Although i rarely buy online and try to boycott Amazon, the problem is that there are no better alternatives, especially here in Europe. I don’t know about the US but I try to buy from European stores but unfortunately there just isn’t a warehouse with the same catalogue as Amazon. And trying to usurp Amazon in Europe will taka a while.

I’m in Australia, and yet, I manage just fine

You’re making excuses. You know what you are doing.

How about we switch places and see if you could manage to browse online stores in different languages and see what you’re looking for.

It’s easy to be naive.

Wildberries?

The Russians are sanctioned!

You don’t say

He just did!

Funny hat you had last Halloween

You say true. I try my best but I’m at least 15% complicit. Hopefully that’ll change in the future. I’m from Canada and still pissed off that the federal government is still using Twitter to communicate.

Also, if you want to buy online there are plenty of other stores with better deals. I don’t understand why people would use Amazon beside for their client support.

Sure, but also, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

It’s functionally impossible to ethically buy all the things you need and want. Yes we should all try to do our best and not just give up, but the actual solution is with systemic changes in our laws and regulations and how we set up our society. Everyone should focus on that long-term goal, while making small changes to their behavior. But that simply isn’t feasible for everyone to do and that is the bigger issue.

And anyone who has a retirement holding index funds is also complicit?

I am lucky enough to live in a civilised country, rather than 'Murica

My retirement fund is an ethical one. They don’t invest in firearms, tobacco, oil or any of the other shitty things out there

What do they invest in?

Renewable energy seems to be a big one

Once they excluded the shit I didn’t want, I didn’t go any further into it
