Kid was completely broken, he needed care for his mental health, not jail. I understand it’s not always available though.

“Why are we still here? Just to suffer?”

Yo man, I think I have PTSD as well, from all the shit me and my wife have been through. You’re not alone in this shit, our society is a people grinding machine. We need to be strong and enjoy the little good things everyday. Wish you the best.

While I agree that we have a duty to avoid unethical brands whenever possible, there’s just no way to escape them all. I live in a poor country and I there’s a lot of “bad stuff” I have to buy just because it’s what I can affford at the moment.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Work until you have no more energy left to live. Wait for your day off from work to live. Don’t live because you have no energy left (plus the anxiety from having to work the next day). Feel like shit because you wasted your day off.

Repeat, repeat, repeat and die.
