      Have you read the amount of responses in this post? 😂

      No way the definition of normal I gave is the common one. At some point it doesn’t really matter what the dictionary says, if enough people change the meaning of a word they use, it changes meaning.

      Still interesting to look at the roots of a word to see original meanings and so on though.

      Some people argue that you as a single buyer won’t make a corporation go bankrupt. Saying that, they mean they would just go for cost/efficiency when buying themselves, ignoring the moral aspect, cause their contribution isn’t gonna be noticeable. After all, it’s not their fault, it’s the government/capitalism/<whatever_else>.

      I find this argument ridiculous cause 20 cent bullets kill people.
