  • Exactly! We can’t blame these companies and then buy their stuff and deflect all responsibility.

    It’s sort of a cycle that runs on apathy, ignorance, and lack of empathy.

    Powerful groups manipulate and coerce people and markets

    Manipulated, coerced people buy more of what they are pushed to

    Consumer votes in leaders that support this exploitative cycle making laws facilitating companies manipulating and coercing their behavior

    We need to break out of this cycle by conscientiously rejecting this manipulation, buying less, voting, running for office, etc. (i.e. degrowth)

    That’s dumb, I’m sure some think that because of racism but that can be said of anything. I think for most it’s due to the mystery about their construction that still remains and the seeming impossibility of moving huge numbers of truly massive blocks 6000 years ago. If it was an equivalent sized castle or something built with blocks that could be carried by one or two people there would be less motivation to look for crazy explanations.

    Not everything is racist.
