Yes, driving a car supports violent petrostates. Sad but I doubt many people care.
A LOT of our daily necessities drive profits into the hands of people that in general I‘d say aren’t the „nicest“ ones. Some we can steer away from quite easily on a personal choice basis others we would need a collective effort to avoid. But most of the time convenience is in conflict with a moral responsibility that doesn’t show any immediate benefit. Undoubtably these days the „war“ on information has left these „values“ in a state of confusion. Which was the ultimate goal of the „fake-news“ campaign. And it’s starting to feel like I don’t even want to blame people anymore for not knowing what to believe anymore. The system is broken. But I certainly hope that this doesn’t mean that empathic and socially acceptable behaviour will be replaced with advanced marketing strategies that undermine every aspect of our existence but that really seems to be emerging from a fact-less turbo capitalistic world we’re co-creating.
