It's weird how people always trot out phrases like "I'm just curious" or "I'm just asking questions here" when they try to justify exploitation. Is it so that you have plausible deniability when you inevitably get called on it? Because that doesn't work.


I see that you have pretty extreme takes on what constitutes "exploitation". It's one thing to pretend that you're not part of it if you live on another part of the planet and pretend globalization doesn't exist, but I was wondering how you'd avoid participating in it if you lived in the same country and economic bubble as the ones you claim are exploited.

If you had a morally consistent way to live that life, you'd have my respect. But no, you had to deflect the topic to a phrase I wrote and make presumptions about what I really meant.

FYI, I'm morally at ease with myself, I don't need to justify anything to anyone.
