It is curious that political action is not first and foremost in our minds, if at all. We take it for granted that all manner of immoral production and consumption will be permitted.
Instead passive and voluntary actions like simply not investing in companies and not buying their products - possibly framed as something more principled like divestment - is our default setting.
