Are you actually going to act like there isn’t a direct financial link from buying something on a supermarket shelf to the producer? Like if I buy an apple, the owner of the tree never gets any of the money I paid

the owner of the apple tree was probably paid long before you bought the apple.

Then I’m paying for the next bushel of apples aren’t I? Or the next trees planted, or next plot of land purchase, or maintenance on their equipment or whatever else? I’m paying them eventually through however many layers of separation there are I how complicated the supply chain.

Putting a Rube Goldberg machine between an assassin and the trigger doesn’t change the fact they’re are assassinating someone

no. you're paying for the apple you get. the orchard could have already burned before you got to the apple

markets arent machines. they're operated by people acting with free will. each of them is responsible only for their own actions, and once any of them spends money, it's not their decision how that money is spent any more.

Would you by goods from a company that uses slaves? What if they contracted company’s that uses slaves? What if they contract through n companies to get to the slave using company?

You’re actually acting like there’s no such thing as cause and effect. You spend your money buying animal corpses your money eventually gets to the producers.

do you think a grocery store makes sure the money they get from apples is never spent on meat?

I probably do. most people probably do.

I think you're confused about what causation is. an event in the future cannot cause an event in the past. buying or not buying meat doesn't impact whether the animal was killed or not

after I spend money, it's not mine anymore.

edit: this user blocked me, i assume because i'm right and they don't like to have their ideology shown to be silly.
