What? You won't "vote with your wallet" meaning you freely give your money to companies that do evil?
I buy what I need and don't subscribe to, "Think like me or I'll hurt you!". Companies don't do evil, individuals who work for them do. Boycotting a company might give you a nice warm glow of social justice, but it actually hurts lowest-level employees way more than CEOs. But why think about that when you can just downvote this comment as heresy, right?
That's a terrible take (no offense).
Continuing to buy Nestlé products as an example, just reinforces their use of slaves. Whoever it hurts not buying their products doesn't even cross my mind because I don't want to continue lining the pockets of slave owners with my money.
p.s. idk if nestle use slaves, just used them as an example i think they might tho
If I stop buying from Nestlé then the slaves wouldn't have a job any more. Duh.
Just kidding, fuck Nestlé. I've been boycotting for a couple of years although I do miss some of their cereals..
