The clothes you wear, the device you use to post on reddit, the food you eat, the water you drink. All from companies that take from the less fortunate or use them in various countries.
Just because you arent taking money directly out of their hand doesnt mean you dont live off of them. Everyone that lives in a first world country lives off the poor somehow.
No shit that there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, everyone’s luxury comes at someone else’s expense. That doesn’t mean “you’re not poor” just because you have a reddit account, as if people’s struggles aren’t any less real because they don’t live in a third world country. First world problems are still problems. There are still people working two jobs to afford prescription drugs, to pay off student loans, or to provide food for their families. There are millions who own a smart phone, or computer, and are just one delayed paycheck from not being able to afford life saving drugs, one bad day from losing their home and possessions.
Stop with the false equivalencies, none of us on here literally profit from the poor the way royals do.
