter account this month. I think at the executive level they are operating under some illusion of being normal people and it bugs them to see wide swaths of the internet talking poo poo about them, and then combined with political pressure like from Bernie on the $15/hr they end up giving up some ground to try to placate people.

Peanut President posted:im a vegetarian can i be smug Time to become vegan, you chicken exploiter. Harm reduction through consumption is something I try to do, so I'm vegan and don't buy anything from Nestle or Coca-Cola. So many corporations are arguably the most evil, but Nestle killing thousands of babies every year and Coca-Cola sending mercenaries to kill union organizers stand out.

If they are the only people in town offering "good" jobs, they have extreme leverage over local government.

Leftism is when you loudly shout at other people about which specific evil capitalist you give your money to. Lenin very famously wrote about how consumerism is the primary battleground and having the right logo your random garbage is the true mark of a committed revolutionary.
