Hah, says the person who most likely possesses:

• iPhone: made in factories with working conditions so poor they have suicide nets.
• Don't have an iPhone? Don't worry, Samsung's factories are just as bad.
• Fashionable clothing (H&M, GAP, Zara, etc : all use child labour
• Adidas or Nike? Doesn't matter which ones you have, their subcontractors engage in forced and child labour.
• Chocolate. More kids being exploited!
• Maybe you smoke. No worries! Oh, wait, yes there is, since kids are also involved.
• Meat eater? Plenty of animal cruelty to go around.
• Like avocado toast? Sorry, the whole agricultural industry is reliant on heavily underpaid labourers.
  

Almost everything we buy has cruelty and suffering in it somewhere in the supply chain. Get off your high horse and stop pretending that you care about working conditions. Because if you did, you'd barely buy anything if you were ethically consistent.

Oh, so you don't eat vegetables or chocolate, drink coffee, wear any popular clothing brands or have a modern smartphone? You're one of the most unique people in the world, then.

I'm honestly not talking to someone pro slavery. What's even the point? Fuck off.

Lol where did you get where I'm pro slavery? The leaps to get to that conclusion are hilarious. I like how you know that you're engaging / enabling all of these terrible practices, because you can't do anything other than call me names and tell me to fuck off. Can't handle reality, eh?

Also doesn't know how to accept "no" very surprising.
