    But poor people don’t have the financial capacity to stop doing [harmful thing]

    So therefore, I as a privileged upper middle class person, refuse to not do the [harmful thing].

    Spoiler

    I like calling this sort of “I can still use my monster truck because poor people can’t afford to not buy fast fashion.” broken logic, “solidaritywashing”.

    Pretending to be empathetic to marginalised people but using it to perpetuate inequalities.

      As a liberal, literally the only thing I can conceive of doing is to vote for people who are making it worse within the legal bounds of a sham democracy established by a genocidal imperialist nation

      I guess if contributing to the bad things makes me bad, then there’s literally no other thing that I can do because it might cause me a modicum of personal discomfort

      tru. actualli i think harmful thing isnt so harmful after all when you think about it that way. just because its harmful sometimes doesnt mean it’s always completely harmful. i personally havnt been harmed. im sure its just being talked about like its harmful and actualli pretti harmless

            Yeah, those people who experience harm really need to empathize with us who don’t and the minor inconvenience we’d face if we grappled with harm. Think of the messaging!
