      Do you pay taxes? You could choose to just go to jail instead. Do you use a device made with slave labor? You could choose to abstain from technology and not post on Lemmy. Do you work for a corporation? You could choose not to help them do shitty things and not get your basic needs met. If you said yes to any of these you are being hypocritical.

        Oh, drag doesn’t actually believe it’s as simple as that. Drag is just repeating what .ml users keep saying in regards to the election. It’s not hypocrisy when drag pays taxes, because drag has a nuanced worldview that admits we’re forced by society to make unpleasant choices. But the average .ml user, who thinks the world is a simple place where you can just choose not to support genocide, is a hypocrite as you point out.
