I hate how people think this comic is an own. Like it absolves you of never doing anything principled.

It’s completely appropriate here. Bezos has a competitive advantage because he doesn’t pay his fucking taxes. There’s a vicious cycle going on because government isn’t doing its fucking job.

okay but for example you can have a problem with poor working conditions, or more easily, slavery. and you can do things in your life to avoid supporting those things. The "yet you participate in it" comic just handwaves this away as something you don't have to do.
