Let’s remind ourselves this is a company actively supporting genocide.

force her into submission

coercing her to leave

You conclude there’s forcing and coercion from 2 sentences? I just see two people with apparently incompatible moral values about consumption. I don’t see any forcing or coercion. I think it’s a very valid reason. If he has or is willing to put patience into the relationship is also a decision he has to take.

Don’t forget they have been basically stealing the required Uranium from African Sahel countries like Niger for decades.

The effect of one person’s passive boycott is nothing.

This is some centrist capitalism-enabling shit. The sum of our individual efforts can amount to great things. Boycotts have been a great tool against fascism throughout history.

Imho there are different aspects to this: are they binge buying useless stuff on Amazon constantly, feeding into mindless consumerism? are there more ethical alternatives available?

If someone uses Amazon for something they can’t find anywhere else, or that the alternative costs so much more they can’t afford it, then I understand. If they are just a mindless consumer and they do nothing to change that, they lose my respect.

At the same time, if that is a reason you are considering to break up with someone, imo it tells your relationship is not very solid to start with.

my bank app refuses to run if the installation source is not Google Play Services. I make a private space with GPS for the app and that solves my issue.

Europe has never stopped having Nazis

Providing intelligence is taking ACTIVE part in the genocide. Your comment claimed that UK government does not. Profiteering IS bad, you should remove the “might”.

I haven’t talked about borders or the start of the conflict, you are confusing threads/users. But if you mention it to me, you should read about The Balfour Declaration

The Balfour Declaration was a public statement issued by the British Government in 1917 during the First World War announcing its support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, then an Ottoman region with a small minority Jewish population.

USA will aid Jamaica in the form of touristic corporations that will privatize their land (most of Jamaica’s beaches are already restricted to locals), massive cruise ships full of ignorant tourists, and all this will report net negative value to their citizens because its exploitative nature. But the GDP will go up

Brit gov is part of it:

The government granted 108 licences for military and non-military controlled goods to Israel between 7 October 2023 and 31 May 2024, according to data released in June 2024.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) has conducted at least 519 surveillance flights around Gaza since December 2023, an investigation by Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) for Declassified UK has found.

There are many more examples but these are the most obvious.

You said it yourself

They lobby for everything they can get to benefit their business, and often get it. A lot of citizens want a better alternative but can’t get it because Oil industry has corrupted our officials. They lie about the dangers of climate change. This and their lobbying makes it so that many citizens didn’t (and still don’t) know what kind of problem they are part of. Oil lobbies corrupted scientists, media and politicians so the uneducated and the not-so-uneducated thought that climate change was not real. Many of them now have realized their lies and we are all in our 100% legitimate right to blame them and fight them.

The reason so many suburbanites complain about bike lanes it’s because oil companies pay and spread propaganda that has convinced them that it will affect their lives negatively.

A lot of people have to buy that metal box because there is no reasonable alternative, when your politicians, bought by oil lobbies, don’t invest or even work against public transportation.

And then there’s people like you that, when people try to do better, criticize them because they have a infinitesimal part of the guilt.

Make yourself the question: how does genai respect these 3 boundaries set by IP law? All providers of Generative AI services should be forced by law to explicitly estate this.

He’s already doing this. We worry too much about “oh how bad would the backlash be?” but we are already heading for X,com-powered fascism, what’s to lose?

As an European, I think the obscene amount of lobbying we allow to happen around EU institutions is something that makes “European democracy is just as bad” sound reasonable.

This. So many Europeans act with superiority because “at least we don’t shoot kill them” when looking at US police brutality, but e.g. we ignore how those cops in US mostly use Glocks made in Austria, making us part of the problem (and making a profit out of it). Or if we look at the deaths numbers, we ignore the many deaths the “protection” of our borders cause.

“They would prefer instead an increase in the basic salary of restaurant employees.” Crazy how indoctrinated the Swiss are
