I&#x27;m going with yours for now.<p>&quot;Not researching the implications of each purchase you make in a thoroughly globalized world is not the same as saying &quot;I&#x27;d rather have people die than pay a bit more for my processor&quot;.&quot;<p>I disagree as many people in U.S. know about what capitalism, cheap labor, and other things result in. Just talk to a bunch of them sometime if you doubt that. What you&#x27;ll see is they know to some degree but put it out of their mind. It&#x27;s a problem but not <i>their</i> problem. It&#x27;s called an externality in economics but I call it not giving a shit.<p>In any case, I said I&#x27;d go with your version of things.

Which person fighting for good is now (a) intentionally harming people for the greater good or (b) disconnecting and selling their devices to prevent harm? They know now. So, the choice is informed and intentional.
