@antagonist I'm complicit in American war crimes by proxy of paying taxes to a government that sends missiles to a country that drone strikes children, and in November, I'll be complicit in casting a vote for a corrupt cop. And so, I speak up against these things and take action to reduce my complicity in these horrible things.

My criticism is of folks on Fedi who simultaneously hold the beliefs that freedom of speech and consumer rights are good while also cheering on Apple's new product launches a few months ago and throwing thousands of dollars into Tim Cook's pockets, all without experiencing a modicum of cognitive dissonance.

There's no ethical consumption under capitalism, so Average Joe is excused from being unethical. What I don't excuse Average Joe of is their behaving as if they're blameless for the failings of causes they claim to support.
