Originally posted by Lilith You probably should stop buying computers and smart phones then because the Tantalum in them comes mostly from central African countries with human rights abuses and civil wars that make the bad things that happen in Mexico look like a school yard punch up. Then the material gets shipped to China where its refined and processed into the final components under what is essentially indentured serf labour in corporate compounds, because you don't want to pay three to four times more than if it was made to any semblance of ethical standards. Your sneakers are probably made by child labourers in Asia that have to work instead of going to school and getting an education, you should probably stop buying them as well. But you probably wont.

Oh that Lilith, is there nothing she can't do?!

I dunno, throwing up one's hands and just not bothering with any moral battles at all (since fighting all of them effectively would be impossible) strikes me as even worse than addressing one or two of them selectively.

Unless her argument is "There are worse things happening, so how about addressing those first?" But that was not how I read it.

You would!!

I think it has more to do with the seeming shifting of blame due to association. Those on the moral high horse don't realize that they are not helping anyone at all by blaming drug users for the propagation of misery and crime throughout the world, and Lilith was just issuing examples of how profoundly hypocritical this logic is.

Not only is it hypocritical though, it detracts from the heinousness of the actual murderers and kidnappers, and has no regard for the cycle of addiction that keeps some people as customers. It's victim-blaming to some degree, when the reality is done a great disservice to be so neatly compacted into finger-wagging righteousness.
