   Ah, the costs of behaving ethically. Very unpopular these days. Stupidity, though, now that it’s being promoted from the top, is popular as never before. But it’s a little different; instead of just being ignorant, you’re supposed to act like you know it’s all a political bender from the LEFTISTS, even when it can save your life, and mock and belittle anybody who isn’t as stupid as you are on the subject. It’s a real LOUD kind of ignorance, but the people who like it don’t care about that. They’ve got a TRUMP they’ve got to save!

   I know how to boycott unethical things, and I’m not on the left. More accurately, I don’t advocate every single thing that is often attributed to the American style “left”, but some of them I do.

   Actually, I associate boycotts way more with the “Right” than I do with the “Left.”

   I associate boycotts with companies being dicks. Most of the worlds clothing is produced in poor countries for pennies and clothing that isn’t is more expensive. Most of the worlds electronics are as well, but a local option doesn’t exist. Some gaming companies stuff endless microtransactions and DLC into their games for endless cash cows that can only be completed by spending thousands of dollars.

   It’s easy to boycott so long as what you’re giving up is something of luxury and not an essential item. So I boycott video game developers/publishers for being dicks and get coffee leaf tea because it’s a good idea *and* delicious, but there’s a level of ethical choices that can only be bought with more money.
