Giving money to Amazon, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Google .etc

It's like, you can't have an argument for price gouging, when you're enabling them by spending. If people were smart, they'd stop giving them money 10 - 15 years ago and they'd be right now, trying to reconstruct so they can be more economically friendly than how they are now.

Stop generalising groups of people.

I cannot think of a proper example rn, but I see this everywhere.

meme example

group a does x

also group a: says something contradicting x

This happens across the board, not only in political topics.

If people were really smart, how would they post insults to make them less obvious?
