I'd not say that. Capitalism is the best way to get things going. Take a baker refusing to serve a gay couple. Is blowing up Twitter and threating their lives going to do anything? You'll make just as much enemies due to your behavior as that bakers choices made him. BUT if everyone decides to no longer purchase goods from them, then they will either change their ways or go out of business. Too bad many of these SJW or other warriors for rights are selective in their outbursts. They will scream and boycott stores that carry a clothing brand cause it was made by cheap chinese labor, yet wait hours in line for an iphone which is probably worse conditions. They will bitch and moan about some billionaire not paying his taxes yet again buy things like iphone from Apple which is a huge offender of offshore tax evading practices. |
Which leads to the problem of capitalism: in order to survive in a competitive marketplace, shady practices and exploitation are necessary. So, it'd be nice if we could just boycott them and drive them out of business, but when virtually every corporation is doing it, and when they own all the wealth, you either have to give in and participate, or die.
