Am I financialy enabling child labor in 3rd world country by buying second hand fast fashion from Thrift shop and Vinted? Because I am not the one who originally bought the clothes from Shein. But buy buying it again from someone else I still use it uhhuhh this is complicated.
Well, with that logic the end conclusion is to unalive oneself or everyone else. That would Truly truly rob anyone from advertising harm.
You’re making a slight mistake in your logic. The endgoal isn’t the end of advertising, the goal is to not participate in furthering harm. That word ‘participation’ acknowledges that harm exists. And it doesn’t seek to end it but asks how you live with the fact of it existing.
I’m actually of the opinion that humanity needs to get off this rock as soon as possible. The uncomfortable truth is that fewer humans would in fact help the environment, and none would be even better.
The problem is with how to implement that without it turning into murder.
Hence, we leave.
