It’s difficult to read this and not feel less empathetic toward you. Such desperation to feel superior without any clear indication that you are invested in actually embodying a set of morals yourself.
If you care, you should take the time to explore inconvenient explanations for why this happens and refuse satisfaction with actionless answers.
I live my life as simply as possible, and I don’t feel superior to anyone. Having said that I stand by my reply. Just because it evoked some feeling of shame from you isn’t my problem.
“… I don’t feel superior to anyone… . … evoked some feeling of shame from you isn’t my problem.”
You can’t even pretend to be an honest person without trying to suggest other people are less morally pure than you. This is not a simple life, it is a dishonest one. I will not be responding again, obviously. There’s no conversing with people who lie to themselves.
This is a good question to ask. This person is not very critical of what they’ve said and is clearly satisfied with liberal (as in liberalism) explanations for people’s behaviour.
Their point is that people are just fundamentally bad and that is why these companies make profit despite an apparently universal condemnation of their actions. It’s shallow, inaccurate, and is only useful to feel morally superior to some imagined decadent group that they believe is the source of this problem.
Your point?

Missing nuance.

Ok, bud!
Ethics are in shambles.
Disagree.
His point is simple enough that you should understand. Use your brain.
Ah. Good luck to you.
