Amd that’s why enchantress is in my destroy deck.
Every deck should have at least 2 basic control cards even if they don’t fit the style of the rest of the deck in my opinion.
People have watered down the intended meaning of that phrase to the point that it’s basically just this now:
“How dare you shame me for doing a thing!?!?!?!!??”
You seem to be missing the point. If the line is, “Capitalism causes harm at every level of production,” then do you ignore all of the harm caused under capitalism? The obvious answer is to limit the amount of harm you cause, not to ignore all of the harms that capitalism causes.
“How about instead of being a dick online to people you go and take that $70 you would have spent on that game and donate to an org that serves the transgender community?”
No, you’re missing the point. “No ethical consumption under capitalism” means I have to accept that at some point, in order to participate in society, I will have to give my money to people who are immoral. It does not mean that it’s ok to give your money to somebody you know is awful because you want a luxury good.
Needs to be in 80 point font, bold, and underlined for clarity.
There is no purely ethical consumption under capitalism. There is, however, LESS ethical consumption under capitalism.
Your restaurant example is bad because they’re BOTH terrible places that you shouldn’t be supporting.
My favorite thing as a trans person is when a not trans person tells us how we can serve our community better. Fuck all the way off with that shit. Maybe once half the country starts passing laws to make your existence illegal, you'll have a little more understanding. Until then, shut your fucking mouth
That phrase is not a “get out of jail free” card for buying whatever you want without thinking about where your money goes.
Here is a news flash for people, Rowling is going to be flush with cash from the residuals from her books and the movies the rest of her life, not buying a game isn’t going to hurt her in the slightest.
Good!
Thank you for writing this. This article is as infuriating as it is willfully stupid
“Sure, you could make the connection that buying the Harry Potter game directly lines She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named’s pockets, but as we know, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.”
yeah a video game is a PURE luxury you can divest from. It’s not like coca cola or nestle who own huge percentages of the food market thus making areas where they have no competition.
Your professor, Eleazor Fig, dies at the end and Rookwood is the one who cursed Anne and framed the goblins
Good!
