The difference is agency. The people that chose to drink those drinks were able to make that decision, not helpless to some corporation.
You don't get to choose not to be assassinated by a Russian agent.
- vkou 7y agoThat's a load of crock. By that same argument, since you have the agency to think for yourself and vote however you want, foreign propaganda should have zero impact on our elections. I also don't have any choice in whether or not I personally get to deal with the negative social impacts of overconsumption of sugary drinks, overextraction of fossil fuels, or politicians bought by the healthcare cartels. I have to live with all of it.
