Shitting on people for enjoying something isn’t good praxis, folks. Be mad at the system, not the victims of it.

Thanks for being the voice of reason. Wish more people could see things this way because I really hate when people start whining about my blood diamonds collection. I just like shinny shit, let me enjoy it ffs.
How utterly disingenuous to compare a fucking childrens book series to blood diamonds.

No matter what you purchase under capitalism, you are supporting bigotry and oppression to some degree. There is no escaping it. So instead of arguing about the arbitrary line at which the degree of separation is far enough removed before you can enjoy something without guilt, maybe start talking about actually dismantling the system that allows them to oppress others to begin with?

I’m a little confused why you suddenly want to start drawing lines about what’s ethical.
