They would rather live in a world where they can find everything, including 2℅ atrocities they indirectly fund, than not


I prefer that world too.

The only people morally responsible for committing atrocities are those who commit them.

You cannot in good faith actually argue that everyone is indirectly morally culpable for any action that is “enabled” by something they do.
