Ron Wright: "Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number. When the United Nations replied saying $6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end famine for the year, Musk never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for $44 Billion. You struggle and suffer because of people like him, not because your neighbor is an immigrant."

No, of course not.
It just means fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you.❞

TBF, it's very hard to consume ethically under capitalism, even in one subcategory. It's impossible if you don't have a time to make it a hobby/lifestyle.

For example, you can replace X with Mastodon, ofc, but not if you're into following political accounts. Then the alternatives are all commercial, and they're all fascist-adjacent.

@iju @clintruin @cairobraga @RonSupportsYou @aral "Consumotion" is always unethical per design.

  • I don't consider Socializing, Grocieries, etc. as "consumption", but survival…

I'm not in a situation where I can argue for any standardised meaning of a foreign word. In the context of my previous post, "consumption" includes any resource used, including food.
