    I feel like a lot of people who say this don’t realize how difficult this actually is for many people who live in different circumstances to them.

    If you, like many, live in some urban sprawl ass area, Amazon has become the “weird part/replacement/too unique for physical stores but costs 5 times the amount shipping it in from somewhere else” central.

    It’s also often more convenient than some other options while being ethically just about on par.

    Its like, I can buy this thing from the walmart family, the loblaws family or jeff bezos.

    They all have their evil, and it rotates from time to time who is taking the cake.

    Like it’s certainly a consideration, like I’ll sometimes pick a slower option just to not buy from amazon, but then its like… its from Bestbuy. How much better is Bestbuy to Amazon? or Newegg?

    I mean, tbh the whole inauguration has certainly knocked Amazon down a few pegs for sure, so I guess this is sort of a pre that bias.

    My point is, there is a shit ton of things any one person can be doing, and different things are more or less important to different people, so do what you can, and don’t expect perfection of yourself, because there will be things you do (if you’re a person that tries) that the person barking at you for not being perfect in some other aspect will be doing and won’t even be aware of what else you do.
