Something that's wild to me is just how much everyone 'accepts' ads everywhere but also will literally pay to not see ads. It's even more wild to me how much door-to-door salesmen and cold callers see absolutely nothing wrong with what they're doing. Like, not even the inconvenience registers with them. I get that not everyone is super into moral philosophy or whatever, but what the fuck?
Don't need philosophy to not be a chump, but...yeah absolutely.
The more people say it here and there, and not at fever pitch, the more the whole thing weakens.
Eventually enough kids say "but why tho" and then it's on the adults to double down making everything stupid again, or it changes.
