I'm sure Bezos is broadly invested across the entire market. If you're buying anything from any publicly traded company, you're giving Bezos some money.
We need to throw the baby out with the bath water. Burn out the cancer. If we can't plug the leak, it's time for a new boat.
Then in the meantime, after you've tore everything down and while you're building your utopia from scratch, everyone starves to death.
That's kind of a shitty argument though. Because I don't think we should just give up. We have to at least try.
But also, when society is this fucked, this deeply, by this type of cancer... It's systemic and we're heading in a very dark direction. People are going to starve to death no matter what, and compared to full on ww3, I think at some point we need to head it off, identify and cut out the cancer, and try our best to not let corruption back into the power vacuum.
None of this is easy. Not easy to do, not easy to talk about, not easy to even think about. It's uncomfortable. And many won't agree. But until society isn't ratfucking select parts of itself and enriching evil people, I think there's some structural improvement to be had. The real question, then, is how far down do we need to go? How deep do these shitty roots with a stranglehold on all of us go?
