Mega-corporations have the option to locate their headquarters where they get tax benefits, are cappable of outsourcing their operations overseas where they basically have slaves working for them, reference “Rotten” on netflix for some of the food related ones, we know about the diamond industry “Blood Diamonds”, and corporations like Apple, Nike, etc having child workers in developing countries. On top of basically paying nothing to their workers, they price gouge the fuck out of the consumers and have the influence to hide or at least distract from all the attrocities. Then there's the climate impact from single use plastics, which is also propagandized to be the fault of consumers.
Most of us have to worry about paycheck to paycheck and decision fatigue has us basically incappable of doing any significant difference.
Is it just me, or does it seem impossible to hope for a future in this scenario. Coupled with “maybe societal collapse wouldn't be worse than this system.”
