> This enormous global system of powerful corporations and nation states crafted this system because it was in their best interest. While that is true, typically the customers in aggregate have far more power, both in monetary powers (it's a distributed power), and in democratic powers. Yes there's lobbying in the US, but if individuals gave $25 per voter to their desired cause they'd exceed the lobbying power. ($3.5B lobbying vs 168M voters from quick googles). > Feels sort of tone deaf to say "well, you got what you deserved, you created this sytem by buying this specific computer and cheaper food!" Except that it was introspective, not finger pointing. I do prefer a system where i get to choose as opposed to mandated.
