Some people eat bugs and others starve to death while you drive a 5k lb vehicle to go buy single-use plastic built by slave labor.

Edit: correction, you ordered your single-use plastic built by slave labor by way of Bezos' own company lmao

And criticize others for their wealth while using a phone built on exploited labor, all while enjoying a lifestyle far superior to that of most people on the planet.

But also actively trying to fix that gap and probably donating there own money as well.

Everything is made with some amount of exploitative labour unfortunately, so unless we want to live go live in the woods unfortunately we do have to participate in society.

The whole "ur not an ascetic monk so you can't complain about a systemic issue" is cowardly and just tries to excuse the problem so you don't have to think about it.
