costanostra989··on Apple backs national right-to-repair bill, offering parts, manuals, and tools
Cooperations are made up of people, and the equivalence has been a useful and ubiquitous construct. Abandoning that in the context of morality is, to me, just an attempt to hand-wave the immoral decisions and actions made by the real people within these cooperations.

If I, as a human, only make decisions that are in my best interest regardless of their harm on others, you would not call me amoral. You’d call me immoral. Why does this standard not apply to cooperations?

If this is the first thought you felt the need to share after watching a helpless man crying for his mother being relentlessly beaten to death then you really need to re-evaluate your values and keep them to yourself in the meantime.

And before you reply that you’re “just sharing practical advice”, no what you’re actually doing is immediately taking the focus off of the police’s actions and putting blame onto the victim, and somehow making the discussion about his actions and what he did wrong. Not to mention reducing plain-as-day murder to simply a “fuckup”.

Maybe you should check again, the US has around 28 police killings per 10m people. Far more than any other 1st world country. For example the UK has 0.5 / 10m.

But if your main argument is saying that police everywhere are terrible Id agree.
