If American companies like Apple would stop producing phones overseas and made them here in America where workers have more human rights, this wouldn’t be as large of a problem. But greedy corporations don’t care. As long as they can save money and make a massive profit

Anyone have the "yet you participate in society" comic saved? >

You hate slavery yet your shirt is made of cotton, checkmate Lincolnite >

Do you also call out peasants revolting using pitchforks provided by their feudal overlords? >

Bang! >

Data slave thinks he's not a slave because he gets to choose his master. >

There are so many double standards in society it’s not even funny.. This barely brushes the surface. >

“There is no ethical consumption under capitalism” - 🤓 >

Ethics is a human invention.  Let people be free. >

It’s not the consumer’s fault. That is also a falsehood proselytized by the slaveholders. >

We’re all using them to say something, might as well use it to say something beneficial >

I'd happily buy a device not made that way.  Except.. the problem is, with globalisation and corporation's all exploiting cheap labour.. it's basically not possible 
Even if the phone wasn't built by slave labour.  What about the modules that they used??  Then what about the individual electronic components that went into each module.  Then what about the raw materials used to press out those electronics?  Then what about the people who mined the materials?
Everyone is stepping on each others toes so much it's basically impossible to avoid.. 
And if you wanted to boycott the fortune 500 companies and opt out of global corporations dominance and exploitations you'd literally have to live in a cave down by a river somewhere.. >

What you mean to say is “I want to live a certain way and benefit from the things available to me. And I don’t want to live at a level lower than this, therefor I say it’s impossible to give up on these hypocritical aspects of my life.”
FTFY >

Sure. But since we are all here reading this we are all saying this. >

Absolutely, anyone who is here on Reddit complaining about those things(like OPs post) is just a big ol hypocrite.
Like damn, at least have SOME integrity. At least I’m aware that for some people(such as myself), for us to to take a dump while browsing Reddit on my phone, someone else has to suffer immeasurably. And none of us are willing to give up the way we live to rectify that situation.
