    To regulate a corporation, you need very roughly 50% of the population to support the idea. To regulate YOUR BEHAVIOUR, it only takes your own cooperation. 10% of the people regulating their own behaviour is more effective than 10% of people voting to regulate corporations.

    Until you can figure out how to regulate corporations, you are morally obliged to stop yourself from fucking murdering vulnerable individuals. I know that’s a bitter pill but please don’t kick and fight. Do it or don’t but stop being an apologist for cruelty and violence.

      I agree with the sentiment but do you have any numbers to backup how its impact is better than regulating 10% of the companies? Cause that would actually help me understand the mechanics of that.

      We do, it’s called a government, they pass laws to regulate people and corporations, and have enforcers to enforce that regulation. They just need to have some teeth and do their job.

      Also you can cut that apologist shit out. It’s boring and it’s ineffective in getting people on your side. And you make your messaging and outreach effective cause guilt and shame are not effective tools to motivate people to change their behavior in the long run.

      Also, are you advocating for all vulnerable individuals? Or just animals? What about all the cruelty happening in the global south and western imperialism and hegemony? Or are you also an apologist for cruelty and violence on vulnerable non-western individuals? Like two can play that dumb game of who is the virtuest of us all but it’s dumb and ineffective and does more to divide us who have more in common and we lose everything that we collectively want.
