  • This is really daft.

    It’s possible to participate in society in such a way as to uphold our beliefs about how society ought to be.

    If you want to complain about Apple’s abuse of employees, don’t buy their stuff.

    If you want to abolish slavery, don’t own any slaves.

    If you want to smash capitalism, buy a used thinkpad.

    Sure, there are some instances where this just isn’t possible in a complete and absolute sense. For example, I despise google, have invested a lot of effort in degoogling, but there remain some google components I rely on.

    However, the existence of these instances does not mean we don’t need to invest any effort in supporting the changes we want to see.
