- const_cast 1y agoFree market and money vote and yadda yadda yadda requires consumers to be aware of and mobilize on boycotts. If we want competition, anti-consumer practices to disappear, price transparency, privacy, and on and on, then we need to be willing to mobilize on a boycott on the grounds of ethics or morality. We all have this theory of the invisible hand and market dynamics but as soon as people actually, you know, practice that then we get a sour taste in our mouth. The truth is cancel culture, or whatever you want to call it, is fundamental to capitalist economies in a classical sense.
- djaychela 1y agoIs there a problem with that? It's difficult to tell from your post whether you think that's a good idea, other than the quotes which intimate you think the ethics are off?
- jraph 1y ago> It's difficult to tell from your post whether you think that's a good idea The quotes around ethical and the misuse of the word "cancel" makes me think they pretty much don't like whatever the site author is doing.
