You aren’t special in some frontier town that only buys things from local grocers and smiths your own tools.
Even those shops you are buying from are sourcing dozens of products that are exploitative or damaging. That’s what globalization is, as well. It’s impossible to escape exploitation in a global supply chain, and even the most local producers are buying things from international companies to do their work.
No matter what your hands are stained, we all don’t have a choice but to participate. It’s a real drag!
This is the one thing I regularly get so mad about. 99% of people I know have the means to shop responsibly but act so helpless and get so defensive of their need to buy nonsense from Walmart and Amazon. I realize I’m acting very high and mighty but I have family in very poor parts of Mexico, I’ve seen how awful their working conditions are, let alone the kids in sweatshops in China. I sound like a jerk/troll because I’m so fucking pissed that everyone can’t be bothered to care.
