I'm actually trying my best not to buy from countries I see as vile and inhumane, and businesses owned by people who support vile political ideologies. Spend a good amount of time checking for the brand and country of origin while in the shop.
You're not weird, just more dedicated to being a moral person than most. π
Interestingly, according to the common interpretation also mentioned by @fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone this is not normal.
but what is it, if not normal?
Have you read the amount of responses in this post? π
No way the definition of normal I gave is the common one. At some point it doesn't really matter what the dictionary says, if enough people change the meaning of a word they use, it changes meaning.
Still interesting to look at the roots of a word to see original meanings and so on though.
Some people argue that you as a single buyer won't make a corporation go bankrupt. Saying that, they mean they would just go for cost/efficiency when buying themselves, ignoring the moral aspect, cause their contribution isn't gonna be noticeable. After all, it's not their fault, it's the government/capitalism/<whatever_else>.
I find this argument ridiculous cause 20 cent bullets kill people.
Have you had any success? How? Every time Iβve started down that road, itβs a maze of twisty passages, all alike
The packaging generally have production address and distributor, and maybe a brand. So a quick web search if have doubts.
But yeah I wish it was simpler.
