Let's count the ways in which the media, twitter, and even HN can be hypocritical: Driving cars that pollute the environment and force the US to wage continous war to secure oil.
Supporting a food industry that is killing us.
Support raising my taxes so you can live a better life.
Use an inordinate amount of energy, water which is scarce.
Live wonderful lives with nice furniture, clothes, etc that are made by really poor people the world over.
Take trips all over the place, using more oil.
Sit at home watching TV and being entertained instead of being productive and fixing problems (yes, this too is a sin).
Have bad children that will grow up to be murderers, theives, leaches, and knownothings because you're too busy whining about some guy hunting an elephant.
Have supported tons of politicians that serve to further their own interests and that of their corporate sponsors. I could go on and on and on before I finally get to: Legally shot and killed an elephant which was destroying crops in an African country. If I switched my domains from GoDaddy for this, I'd pretty much have to withdraw from American society for good, in order to be on decent moral ground. |
