And you are the one voting for them. A government isn’t an isolated entity, people vote for them in democratic countries.
However, it’s much easier for people to vote with their wallets in their everyday life (for ex. by buying from companies with certain environmental policies or labour policies) than to expect governments to change.
You can choose to buy a phone or computer that is less involved in this type of behaviours.
- tinus_hn 6y agoWhat kind of phone would that be?
- can16358p 6y agoWhile these phones exist, they are practically not much of a use for 99% of the population as many of the basic apps aren't available.

- Angostura 6y agoWhat would you vote for? A complete, immediate cessation of economic activity involving mainland China?
- ryandrake 6y agoUnfortunately, no electable party offers this choice, at least in the USA. Both major parties pay the bare minimum lip service to opposing authoritarian regimes, but neither of them actually do anything substantial. EDIT: That said, it’s hard for a country to unilaterally effect change in another sovereign country without going to war. Hell, how many countries embargo North Korea and it has no effect?
