    But poor people don’t have the financial capacity to stop doing [harmful thing]

    So therefore, I as a privileged upper middle class person, refuse to not do the [harmful thing].

    Spoiler

    I like calling this sort of “I can still use my monster truck because poor people can’t afford to not buy fast fashion.” broken logic, “solidaritywashing”.

    Pretending to be empathetic to marginalised people but using it to perpetuate inequalities.

    Okay but [current system] can’t fix it therefore it’s unsolvable, and you’re [insult] for trying.

      As a liberal, literally the only thing I can conceive of doing is to vote for people who are making it worse within the legal bounds of a sham democracy established by a genocidal imperialist nation

      I guess if contributing to the bad things makes me bad, then there’s literally no other thing that I can do because it might cause me a modicum of personal discomfort

          As a person who is not one of the Being Harmed People, I can confidently declare that I have not personally experienced harm so I guess it’s not so bad

            Yeah, those people who experience harm really need to empathize with us who don’t and the minor inconvenience we’d face if we grappled with harm. Think of the messaging!
