A billionaire's birthday party will create more pollution in a day than you will create in a lifetime.
Don't focus on what you are doing, focus on getting good people elected so we can change the system.
Port que no los dos?
We should reward companies striving to be ethical instead of contributing to shareholders of unethical companies.
Shein only exists because people keep giving them money. There is great power in where we choose to spend our money.
Also I'd like to add that the whole billionaires do it so I don't care anymore is a shitty argument. I care because I care, not because of someone else's actions, and I can't turn off the part of my heart that cares because someone else did it. I just want to know who to believe because I need to be clothed in public and I'd like to enrich the least bad guy. Fully aware that the men who move only in dimly lit halls determine my future for me
You ate good people!!
I've been feeling down lately because people around me don't seem to care. Seeing you passion made my day better!!
I didn't eat any people, how dare you (happy you're happy and I know what you're dealing with)
Hahaha damn auto correct!!
Let's eat the rich instead!
Lol when I read that I was like oh no they caught me eating all the good ones
Just top clarify, I didn't say not to care. I think that there are certain things we can and should do, but it's more important to build a powerful movement than to focus on individual effort.
Yeah it's not gonna do anything if you pressure individuals to make difficult choices and spent a lot of time shopping and we shouldn't expect a poor working mother to buy from ethical companies, excuse the oxymoron, but I do have time and a tiny bit of money and I just want to know where to focus my efforts. If you want to build a powerful movement I'm all ears, but if you're just saying that like a catchphrase that's just noise
PREACH! Forreal I will never dream of buying Shein or the like and encourage everyone to vote with their money. I just want some decent clothes where I can actually trust the label.
