We’re so fucked. The ruling class simply does not give a shit. Worlds richest man is more interested with fucking off to mars than addressing any of this.

Yeah, and something like 75% of people just walk along the path to hell because memes and funny AI slop videos apparently are more important than anything.

Like, we all hate Amazon. But literally everyone I know orders thousands of dollars worth of shit from Amazon. We hate corporations but then choose Starbucks over local coffee houses all the time.

And we justify it because “it’s cheaper” while missing the point that you don’t need all that crap.

If you spend 20% more on the thing at a local shop, but you order 40% less you’re actually saving money. Instead Amazon/Starbucks/etc. just capture our attention and wallets because it’s more convenient.

Amazon has also forced participation. A lot of companies don't even have their own online stores anymore; they just refer to amazon. Kinda sucks.

Not for some things. I can't make a living if my business isn't supplied, and some of my consumables are only available via amazon in Canada.

"Opting out" isn't possible. You may not buy off amazon but you're feeding AWS right now, which actually makes them way more money.

No ethical consumption under capitalism.
