Like I said, I don’t drink it because it tastes like shit.

We are really at the stage, and unless you are secretly a billionaire, where every cent we spend eventually ends up in the hands of a corporation that does shitty things and sucks.

Negative you can still choose not to give your money to people that should not have a cent of it.

Do you put gas in your vehicle? Do you drive an electric? Do you eat anything you don't grow or see harvested?

Biodiesel, home still, root cellar, and research. Knowing who you are giving your money to is as important as who you choose to vote for, being ignorant isn't an excuse.

You are on the internet so your device has a battery made from elements mined by child slave labor in a third world country. Your biodiesel had a precursor which was either sourced from a large conglomerate and harvested using petroleum products or do you only use fat from your own harvest to make it? Your self righteousness is refreshing but completely naive.

Nobody is arguing that. Only pointing out your self righteousness is naive.

Lol lies I have to tell myself to sleep at night. Because I'm an informed consumer that makes decisions based upon who I'm actually doing business with instead of just blindly being complicit, that's why you said that. Nice retort, would you also say you were just doing your job working at a concentration camp?
