    Point me to the place to buy a fucking mop that doesn’t involve some asshole on the internet heckling me over it.

    Aliexpress.

    I have only used Amazon once in the last 2 years (it was a very specific tool that was sold literally nowhere else, even eBay, and was only like $20), Walmart a handful of times, and Target only for cat sand.

    If you can’t eliminate the harm you contribute to (which, fair, none of us can in America), you are responsible for minimizing it. Triage, sort of. Gotta choose between 3 shit companies? Evaluate which one is the least-shit and go that route.

    And that varies for everyone. The people who have a Walmart as their only source of fresh groceries within a 30 mile radius are going to need to shop at Walmart more often than I do, and that’s fine.

      “You can’t shop at Amazon, that’s unethical”

      “Where should I shop?”

      “Chinese Amazon”.

      Okay, bro.

        Correct, China is not currently engaged in a war of expansionism for the benefit of a genocidal apartheid occupation of land rightfully owned by the Palestinian people.

        They’re not perfect, but they’re the “lesser evil”. Don’t you liberals love that game?

        If nothing else, giving $17 to a corporation is quantifiably half as bad as giving $34. (EDIT: Not surprised at downvotes, I’ve learned Blue MAGA also hates basic math - such as “Holocaust Harris would’ve lost even if she secured every single third-party vote those for RFK Jr”)

          They’re not perfect, but they’re the “lesser evil”.

          The only people I hear who keep saying “China is a lesser evil” are the same ones insisting we were right to assassinate all those Iranian politicians.
